25th Maggotfest

Welcome to Montana

Everything revolves around the bus
The world famous Maggotbus
Home of the Missoula ALL-Maggots Rugby Club

Cinci Kelts and Pac were the host teams who played the Maggots on Thursday night
In order to level the playing field the Maggots should be required to drink all day just as their opponents do!

Emer
The heart and soul of the Maggots
Not to mention, one hell of a bus driver

The Maggots built this little clubhouse complete with viewing deck
Its awesome
I like to hang out with Jake and Russ when I come in to watch the Thursday night matches up here

I was not in Missoula an hour before I ran into the Durango Connection
These are my friends Chris & Sara from Ft Lewis College in Durango CO
They are regulars at the Wild West Rugby Fest in Scottsdale, Arizona

The Oxford
Nothing more needs to be said about this place
The OX speaks for itself
Go there and find out for yourself

Jake and Rich hanging out with the PAC guys on the way to Idaho for some river rafting

Sara and Chris are getting ready to squeeze into their wet suits before taking on the river

The Lochsa River
This is the Indian name for the river and it means, rough water

Coming through the white water
Right about now the adrenaline is peaking

Here's Doc
Doc is the Maggot Web Master as well free spirit

Lochsa Falls
This is the biggest narly rapid on the river
This class 4 + is where our luck finally ran out as we were flipped straight up and out
I was dragged by the undertow for quite a ways and was certain I would die in Idaho
What a buzz killer
Not to mention cold as hell

Done rafting
Didn't drown
Dry clothes
Lets go

Time to leave Idaho

The crew survived the Lochsa

Thank god for emer

Back in town from the rafting trip
The party is just starting at Jays Bar

I hope thats not water

Will played college baseball at ASU with Barry Bonds and this is when I recruited him to play rugby 1985

There's no question the Durango Connection clean up well
More drinking at the Montana Club

Thank you Jake

Good thing we brought a blanket
It can be chilly at times in Missoula

NICE EYE

This is the Potomac Athletic Club
I whored with them on Saturday, as well the Durango Connection, better known as the Fallen Angels also played with them. In fact the girls played all 3 games with PAC and they teamed up all weekend to be PAC's 2nd row. They not only played well but kicked ass. Kudo's to them! By the way these PAC guys are great guys and a riot to party with. Invite them to your tournament.

PARTYTIME AT MAGGOTFEST

The Fallen Angels were everywhere

This went beyond creative

I love this guy!!!
What a special human being

She plays for Bozeman's ladies side
Don't ask

This dude was tremendous
His mission was to give strange ladies free love taps with his paddle all night

Classic situation of good and evil

The m & m lady
I love the candy necklaces

Chewy is a Maggotfest veteran
Only veterans know better to wear their rain gear at the party
