E Dock Rocks!
 

This one will forever rank as one of my best weekends of all time, boats or no boats.

The combination of great people who treated me like family, along with all of their incredible toys, combined with some perfect weather on Grand Lake - made for one unforgettable time.

Brandon, Jimmy, MC, Delo, Bubba, Masher, Farley, Mac, Tyson, Frosty, Huddy, Dennis and everyone... plus all the girls - such a damn cool bunch of folks... Just typing this brings back great memories- the sound of those beasts blasting off the wakes and landing right next to us, the sight of all that hardware running in formation, the slideshows at the marina bar with everyone in the place staring at the tv screens... my words just can't do justice to the memories.

Most of these shots have been posted on other threads, but they are too good to be lost in the archives. So this thread will serve to put them all in one place. It seemed like every time I picked up a camera that weekend something magical happened. It sure as hell wasn't me- it was the subject matter.

This first batch is the magazine cover and some of the formation shots. The fourth image was the very last photo I took on Monday as I was leaving for the airport.

What a pile of great memories I had in my camera bag. :drink:
