That is one of the funniest things I've ever read in my life. I literally burst out laughing when I
read the "lessons learned" toward the end. Now I just have to convince my wife to include it in our
Christmas letter!

Well, in Belgium the season runs through from September to March and although it doesn't often
result in the closure of all the trails, choices are often limited during this period. However,
last weekend all the trails were closed at various points. Still got some riding in, but only about
20km or so.

Now there you go just tryin to **** people off. I didn't even need to say "Texans" ... You
obviously knew ... Then again, except for hunting, they generally just pass right on through here
on their way to that under-populated ... easy livin ... cheap land .... unmatched majestic
landscape that is Colorado.

Believe the hype ... believe the hype ... just stop for fuel and keep headin' north. There is nothin
but a wasteland between Texas and Colorado.

BTW I have an article around here somewhere from Southern Utah/Arizona strip country that
recounts the "Tale of two Texans" ... out hunting mule deer on the north rim. Seems they came
into Knab claiming to have shot two of the biggest mule deer they had ever seen ... record
setters they were ...

Turned out they shot two pack mules.

Sounds about right. My favorite recent story is that of Bubba One and Bubba Two, who stuck their
vehicles in an off-limits area near Silverton a couple of Summers ago. Fall on the Kaibab Plateau
can be peligroso, eh?
