Kids Hope USA run

[BroncoBuddha]

saturday we took a group of about thirty people out for a ride, we spent some time just tooling around on the seasonal roads in the allegan forest and then took some trails around a privately owned gravel pit, {with permission of course}

a nice new 4 door rubi high centered

the weather was beautiful for sure, especially after rain was forecast all last week for today, its was a lot of fun, the way the kids light up when they get into the 4x4s and go for a ride makes it all worth it

[xj97sport]

[MuddyPaws 3.0]

Good deal. Thanks for sharing. Great to get involved with the kids.

[jpfreak1980]

I am usually too busy trying not to get stuck to get pictures next time I will bring the camera and get some for you. I would rather have video but don't want to spend money on that now.

Sundowners do this every year and the kid have a great time. They also do a toys for Tot Drive in Kazoo and team up with Marines and fill there rigs with toys.

and while one of the guys was over serving our country they rebuilt his rig and surprised him when he got home.

Sundowners ROCK!:dance::dance:
