December 19, 2009 marked one of the largest single-day snow storms in Southern Eastern PA history and also the "Campana Invitation Snow Run 2009". We braved the storms and headed to Rausch Creek Off-Road Park from Ohio, Maryland and Pennsylvania respectively. The day was graced with the presence of Mcampana (and Marissa), SquibleeArmorX, Matrix12480, SeXterraPA and Schlitzy.

The trails were extremely slick and snow covered. Green trails became blues, blues became a little easier and blacks were untouchable in the winter-like conditions. We took it as easy as possible because everyone had a long trip home and vehicle safety was a huge concern.

Besides a dirty bead seal on a tire and some logs popping up and attacking Jason's truck, no one suffered any carnage. The only real damage was to the driver's themselves busting their *sses by slipping on the hidden ice covered by the snow. I personally fell twice and it was hilarious.

We had an awesome day and I was happy with the triumphant return of "The Beast from the East."

Nice, glad to see "The Beast" back on the trail.
