The Avinger Future Farmers of America (FFA) once again handled our registration desk and after hours security.  They did another great job this year.

One camper's observation:
I personally witnessed Johnny Cool swan dive into a roaring campfire and the only damage I saw was the thermal exfoliation of eyebrows and eyelids.  After that his name should be Johnny Caliente'. ...Just a thought.  But it gets better, before that, someone on a light 4 stroke single drove through the same fire, the first time successfully, the second time they wiped out just past the same roaring camp fire, with the throttle pinned and the poor engine at 10,000+ and floating valves (old school rev limiter?).  Fire rider then picked the screaming bike up without pulling in the clutch and it roosted the peanut gallery in red sand with a nice half donut before hooking up and exited wheeleying between spectators.
Is it too early to sign up for next years rally??
