Joe, Jon, Craig and I walked up to the field today checking conditions and making plans for gravel to improve the road this season.  It is pretty wet at the moment and these photos show where we plan to put the gravel.

The field is looking great, grass survived the winter just fine.  Much better than last year.

See Jon's field update in the other thread today.

Setting up the "tent".

The guys gearing up this afternoon.  It actually was a very nice day at the field, especially when the sun came out early in the afternoon.

Various shots of joe and craig going through the gate.

As an indication of how fast these quads are: I was shooting at a shutter speed of 1/500th of a second which is a very teeny piece of time.  Still, the speed of the quads caused them to be blurred in the photos.

Joe is staring at the sky while his quad returns home.  A few shots of his slow flyby on the way back.

This is FUN!

---

Craig nicks something coming through here.

---

and tumbles and tumbles.

---

Craig is on a good heading here, but a tad high, and hits the edge of the arch and takes out the gate.

Down she goes and the damage.

He was running three bladed props most of the day, very quiet and very durable, none breaking despite what you see in the pictures.
