                                      Off Road enthusiasts from all over |  Vendors set up shop to offer products and supplies 
                                for trail bound folks, and good food was offered 
                                throughout the weekend which would be just the 
                                ticket after the weather turned nasty bringing 
                                a lot of rain to the area Friday night. The trails 
                                always have some water on them, but the vicious 
                                storm made sure none left without a healthy coating 
                                of Hatfield mud!

                                      Vendors offered 
                                        products and supplies to riders who came 
                                        out for the event, wether they were ATV, 
                                        UTV, or SxS enthusiasts. Riders would 
                                        get some nasty weather Friday night, but 
                                        that would only lead to some muddy trails 
                                        and would not stop the trail riding |  Downtown Gilbert is always a hub for trail riders 
                                who can cruise down main street to get supplies 
                                and fuel, and even a trip through a fast food 
                                joint for some grub. Restaurants open their doors 
                                and welcome riders in for some fine fare that 
                                is sure to make the hungriest trail-hound leave 
                                stuffed! For many, this type of experience on 
                                the trail is un-heard of, but it is exactly what 
                                makes Hatfield McCoy so special. The addition 
                                of the event to the weekend would draw even more 
                                riders as everyone met up at the Larry Joe Harless 
                                Community Center which would serve as ground zero 
                                for the weekend.

                                        rest from all the riding. From hotels 
                                        and motels to the law enforcement in the 
                                        region, everyone works in partnership 
                                        with riders and the entire system. |  |
