As I write this, Loretta Lynn is hosting the annual National Amateur Motocross held there. Its close by (about 10 miles), but the crowd is so huge these days, it’s a just a little more than worth the effort for me to take time for it. The boy had a rare day off yesterday and eased over to check out all the Dust Busting going on. He came home and reported that it was madness out there, but the show stopper wasn’t found on the jumps. It was trails champion Geoff Aaron who had everybody’s jaw dropping. He had his demo laid out and evidently proceeded to make the most of it. Sorry I missed it and it was only a one day stop. Pretty cool though and I even had a call from a guy who had never really seen any trials, but had watched the show and knew I was involved in the sport. I probably should have explained the (huge) difference between what he saw at the ranch and what I’m able to do, but I didn’t have the heart. Heck, everybody needs a hero.
