June Skyliners report
A Skyliners Hello!
Things here are going quite well. We had a few members go to the Hot Springs Mud Bog / Obstacles over Memorial Day weekend. Congratulations to those who brought home prizes.
The trail ride was fun. The guys had a run by themselves. It was said they sure missed the women not being there. Their tail gate lunch didn't function well! This month promises to be better guys.
The rain here has made life a little soggy. We've tried to do the highway clean-up, but not successfully. We keep trying!
As some of you heard at Convention, the tribal land was going to be posted to what was open and what was closed off. Well, some of that has now started along the river corridor. The main roads are open, but some of the branch off roads have been posted "closed". So, we're going to feel the crunch. We have a couple of members that are trying to get the tribal council to hear us out, about the 4X4 club helping them or if we can do any patrolling or road repairs with them. We must keep trying and hope for the best.
We are planning a trail ride on the 23rd of June. We're going to do the power line road out of Lakeside with Uncle Vic as Captain of the day. We sure hope for some sun, or we might be the 4X4 club with pontoons and paddle tires
See ya 4 wheelers!

May Skyliners Report
Hi Everyone!
Wow! Was that Convention fun for all or what? Thank you to all who attended. All the costumes were great and the race track was a hoot. I just want to say that the cooks, Fred and Sherry Hanson, did a wonderful job.
Congratulations to the costume winners:
Bob and Ann Lambert -Best couple
Leonard Nelson -Best male
Amy Johnson -Best female
Emily - Amy's Daughter -Best child
We need to mention one more costume that was good. We were told that it was not a skirt - it was a wrap! So, I think Tom Mandera should get the Burrito Award for the male that was all wrapped up!
R.C. races was won by Jason Schroeder, future son-in-law to Rob and Cindy St.Clair.
Frontier 4 Wheelers of Helena won the trail riding basket of goodies for the best picture poster contest.
Rob Zolman did a wonderful job on the photo booth. Everyone seemed to be pleased with their pictures, and I have to say, you all looked great!
The Skyliners would like to say congratulations to the state officers. You did such a good job last year and it's nice to have you here again.
Enough of Convention now. Life here is back to usual. Trail rides, some 4X4 fun, and the civic duty of highway clean up. May 18th is a run to Blacktail with a dog luck (short for hot dog pot luck). May 19th we're showing a friend of Jan's some Montana hospitality. She's from California. It's a pot luck and sure to be fun.
We had our election of officers - the same as last year.

The Hot Springs Mud Bog looks like it's going to be fun. Some of the Skyliners are going over to show support.
We're back to trying new ways to build up our membership again with hopes of recruiting a couple more for this year.
We welcome Fred and Sherry Hanson, and Rob and Krystal Zolman, (parents to Trenton & T.J. Zolman - Mickie & Joe Ross' grand sons that most of you have already known since they were babies.) Glad to have you all in the club!
So long for now. -Mickie Ross, R.V.P.

4/13 Trail Ride

Destination TBD.
Make sure your rig has anchor points and you're prepared for whatever weather we get.
HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE
Let's say it's 6:15 p.m. and you're driving home (alone of course), after an unusually hard day on the job. You're really tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to radiate out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home; unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far.
What can you do?

_TPConvention Registration Correction
_TP There is a typographical error in the Forum. The cost is $16.00 per person, not per couple as shown on the registration coupon.
The Skyliner address on the Convention registration form and in the directory
is wrong. If you send in your registration, you'll probably get it back if
sent to box 292.
