This Graze Mountain Ranch is a private ranch and rght after this Labor Day Run event, this private ranch will be used for hunting till next Spring.  So the plan for the next 4 wheeling event will be SWFWA's event in May 2000. 

We were there for the last event on Memorial Holiday.   Really good trails, excellent trail leaders & spotters, good food, great ruffles...  We enjoyed the 2 day trail rides on a Labor Day Weekend very much !!!

We met up with Bill Ritchie at the truck stop parking lot in Brookshire.  We used our car trailer first time.  It's a Big-Tex Car Trailer.  It worked very good.

 

No more worry about getting us back to home after the event.  That was the main reason we got a trailer.

Bill Ritchie, Alan Stewart and Alan are  debating at the short, but pretty bad hill. the name of the hill is called the "wall" That name explains it all.
Alan Stewart challenged.

Our group (Red Group) was consisted of truly modified rock crawling Jeeps like this trail leader.  It is so nice to go with these hard core, experienced people as always.  There are many to learn at each event we attend
