I mostly joke about the beers, as I actually don't drink much. But, I do enjoy a cold one now and then with the club. The main thing is the friendships that have developed with cool people of very different backgrounds who share a common interest. Hell, PNWX even has it's own resident Neuro Surgeon, so if anyone needs a brain repair on the trail we're set!

It's all about enjoying the scenery and some fresh air while spending time with family and friends.
And BTW, I was afraid of damage at first too when the Xterra was new, but once I got the first scratch all was well. I have not broken anything on the trail, and my body damage has been limited to scratches and small dings, which I now wear with pride!
