Seriously?  the only reason I have heard of or know where Marianna is, is because my company has a warehouse there.  

But i digress...


Yes, thanks Gramps & best of luck to you.

I'm sure you'll come back to visit, like maybe for the 4th? annual Trail Crawl next year. 

Until we meet again Rick. Had hoped to get in one more ride with you as many of us did. Thanks for all your work and may your Quickcrete remain for years to come!!!!!

Thanks for all the fine post.... I am pulling the plugon my computer  early Friday and will probably not be back on line for a week or so.   

Thanks again, gonna miss everyone

Gramps

Gramps: the first "Trailblazer" that Drew and I officially met (at Sherman, of course...).

It was a pleasure getting to meet / getting to know / riding with / trailworking with / befriending such a great guy! Thanks for the pointers...the trailwork at Beatty, etc....the ride at LNSP...and the new monicker: "Pops"!      LOL

Best of luck to you, Rick!

When you come back for a visit,  I'll be expecting a really big fish to throw on the grill.

I've seen some of the pics of the fish you've caught over the years,  and I might have to build a bigger fire pit,  but it'll be worth it to taste one of those bad boys!!!!!!!

I have family in St Pete,  sometimes I go there around Christmas time.  It's really nice in Florida at that time of the year.

We'll try and keep Beatty in fine form,  but you've set the bar pretty high when it comes to trail maintenance at Beatty,  it might take five or ten of us to keep it anywhere close to that bar. 

Oh the memories....

Gramps, Gramps, Gramps! What are we gonna do without you at beatty!! Always enjoyed every ride and hugely appreciated your work with the wee ones! You're inspirational to a younger guy hoping to ride well into the "golden years"!!! Gonna miss you man. Take good care and thanks for all your  contributions to riding in c-town over the years.
