tntmo 901 Posted April 12, 2009 I've been looking forward to this trip for two years. My son and I went to Corral Canyon in 2007 during spring break and had a blast but I had to miss it last year since I was out of town due to work. This year we made sure everything would work out and had been looking forward to it for weeks. I took some time off work and got everything ready. My buddy Paul was able to get some time off also so we invited him and his son Kent along too. We got to Corral Canyon campsite about 10am and it was pretty much wide open. One truck was parked there with a trailer and a bunch of people without motorcycles were camped at one site. They quickly became known as "the hippies" since they had long hair, played frisbee golf and had a drum circle around the campfire. They didn't bother us though, so no worries. We set up camp pretty quick and got comfortable. My son, the goof! PBR makes camping even more fun. Aaron is ready to go. I'm almost ready to go. Paul and Kent on the trail. Aaron hitting the jump. Paul tries it. I try it. Stream crossing. Aaron with the hills behind him. Kent tries to drive straight up the hill, he didn't make it. We decided to do Bronco Peak from the campsite. Why not? Two successful Bronco Peak climbers. Don't we look proud? Kids around the campfire. Paul gets too close to the fire. My son and I. Me on a rock. Paul dropping his bike. It was raining and hailing at this point and the rocks were slick. He made it up without too much trouble. Great weekend! It was awesome on Thursday and raining/hailing Friday but we still got plenty of riding in. I loved riding in the rain, I figured Mimi would have enjoyed it. The kids had a great time and I think that's what matters the most. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Audible 0 Posted April 12, 2009 This is my goal for my son and I. I want to take advantage of every moment I can with him as he grows up, too precious to waste. He is 3 now and just learning to ride his bicycle with training wheels...he's on his way. :boast: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crawdaddy 96 Posted April 12, 2009 This is my goal for my son and I. I want to take advantage of every moment I can with him as he grows up, too precious to waste. Good plan Randy......I'd encourage everyone/anyone to get out and enjoy the sights & sounds with their sons/daughters at an early age.......as we all know, it's really fun/satisfying to escape the electronic babysitters (cell phones, T.V.'s, computers, etc.) and spend some uninterrupted time with your kids.....so don't sit around waiting for memories to take root.......head out and make'em as Tom did with Aaron this past wekend!!! If you start your sons/daughters early they'll be ready for dualsport fun when they hit their teenage years because by that time they'll be skilled enough/tall enough to handle a full sized/street plated bike......I can neither confirm nor deny that Jarrett may have started riding organized dualsport events with me when he was 13 (and we've had a blast together ever since.....) Our first organized dualsport event together was the the 2005 Bass Lake 250.....what a blast!!! Now get out there and start making memories!!! :boast: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TrophyHunter 15 Posted April 12, 2009 Great post Tom....glad to see you all had fun! I second C-Daddy....missed a bit during their growing up.....but the oldest is 28 (it comes quickly) & doing the BAR 10 with me in a couple of weeks. I have to try Bronco one of these times.

I almost feel like I was there :boast:...Thanks for the pics, video and great write up. E I did the PBR shot with you in mind. Bronco on the WR was difficult due to my new seat. It's a bit taller and I can barely touch ground, I fell over a lot. My son is my favorite riding partner, we always have a great time no matter what happens.
