Well,
We should have next years full schedule done by the end of December. I want to give everyone time to plan for the first ride of the season. We are waiting on the date to be confirmed but, this is the weekend. I would like for the first ride to be a big turn out, get the new season started out right. There is plenty to do here for everyone. Plan for it.
-
If I can get off of work im in. I will know in a few days.
-
Forgot to mention that there is plenty of room for trailers and camping, for the ones that have not been.
Brian I would love to watch you do "the ugly". That would make my day.
-
16th to 18th as in Wednesday to Friday??
EDIT: I was looking at 2008's calender, lol. Thats my birthday so I should be game ;D Plus, its a 3 day weekend so every one should be able to come.
-
I'm there. :)
-
Every one should have some fresh PTO or laid off so no excuses! ;D I love some Morris, still one of my favorites.
-
I'd like another whack at Morris Mountain. When we went last January it was rainy and really muddy. I think I will like it a lot better if it's dry. Here's me and Corey last year... it was muddy

So there! I will be camping old school style. I got the burnin sticks for anybody who wants to camp!
-
I am in, this is my favorite pay to ride park.

Yeah, I want to camp so I can play with my toys :D
-
I am off the 19th for MLK Day too.
-
I will try very very hard to make it
-
Finally, a ride on a weekend I don't have to work. I've been missing all the rides since before summer started due to work and football season, so I'll plan on being there for this one. Haven't been to MM but I'm assuming there will be trails suited for a smaller rig like mine.
-
Yes. A stock rig can do lots there.
-
Damn. I've been wanting to check that place out too.
I'll be a daddy by the 15th so I'm out. :'(
Bring me back some pics!
-
I'm in unless it's muddy like Shamrock Run this year. People were getting stuck in the parking lot.
-
I am up for this one. I will know more myself the closer the ride gets. I will camp as well!!
-
Sounds good and hope to make it. I will probably do a Saturday/Sunday ride. I will drive mine Saturday and ride dog with some one Sunday to take pictures.
-
who needs lockers???... i am going to try to be there
-
I posted behind you and it must be in limbo somewhere. Hope this is a big turn out.
-
I might be in for riding on Sunday. I am coming home that weekend but can't leave until Saturday afternoon.
-
I'm in on this one finally. I will probably just ride saturday tho. I am not camping in Jan.

haha, yeah it was cold last January, but definitely fun. I'm ready to see the new ride!
-
that is why you need something warm to cuddle with at night... no Glen your not sleeping in my bag with me...
-
I need to get the show dates for the Barrett Jackson auctions in January. I have to work the show. It probably is the same stinkin weekend. I will post once I know.
-
Whats your dogs name? Hose-head or something? Thats your blanket!!LOL!!! Can someone give me a no BS assesment on this park/ride? This will be my last gig till April/May-ish. Let me know!

Good sized park.
Park is split in to two halves. Right side has most of the hard stuff on it. Left side has most of the easy stuff on it. But there are a few hard trails on the easy side and a few easy trails on the hard side.
I spent about 8 hours there one day last year and had fun all day long. I have only been there when it was dry.
This is my favorite place to go pay to play.
-
Thanks Larry-
It seems the the word "DRY" is key! Tellico was not really dry this past ride and not all that fun with those conditions. I am wondering if this will be a reason to go or not?
-
I may be in I dont know yet my wifes b-day is on the 19th so I have to do a lot of buttering up between now and then.
-
great ride. Has more than you can handle. I have only been there wet. No big deal. Lots to do still, no big hills to worry about if its wet. This ride will be a go either way.
-
The big climb up the mountain past the mud fields is a fun one when wet, just because it's so long. I went out with just my Jeep and my co-pilot one night and we were just gonna cruise and hit a little mud. We started up that climb, started spinning and realized we were already in it :o We couldn't stop. There was no where to turn around and if i wasn't on the gas, I was sliding backwards. It was probably 2 whole minutes of spinning up that climb cause it's like 200 yards or so to the top if I'm not mistaken. Very fun, and VERY scary :D Won't do that wet again, but it was still a very fun trip.
-
The climb you are talking about Will is Hammerdown. I agree with not doing it wet, there is a rock garden near the top on the right side going up. Here are a couple of links with pictures, they were both Shamrock Runs one in '07 and one in '08. The flop in '07 was a guy riding with us and it happened about 3/4 up hammer down. He was showing off the power of a 5.0 YJ and took a bad bounce. http://s428.photobucket.com/albums/qq9/mdo817gatrailrider/MM%20Shamrock%2007/

I really want to get the XJ over there but not in the mud.
-
Here are some pics when a few of us went early 08.

-
thats not a bad looking JK... I heard the guy who owned it sold it and has a mall crawler now...
{btt}
that place looks great... cant wait...
-
I'm probably in if there's at least a few stockers going.
Oh, and Germ, when you getting new tires? I'm obviously in the neighborhood for at least one new tire and wouldn't mind bumping them up to something a little more aggressive ;D
-
There is a couple stockers going. Mines not that big, plus we will split into groups if need be. So dont worry if your stock or small tired. Plenty to do for everyone and bypasses for all obstacles.
-
I called Randy to inquire about making this an exclusive ride. We will need at least 10 people to commit with $10 before we can reserve it for the whole weekend. It will only cost each rig (not per person) $40 total for the whole weekend and your $10 will be deducted from that. So how many people can commit.
I can ONLY drive if I get some tires by then or I will ride passenger with some one. but no matter what I WILL BE THERE
-
right Adam.......i hear ya..... i will be there as of now... work may change so just pencil me in
-
Please checkin if you plan to attend.
$10 deposit can be PaypPal ed to matt@gatrailriders.com
Please make note your name and for Morris Mtn.
-
Signed the list and I will pay you once I get the Jeep out and fixed! >:(
-
I think I'm in for this one...
-
I think I'm in for this one...
Sounds good!
-
I am waiting on the wife to get back with me. I might need you guys to call her and persuade her she needs to go or just let me go!!!LOL!!
-
She knows it will be a blast! I never see her not having a good time!
-
She just emailed me. It will all depend on school and her work load. I guess I need to get down to either REI or Dicks and get that tent and her a sleeping bag! Worst case, I will show up friday evening or early Sat. I will keep you posted. I got the guiness Ben!! {toast}
-
You're my hero!!!!!!!
-
ok and i will have the sam adams
-
MikeD, are you going for sure? Take leave!! ;D Has anyone seen MikeL and is he planing on going? I will get the Jager than and Bull!
-
Me and Adam had the pleasure of doing lunch with him on monday. He said he has to see if he has is daughter or not.
-
as of right now i am going.... the only thing that will stop me is if i have to work.. i may not be able to be there till sat morn though...
-
I hit a snag on this one as well! I really have no control over it, but I might be rolling in late as well! Sucks, but life happens!
-
Its getting closer. I am ready to ride some more, I will be passing right by this place tomorrow >:(. Hopefully we will be fortunate enough to have a dry weekend. So far is everyone dragging a tent?
-
I'm really ready to get back on the trails, it has been too long for me. I'm definitely going with the tent unless I puss out and have to get in the jeep. We need some more people to commit to this ride so we can get the place to ourselves.
-
I will only be there for one day. So I am wheelin the pee out of the TJ that day.
-
hey matt if we only plan to come for a day do we still need to give a deposit and its $20 for the day right? I think I might just come for a Saturday. Not 100% sure yet
-
like i said i plan on going... cant use leave trying to save that for March/April.. i have to go somewhere for 3 weeks.. ;D but i do want to go.. i dont have pay-pal hey Matt pay for me and i get you back plus a beer or 2..
-
Matt-
same here. I will know the closer we get. Actually, I will contact you when I get in.
-
hey matt if we only plan to come for a day do we still need to give a deposit and its $20 for the day right? I think I might just come for a Saturday. Not 100% sure yet
Ditto.. on the question???
If we only ride for one day and pay our deposit before the 5th of Jan we only have to pay 10.00 for the day we ride.. that is a total of 20.00. Just clarifying. It is about 7 hrs for me but, I am seriously thinkig about making the trip.. If I can take on that Friday, drive up that day, ride Saturday, drive home Sunday. All this is depending on taking off Friday..
-
I will double check. Adam called to get us the park and pricing. I know that it used to only be $30 for the weekend so I will double check and make sure rates didnt go up. Right now there site still says $20 a day.
-
yeah it is $20 a day and we have to have atleast 10 people that are paying $40 to reserve this so come on lets get people talking and riding on this trip {letseat}
-
I am going to chip in for the whole $40 even if I am only able to ride one day.
-
I got to get races4fun (judd) to sign for MM. I know he is planing on going.
-
Keeping my fingers crossed, but it looks like I'm gonna make this one.
I needs me some Morris Mountain revenge. {letseat}
-
I got to start getting my jeep ready for this trip. Gotta replace the muffler hanger I broke at tellico, put my new diff cover on, change front pinion seal and the oil, and fix my pucks (bumpstop) that fell out at tellico. This will be here before we know it.
-
I'm in.
-
Paid my deposite, but still not coming if they have had a lot of rain that week.
-
Lets hope for some sun then {O0}

If there are quite a few people still wheeling Sunday, I will come over. I just can't wheel Saturday and I figured people will be wheeling longer on Sunday since Monday is a holiday and a lot of people will be off work. I went ahead and sign in.
-
well, I am out for this one.
-
well, I am out for this one.
Well you are lame. We can find you a ride if the Jeep is still busted up :P
-
Wife is heading out of town. I owe her a free trip.
-

-
Wife is heading out of town. I owe her a free trip.
Gotcha. ;)
-
Me and Adam will be feeding everyone on Saturday. So if you plan to attend be sure to check in.
-
WHAT!? Cool, thanks guys! ;)
I'm gonna bring a little firewood. We need to make a bigger coal bed than the one we had last year. ;D
-
We need to figure out how to pipe that fire into the tents :D
-
I don't think it's gonna be as cold as last year, but if it's anywhere close I would seriously bundle up. I was inside of a fleece bag, which was inside of my 20 degree bag and I was still a little cold. I'm gonna wear more layers to sleep this time. I'm excited about this one!
Just wondering Matt, are the co-pilots getting fed too? He's not a GATR member so he can bring his own dang food if he has to :D
-
Yea. We are gonna be doing burgers & dogs so I think we can feed everybody ;)
-
Me and Adam will be feeding everyone on Saturday. So if you plan to attend be sure to check in.
FREE FOOD!!! haha.

-
Well, you guys have fun :( I'll be in Miami by then.

-
Maybe, if I had a trailer.
-
Nice looks like oh Daniel is finally going to ride again :)
-
it will not smell like bacon.... the heat will rise up and keep you warm...
-
Nice looks like oh Daniel is finally going to ride again :)
Yeah, I gotta see if the ol' Ranger still remembers what 4 wheel-drive is.

-
anybody planning on getting there early enough for a ride on Friday? I'm planning to take the day off work.
-
I may be able to. Just depends on when the rest of the central Georgia crew is ready to roll cause we're forming a caravan over there. We will know an EDT sometime in the next few days I think.
-
I may as well. Got to see if we get enough people renting for the whole weekend.
Got to have 10 people that will be there FRI-SUN paying $40. If not it will just be non exclusive and I will go early Saturday and leave Sun afternoon.
-
My deposit is coming Matt. Sorry, this Christmas thing did a running diamond cutter inverted suplex on my wallet. But I will be riding the whole weekend.
-
you are tellin me Will! And with this new year comes time to pay off that Credit Card I always complain about that keeps me from Jeep mods. If I do make it, it will only be a Saturday for me
-
No prob. My wife is no longer working (for the next 5 months) and I am in debt up to my eyeballs, plus I dont make enough to cover the bill so... I feel ya :o

I haven't talked to Jimmy yet, but the central Georgia crew should be there by Friday night at the latest. Maybe there in the afternoon cause I don't have class on Friday this semester. Jimmy, what's that Friday looking like for you? Kyle, you gonna caravan with us? We will be going through LaGrange so I can pick up my crap/co-pilot at the house. I'll make sure my folks don't chat our ears off this time Jimmy :D
I also plan on staying through Monday too.
-
We will be going through LaGrange so I can pick up my crap/co-pilot
Is LaGrange on the way? :D :D
-
Yeah, it's only an hour from my house.
-
count me in (tentatively) for the caravan. I requested off work for 16th-18th but i might have to work friday morning. unfortunately i won't know until 2 days before what my work schedule is (lazy ass boss). But I'll let you know as soon as I can. when you headin back to milly will?
-
Well this will be my first ride with you guys assuming i can get off work! But i guess i'll find out what a stock TJ can do with nothing but a couple of sliders!!!!! I'm looking forward to it.
-
josh, aside from my 31x10.50 tires and cragar wheels my tj is still sittin on stock suspension and open diffs front and rear. so if you get dragged out so will i...haha. see ya there!

We will head out friday night depending on Josh.
-
Guess if I make it I will join the small TJ crew with my stock JK.

hello fellas,
I found your website some months ago and registered. I've never met any of you, but I read your internet chatter every few days. My name is Steve in Orlando, Fla. I just scheduled a few days off work around the morris mountain weekend and would like to ride up and participate.
I have a moderately modified TJ and some camping and trail ride experience. I'm a casual member of the local orlando jeep club. I have all the required gear you list as needed, except a winch. I would be riding and camping alone. I'm not crazy or anything like that.
I will post in the "sign up" thread and send a deposit by paypal. No harm done if you prefer I pick a different trail ride to introduce myself.
thanks
-
Come on out! Any ride is a good ride to meet us and there will be plenty of more built rigs for you to hang with.
-

We will head out friday night depending on Josh.
North East side??? north east side would be Augusta.. and noone asked me...haha still dont know if i am going or not.
-
Camper/Steve,
Come on out. I would love to see that jeep in person, lord knows I have read your build thread on jeepforum enough.
Mike you better get your butt out there, we need someone for grille duty. {salute}
-
So what time does the ride start? Keep in mind AL. Is 1 hour behind us...
-
How does 9:00 sound?
-
Steve,
Come on out....
okay, thanks guys. I'll start making plans. I would probably arrive friday 1/16....mid morning. I-75 to atlanta and then west. I'd likely camp friday night and saturday night.
I'll keep watching here for more talk.

Count me in on that. I can meet y'all wherever.

-
okay, well here's my first question.
I just followed the link to the morris mountain web page. They have a event calender that shows when the park is reserved. I see where it's blocked off for jan 16-18, but their calender is incorrect. It shows those days as satuday to monday.
What are your intended days for rides? Fri-Sun....or Sat-Mon.
thanks
-
Camper, looking forward to seeing you and your Jeep in person! With the MLK Jr. holiday on Monday the 19th, a few of us were planning on staying from Friday through Monday, with a few guys riding for just a day or two. It's very casual. Come ride, eat, watch and have a great time. This is an awesome group of folks. If you have any other questions just ask!

If I'm not mistaken we will ride Fri-Mon. Some get there early enough to do some riding on Friday. I'm still up in the air on my arrival. Finishing my check list at this time. New tires on the tow pig this morning, that hurt $$$. Got home and my dif covers finally came in from Solid, so I'm headed down to my shop to change them. Check torque on everything under the Heep and lets go ride.
-
saturday ride is what time? 10am?
-
Matt said 9 but not sure of that is 9 AL time or 9 GA time
-
Either or, it usually means add an hour to our departure time. I know this group too well! :D ;)
-
either way we wont hit the trails till noon. haha

For those that are camping Friday. we could raise ya on Channel 7, oh wait, yall will just be getting a clear head by noon. My Bad.

I wouldn't hear you anyways {nln}
Mark, you or Ben or somebody... wait, Ben's coming now? :-\ I thought you had to watch the kids?
Well when you guys are coming in on Saturday morning, give me a call and I'll make sure everybody is up and getting ready to ride.

...says the guy mark and i coulnd't get a hold of till 1pm the last time we rode at rr because he got a little drunk.
maybe we should leave the rising to someone else...
-
Something happened that night... what do ya know I can't remember :D but there was a reason I got hammered that night. Last night of my finals or something of that manner.
With the exception of that night, I can usually get a cup of coffee and I'm ready to roll. I was lucky to get out to River Rock that day. It was a bad night :P

Hey, it could be better. Last January at Morris Mountain, we came in, woke them up, let them eat and get dressed for an hour, then bullshitted for an hour, and then rode.
-
Is there another way? I don't think I have ever been on the trail when we were scheduled to be. Will, I am still on the fence. Trying to make it for saturday!
-
when didnt i show up
-
toys for tots at RR.
-
toys for tots at RR.
You are the keeper of the archives! But I think the excuse was, "I over slept" I mean, " my wife didn't wake me up" :P
-
I forgot to do some things on my list.
Reinstall bump stops.
Route rear vent hose.
Trim the slider bolts.
Hopefully i can get this done.
-
oh yea forgot about the toy for tots run... yea i couldnt make that due to some other things
-
well long story short... i over slept.. didnt get up till 11... sorry guys... my wife was like thought you were going wheeln today... i was like why didnt you wake me up... she was like not my job... so i over slept... my bad... hope you all had fun..
"other stuff goin on" huh?
-
I forgot to do some things on my list.

When were you planning on doing all this? I'd like to help and possibly look at mounting those sliders, but I can't do Saturday because we've got a show at the Masquerade again. But any evening, assuming you can, I should be free.
Jeremy you'd better go!

10 DAY WEATHER FORCAST -- ANNISTON AL
http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/USAL0023?from=36hr_fcst10DayLink_undeclared
Whatcha think??
-
Hopefully it will stay sunny! I don't care how cold it is, long as there's no mud! :P
-
yea, I agree. I can turn the heat on.. I hope the two days of rain on wed and thur before the ride is not that much.
-
Look again. It says sunny now.... ??? haha
The last day of rain it says now is this Saturday so that's a good week. But it's likely to change 10 more times before next weekend. I'm hoping for sun though! :)
-
Me too. I cant wait. I would like to enjoy a dry park for once

I've only been twice, the last 2 Shamrock runs, wet/muddy both times. I think MM sits in a rain forest. I don't mind a little wet, just don't want the whole place soup.
-
Well, I'm going rain or shine. I'll just be happier if it's the latter. {letseat} {letseat}

What Mike said ;D
Is the drought over yet? I swear it has rained every day for 3 weeks... at least it seem like it
-

It seems like all the last rides I've been on (no matter how long ago) it always seems to rain right before or during the ride itself. And my tires don't get a long too well with mud anymore. Tell 'em Ben and Jeremy... having to pull me away from trenches... no good.

dont be a fair weather wheeler... mud is half the fun... hell i still have mud inside my jeep from when MikeL told me to try out the trail by the river at RR.. yea i am blaming you for that.... hahaha ... great times..

Not bashing the mud... I still have mud inside of my truck from a long time ago. I'm not even sure when I got it... but it's there.
-
Deposit has been made. Everyone else pay Matt or Adam upon arrival.
-
For any of you who've been to this place before....
I usually throw some firewood in the jeep when I go to the local woods. This drive is gonna be five or six hundred miles one way, so I don't think I'll want to haul wood that far. Are there any places near the campsite to pick up a bundle or two.
Also, how far from a country store or gas is this place? In case I wanted to run down the road for ice or aspirin...
I'm bringing a tent and a few tarps. Do we have any tree cover to stretch a tarp to gather under if its raining?
I'm from flat florida. Any of the easy trails go for any distance where I can just poke along and get use to elevation changes....practice with my hand throttle....pretend I'm fearless?
If I show up friday morning, do I pay the property owners my fee...or do I wait to pay your leaders for group payment?
By the way, I bring my own tools and know how to fix some things....I have spare front axles, a couple u-joints, tire plug kit and air....that kind of thing.
Just jumping in here to boost my post count....
-
Everyone will pay me or adam. Dark blue Rubicon or White crappy TJ. We will try to get there mid day-early afternoon Fri. If anyone ask just let them know your with GATR.
There is a gas station within 15 min.
Me and daniel will try to bring some pallets to burn.
Plenty of long easy trails to ride. Camp ground does have some trees around.
-
Me and daniel will try to bring some pallets to burn.
You got some more pallets from down the road? What time are you planning on heading out? If its a Friday I should be off by 3, which should put me around the Branch at like...3:45 or so.
-
Not positive on departure. I seen another stack down the road ;D
-
I sure hope they've cleaned up the bath house since I was there last. >:(
Leaving Gwinnett 6AM Saturday.
-
Well, I got the front end of the Jeep back together. Still have death wobble, but I haven't done an alignment yet since it started raining, so I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will fix the DW. I wish I could find a trailer to use so I don't have to scramble to try to get the thing 100%.
-
I'm planning to bring as much firewood as I can fit in my Jeep, we have a bunch of split wood at work.
Camper, if there is a Home Depot, Lowe's, or even Kroger/Publix they generally have the bags of wood. I would think in Anniston you would find at least one of those places.
-
well Matt still not sure if i will be able to make it or not.. pm me about the deposit so we can work something out... i'll let Will bunk with you from Fri-Sun in trade... ;D just let me know
-
I think we should make the deposit, no problem. Got to have ten people that are camping. Once that is set then everyone else can just pay when they get there. ALSO if your planning on going and have not checked in, please do so.
-
Something might have come up for that Sunday... I'm not sure yet, I'll have to let you know.
-
I kill you... You can leave saturday night.
-
Do I have to pay a deposit just to come? My truck want start. YET
-
I kill you... You can leave saturday night.
That's what I'm thinking. You still wanna try and that crap on Thursday?
-
The ride includes Monday the 19th for $40, right? So the dates are 16th-19th?
-
Adam is confirming that the park will be open on monday. The $40 if for Fri-Sun right now. Or if its open I am guessing Sat-Mon.

The Morris Mountain calendar shows 16-18 as Sat-Mon, but 16-18 is actually Fri-Sun, so their calendar is wacky.

Steve,
the camping area is an open field surrounded by trees on a couple of sides. We try to keep around the trees and if you're getting there on Friday you shouldn't have a problem getting a good spot next to some. Plenty of trails to ride around on. They are mostly "access" trails with all of the harder obstacles off to the side so you shouldn't have to worry about running up on some stuff and turning around.
-
I am a bit rusty since I have not wheeled since November! >:( Lookin forward to a good day on the rocks!

Well I'm looking forward to whatever excitement I can get into. In recent years, I've learned to hold my horses till I actually leave my driveway. But my wife said I could go, and my boss said have fun, and I'm avoiding anyone that sneezes....
I'm probably gonna leave sometime late thursday evening and drive I-75 north. When I would go to Helen, Dahlonega, or Chatsworth, I could usually make it to Macon by-pass and crash for an hour or two at the rest area. Then cruise through Atlanta before traffic gets bad. I'll probably try that this time and hit I-20 west early friday morning. If I get there ahead of the regulars, I'll go hunt some firewood and screw around till a crowd gathers. I won't pick a campsite till I meet some of y'all.
I changed the suspension and tires and stuff over a year ago and my jeep is in good shape and drives the highway pretty nice. But I haven't loaded it up and driven it quite this far since then. 60 mph and I'm sure it won't be a problem. For me, just the road trips themselves are a fun break from my middle aged life...
I asked about the soft trails because I haven't really tested my jeep on much...and it's not my nature to talk big. The florida woods are pretty tame. But if I learn I can follow some of you to the deep end of the pool, that's where I want to be.
-
camper: if you're gonna go thru macon you could meet up and caravan with us. I think there will be about 6 in the caravan from "middle georgia". We are gonna meet up early afternoon friday in macon and head out from there...
-
i think i remember that day... cant be sure but was that the day where Glen had to be winched up the hill....???
I think he is talking about when I got winched and pulled all over Tellico.

Sounds good. I just got back from a round trip between LaGrange, GA and Gainsville, Florida and the time that I spent on 75 (between Tifton and Gainsville) was pretty smooth sailing.

I'll be in the pool so you can follow me! We will have fun no matter what! Always do! {toast}

Matt, I'll get Beth to send you the deposit tonight (she is paying for the ride as my birthday present ;D ). BTW, since my birthday is that weekend, if on Saturday night the tents arockin, don't come aknockin' ;)

Nah, we wouldn't do anything like that

Following Ben to the deep end is fun, if you decide to follow Larry to the deep end you better bring a life raft.
Hey Jimmy it's my Birthday weekend also, think Beth would want to pay for my weekend, just the ORV part, I'll take care of my fuel and broken parts, I already sent the deposite so if she just sends Matt another $30 that'll do it.
-
lol, I'll ask ;) What day is your birthday? Mines the 18th
-
I will be drowning in the shallow end of the pool :D
First come first serve on camp sites. Dont be shy go ahead and get set up when you get there, that way you can help with my tent ;)
Adam picked up the meat today. I better remember a grill..
-
lol, I'll ask ;) What day is your birthday? Mines the 18th
13th

Mark, she said that's fine...
...as long as you pay for her to go to law school ;D
-
I think the last time I went wheeling was... hell, I can't remember. I think it was River Rock, when Mike made breakfast and some of us sat in the camper eating. I think.... it's been a while.
-
Daniel, you went to MM with Jerm, Matt, Adam and me last spring/summer.
-
I remembered that, I just didn't know if River Rock was before or after Morris Mountain. Either way, it's been a long time.
-
That River Rock ride was in February. It was Southern Jeeps' Winter Run when we all got those cool T-shirts.
-
I can't wait to get my Morris Mtn- GATR Ride 2009 shirt next weekend! :). 3xl Matt!
-
We should really start doing that. I like t-shirts. Especially off roading t-shirts {letseat}
-
Shirts would be cool if we had a good supplier for a reasonable price. Maybe even get to the point of a shirt for the rides. You got your Morris Mountain shirts, River Rock shirts, Tellico shirts... the list goes on. Ok... maybe not every ride, but the big ones for sure.
-
I'll check with a couple of printing places I know. I know one here in LaGrange does shirts for the paint shop and they are great. I'll talk to them about pricing before I go and also the printers that my school uses. I may be able to get us a deal there.

Where's that shirt design that Ben did a while back?
-
I am not kidding at all, I would buy the heck out of a shirt if it had Ben's doodle on it. Maybe that on the back with Georgia Trail Riders on it somewhere, and then the state logo on the front or something. Where is it Ben?

Well, due to gearing issues... I am out on the ride. :'(

Well, due to gearing issues... I am out on the ride. :'(

That's disappointing. You're the wilderness camper. I was hoping to meet you and get some more details about your n. georgia campsites.
What's wrong with your gears?

Sorry about that man. :-\ You know we'll find you a seat if you can get a ride. Doug?.... weren't you guys both planning on coming in Saturday?
-
So guys... it's gonna be freakin freezing next weekend. Can anybody recommend a battery powered or 1 lb. propane bottle tent heaters?
-

A 20 degree sleeping bag should be toasty!
-
looks like they keep lowering the chance of rain for thurs/fri. Dry and cold will be better than wet and warm (for wheeling at least)
-
Will, check with Doug about a bag. He bought 2 for the trip last week and said he was going to return them. I think he broke the zippers though. :D I suggest going to wally world and buyin a cheap 20 bag then return it. ;) I will more than likely go. Briggs would be heart broke if we did not come down. Might come fri night if it is not too cold. Me, fine, Briggs is the issue. So answer me this... are there bypasses for the obsticles? If so I may just wheel around and not do anything dumb. :D ::)
-
The way the park is set up u have a main path. And all the obstacles are off to the side. This isn't to say the main path is all 2wd but it is not a hard core trail either. Now depending on your gear problem the other side of the park has a long steep hill climb to get to more trails...
-
Will, if a 20 degree bag isn't warm enough, boil some water over the fire right before you go to bed, pour it into a Nalgene and toss it in your bag. It fakes body heat pretty well for a while. If you are extreme, do like Bear Grills and replace boiled water with fresh urine :P
-
Jimmy, I use a method similar. I have a P bottle so I do not have to get up at night. Then if I need the warmth. Put it in the sack. Now what I do is take my jacket (pullover) and put it in my bag then my feet and it helps a ton since most people have cold feet while campin. Also can take rocks, wrap in foil, put by fire then put in the bag. Smaller river rocks work well. And one more thing... if you sleep in your skibbies then you are usually warmer since it lets more body heat out. But to each his own.

There are bypasses, some take 4 wheel drive like Jerm said. We all have straps(LOL), If yall got me over the Mountain, I'm sure we can get you where you need to go there. So that is a yes, we will see ya?
-

I recomend the Holiday Inn Express, but I'm a wus.
-

Thank you. No one agrees with me on that one. I just laugh when everyone else is cold. I guess us young guys don't have to worry about a pee bottle :P
-
Jimmy, you are one of the few that knows the truth about skibbies! :D As for the pee bottle... As long as I have been campin that has to be one of the best things I have ever done. When it's 25 outside and you gotta go, would you rather get up, freeze captain winky or roll over and go? Us "older" guys know what's up. :D
-
I bought a "20 degree" bag from Walmart last year. Nice mummy bag. At Morris Mountain last year I had a fleece bag on inside of that. It was still pretty nipply. I think I may do the rock and tin foil thing. If you guys hear a whelp followed by "son of a !!!!!!" then you know what it is ;)
-
.....
Also can take rocks, wrap in foil, put by fire then put in the bag. Smaller river rocks work well.
You gotta watch out about putting wet rocks in a fire. Sometimes they explode....steam is a powerful force.
I've put hot water in the nalgeen, but it still gets cold before long. I've pissed in a bottle too, but then I don't want to use the bottle anymore... :D. I had good results with the therma patches from walgreens. Peel em and stick em to your t-shirt. They get pretty hot, so better to keep something between your skin and the patch. They last a while....don't take up much room in a pack.
The main thing is to get your body off the ground and keep your head warm. I have a therma rest air matress for backpacking and a walmart air matress for car camping....I kind of hope it's gonna be cold.

Thermarest pad as well. Must have foam inside for heat retention. Ski cap always when sleeping! Amazing what that will do for you! Wet rocks, you are right. I was thinking dry but good call as they could blow! Will, if I hear a womans skreetch I know it was you! :D
-
Will, check with Doug about a bag. He bought 2 for the trip last week and said he was going to return them. I think he broke the zippers though.
LOL! the zipper did break on one of them, they were a 20 degree and a 30 degree bag nested, and I was warm all night, even after peeing in the coke bottle, well most of it went in I think. :D :D My "Pilates" pad sucked! I'll have a bottle like Ben's next time!
I am picking up my 0 degree 6'8" bag at REI tonight ($58) and my Big Agnes Hinman Sleeping Pad - Long!

Will, if I hear a womans skreetch I know it was you! :D
That's funny. I laughed. This should be fun.

a real man can just throw it out the zipper piss and roll it back in... dig a small hole next to the bag.. a bottle works too.....

Well, I just found out that my sister is being induced with her 4th kid next Friday in Rome. Luckily I can still head down Friday and wheel that day, wheel and camp Saturday, and just get up Sunday AM and leave first thing to go see her and the baby.
Matt, I'll probably leave earlier than the NE crew now to try to get some wheeling in Friday.
-
Sounds good. We are gonna try and be on the road by 3:00 Friday. So should be there around 5:00ish PM

Anybody gonna be riding without doors this weekend?
I was planning to have options. I'll drive interstate with my full doors and soft top. I have some canvas half doors I'll swap out when I get to the site. I also have a bikini top I might roll up and bring in the jeep.
...and yes, those predicted temperatures are pretty cold for my florida blood. I'm gonna find some firewood and bring as much as I can fit. I've camped below freezing a few times before but I've forgotten how I felt about it... ;D
I'm not going to bail out though...it sounds like it could be a campout to remember...{toast}
Do gatrailriders events allow beer at the campsite?
-
Steve if they didnt i would never go.... but since it is going to be cold out i would bring something that will keep you warm... a hot 25yr blonde that thinks your the best thing since sliced bread... bring 2 of those i might need one...

I was getting a weird vibe from the left rear so I put my spare on and it drives smooth now. I either have a slightly bent rim or out-of-round tire. I just haven't gotten around to figuring out which.

Kyle, you gonna be ready to roll out of M'ville about 2?
yessir. counting the minutes.

My list are all checked off, tow pig and Jeep, think I will go get 2 new tires thrown on the trailer Monday and just be over it. It's going to be a long slow week.
-
Devil won the battle boys! I will be there riding saturday. I will try to take it easy too. ::) Hardtop is stayin on and putting the soft doors on. Bit cold for my co-pilot! If it was me, I would go with the bikini and no doors and my huntin clothes. Looking forward to the ride. I will be following or leading Doug down sat am! Doug, I am crashing at your place friday night... along with Briggs. ;D

For those that can bring a little fire wood, please do. I know that Steve from Florida said he's gonna bring some. Jimmy doesn't know it yet, but we're gonna throw some pine in his truck bed when he comes by my house.
By the way Jimmy, I like the new avatar. ;) I was at his place yesterday, that dog has really grown. She climbed up the chair I was in, stood on the back behind me and dangled her rope in front of my face trying to get me to play tug. :D
-
I am looking forward to this ride. I finally get to meet everyone. I plan on doing the next ride at River Rock for sure. When ever it comes up on the schedule again. It is only about 200 miles from me. Not sure I can make one every month but maybe every other month.
As I understand it we are meeting for Sat ride at 9am Alaloser time
which is 10am Ga time.
-
Correct on the time. If anyone is late, hit us up on channel 7.

LOL, pine wood in my truck bed? You are going to get it dirty! haha.

Not too much. I mean we've got plenty at the house (No central heating, that's how we heat the place) SO we can bring as much as we think we need. You don't have to pack around it. I'll throw some in the Jeep if I need to. I wasn't just gonna pack out the bed of your truck if that's how it came out {;-(}

It's funny, this weekend we had a show and our gear is at our bassist's house where we practice and I was pulling a trailer to haul it down to Atlanta and his back yard was NASTY... it looks like I went wheeling a little bit. I thought to myself "that looks vaguely familiar."

Well, I just wasted an hour of my employer's time on youtube searching "morrismountain". I think I'm in over my head... :o. I may be spending a lot of time at the bottom of the hill.
Accuweather.com says low 20's at night....mid 40's to 50 in the day. Lord help the fella that has to turn wrenches in a trail side repair. Probably won't need to make a saturday run for ice.
I'm still in. I forgot about picking up an hour at the alabama state line. I may end up arriving pretty early friday morning. I just don't know quite what to expect. I need to see a place like this to learn what I need to further my jeep capabilities. Also, I can camp this kind of weather and find some fun in it, but I wouldn't blame anybody for having second thoughts.
(edit to make clear...Some of the youtube stuff I was watching was more than I can do. But I'm looking forward to this weekend. I spent a bunch of time and money to get to this point with this darn "car hobby". If I knew some of you better, I could tell you about how people I love kept needing my jeep weekends the past couple years. I've been waiting for a trail ride/campout like this.)
-
Steve, you will be suprised at how much trail is there that a stock jeep could do. Much less what a rig like yours can do. There is bypass for everything. Most videos are of a small portion of obstacles that are INSANE. I wont be doing those my self.
It will be cold, no doubt about it. But if its dry we cant ask for much more :) I think a few guys are going to arrive early on Friday. Get set up, check the place out, people will start showing up before you know it. I am just mad I wont get there in time to ride Friday.
-
Don't worry Steve. I am in the same boat. I am trusting MATT, DOUG, ADAM and I almost said BEN not to steer me wrong... hahahah.. These guys won't steer you wrong ... I HOPE ... Any ways, as long as there are by passes we will be okay. I have to drive mine home 400 miles like you. Don't ever be scared to say no, maybe, strap, or winch.. It will be fun... {letseat} {popcorn}

Guys there is stuff for bone stock 4x4s to do there, don't worry about it.

No I haven't forgotten what that looks like, but it wasn't that nasty either.
Yep, Daniel stuck. Nothin new there. :D
What are you talking about? It's not like I get stuck everytime I get in my truck. Only when it's wet and the Bighorns have got some age and miles on 'em... and the river sand sinks me... and when the mudhole has been rutted out... (I think that's it)

Anybody interested in a little night ride on Friday night? Maybe plot out the trails for the big Saturday ride...

Maybe. I'm still not sure what time I will get there Friday. I ordered some parts today and I'm hoping they will be in Thursday. If they show Thursday, I'll leave early Friday. Could be any time Friday. I'll know more tomorrow.

-
Not to be mr follow the rules but you might want to check on the night ride thing. I know at one time it was not allowed because of the surrounding residential properties and the noise/lights of the 4x4's.

This should be fun. I bet Mike will change his mind. ;)

well, I need another post here to build up my total count.
The morris mountain web page says primitive camping. That's fine, what ever that entails. Are there any water spigots, or electrical outlets, or picnic tables, or rusty grills, or pole dancers? Or is it just a dedicated spot on the property to park and pitch a tent.
Do we few who are brave enough to camp share a common fire pit and circle the wagons? None of this is really important, but I was just wondering.
I picked up a load of hardwood and I just wondered what else I might want to cram into the back of my jeep for this party. I don't think the beer can get colder in a cooler of ice than it will be just sitting on the ground...Make sure you have a good battery in your vehicle. I carry cables if we need them.

We definitely share a pit. So we can tell lies around it. If there is no grille I will be bringing one, cause me and Adam are going to be frying you guys a burger on Sat. I am not quite sure about water and electric. I didnt camp there last time, I went.
...and there are tons of skinny pines for urdaddyjeep to dance around {hooters} {hooters} {salute}

There are bathrooms and water there. I can't remember if there are showers (I never used them if there are :D) but I'm fairly certain there are showers there.
There is electricity, but someone will have to clarify on that situation because I never used that either. Livingston hooked his trailer up to it last year, though. Maybe he can chime in on that. I do remember a few extension cords ::)
Hanging out and goofing off around one big fire after dinner is th best part of the trip! {toast}
Thanks for bringing fire wood! And if anybody else can get there hands on some, please bring it :)

Officially there is no water and elect. Last time I tapped into an outlet over by the carport area at the edge of the camping field. There's water there also. I can't remember how many circuits they had for the electricity. We kept popping the breaker last year with my camper and tent heaters hooked up.

How muddy is it going to be?
if it stays dry (no rain around anniston) this should be decent. Not super dusty because of the rain last week and MM doesn't seem to dry out super quick but it shouldn't be so muddy it cakes up the tires. So far the 10 day for Anniston just shows cold and sunny, no rain.

So I woke up this morning to an email from one of the girls that I was going camping with. "Hey, can we go some other weekend since it is going to be so cold?!" pansy. If she doesn't go, the other Jeep won't be there which kills most of my off road fun. So I figure I'll come pester you guys over here some more.
{peek} Ok because I'm a wuss... Since, I still don't have rocker guards, I'm still nervous about the whole body damage thing. It was said that a stock JK can handle enough there to have fun? I wouldn't mind doing the stuff that I can handle and watch the big boys playing on the bigger stuff from the bypasses. Who else is going close to stock so I don't feel like too much of a puss. I know of Jerm, but only on Sat... I'd be at all of it. Mind, this all hinges on the girls actually wussing out.
-
Kyle, Rowingfish87, is in a pretty much stock TJ on 31s. And there are plenty of smaller guys that don't wanna mess up their stuff either. You will be fine. If you wanna try some hard stuff just let us know and we'll spot for you, but no body is gonna make you try anything. {toast}
Glad to hear you're coming!
Man, we've got a big group this weekend! This is gonna be awesome! :)

Come along anyway! You will be fine in stock form. there are a few smaller guys going so don't worry about it! We will do our best to keep you out of trouble. Non of us want to damage our rigs so just bring it! ;) We will get you through it! Oh, I will be down fri night with Briggs boys!!! {toast}
-
Hopefully be coming. But it is good to hear there are going to be at least a couple other smaller Jeeps.
Is it bad that I want the other girl to wuss out? But shh, don't tell the GF that. ;D

I'm driving a JK so that kind of throws a wrench in the works because of the bolt pattern. Thanks for the offer though. {toast} I'll just steal Jerm's spare. Shouldn't need to since they should be in today or tomorrow at the latest. Come Sunday evening I thought to myself 'Oh, Morris Mountain is THIS weekend...****' and 255/75/17 isn't exactly the most widely carried tire size in the world...

If anybody has any questions while we're there, about anything, don't hesitate to ask. We go to these places to learn and have a great time. For instance, everybody is gonna need to air down their tires a little before we hit the trails. That gives you more traction. Myself and others will gladly show anybody how to do that. And there are bypasses for everything, so if there is something that looks a little nasty that some of the guys are trying, and you don't wanna try it, you don't have to.
While we're on the trails if there's any questions about techniques or equipment that someone is using, ask us {toast} That's the best way to become more knowledgeable about this stuff, and plus, most of the guys like talking about their rigs anyways ;D
This is gonna be a great weekend guys! You can't ask for much more than dry ground when you're wheeling at this place. I can't wait! Just 2 more days til Friday {letseat}
-
I'm getting pretty excited about this now. It took a week or so, but I think it's finally hit. This should be quite a fun little trip.

Woo! Tires are in, off to go get them mounted! ;D

I have 4 basically new SR/As that you know you want to buy whether they fit or not.

So I woke up this morning to an email from one of the girls that I was going camping with. "Hey, can we go some other weekend since it is going to be so cold?!" pansy. If she doesn't go, the other Jeep won't be there which kills most of my off road fun. So I figure I'll come pester you guys over here some more.
{peek} Ok because I'm a wuss... Since, I still don't have rocker guards, I'm still nervous about the whole body damage thing. It was said that a stock JK can handle enough there to have fun? I wouldn't mind doing the stuff that I can handle and watch the big boys playing on the bigger stuff from the bypasses. Who else is going close to stock so I don't feel like too much of a puss. I know of Jerm, but only on Sat... I'd be at all of it. Mind, this all hinges on the girls actually wussing out.
Sam, Kyle, Jerm, me and few others. You will be fine there. Lots of smaller rigs to ride with and you can make all the bypasses. Come on out. BTW i will make you a good deal on some sliders if you want me to bring them. Smittybilt SRC rockers.

Were we still gonna try and take a look at those sliders?

there are plenty of guys that will have them so if you need one there will be one to borrow.
-
We got tree savers so youll be fine. Like Will said, dont be afraid to ask any questions we dont laugh and poke fun. There will be several first timers there.
I am looking forward to this weekend. I got to get my stuff packed though.
-
That's what I figured. Thanks. I'm not completely new, but still new enough.
Those sliders are for a TJ right?
-
Yep

Lame. ;D

Ah crap guess I better get moving on my school work so I can go Saturday. Don't worry about body damage. I won't be extreme out there, would hate to hurt my trade in value.... If I do make it I'll have to leave probably by 4 at the latest and that's GA time
-
EXCITEMENT IS BUILDING BOYS!! LESS THAN 2 DAYS!!! Jerm, I am leaving at 4:30 to head back home AL time. We can follow if you want? Just lookin forward to a new trail and getting my Jeep back on the rocks! Then the next time we ride I will have the 4.88s installed! Oh man, can you say crawl boys!! {toast}
-
If I go we have to run the booze cruise trail! Except someone will probably have to pull me out of the water hole at the start of the trail... The belly might just be a little to long and low to make it.

Amost here. You little guys don't sweat it. There'll be plenty of fun stuff to do. Not sure how crazy I'm gonna get. I'll probably be running with no sway bars.
-
Mike, you always seem to say that! Then you go 2 wheelin it! ;D
-
im confused....I might run with out sway bars to if I decide to get crazy :D
BOOZE CRUISE is great. That hole was kinda deep, I remember working it.
-
Another great video starring one of ours too!
-
Great video.
-
Wednesday (5 classes, all in a row with no lunch) is over and now I just have to cruise to the weekend!
-
I don't know about you guys... but I'm ready for some wheelin {toast}
-
I watched a ton of video on youtube today. I like to have a heads up on where I am headin!
-
I have to work tomorrow (thursday, normal day) and then I'm off until Tuesday. I plan to leave later in the evening and take my time. I just read it's supposed to be 10 degrees before daylight friday. I might be sitting in a waffle house for a while.
The last few nights, I've been pulling gear out and building a pile in the garage. Usually when I've loaded up to run up to the local forest, all I need is my tool bag and a small cooler. The woods here are just soft sand and the chances of snapping an axle or contol arm bracket are not great. And if I were to have any serious trouble, I have friends only an hour away. I swap my doors here at home and just run the canvas half doors. If I camp, I often just string a tarp and camp minimal. I took my rear seat out not long after I purchased the jeep, so I don't have any problems with the few things I like to take with me.
This trip is a little different. I planned on trying to bird dog some firewood after I arrive in Alabama, but I'm betting since it's so cold, everybody up there will be looking for wood. So I bought a good size load of oak and hickory here in town. If I see someone selling split wood up there, I might get some more. But at least now I know I can get a fire going friday while I wait for the headliners to show up. And since this is a lot farther away, I'm going to leave my full doors on for the interstate and swap them when I get to the site. And since the trail rides appear to be a little tougher....and because it's gonna be colder that an polar bear's ass, I have all this stuff piled up in the garage that I think I "might" like to have with me. I don't think I can get it all in the jeep.... :P
I'm putting the beer and the fire wood in first, and then whatever else fits is what I'm bringing.

hey Steve they have trees here.... and trees fall all the time....

Good to pack important things first! As for the rest. Bring what you want but with all of us we will have whatever is missing! We come pretty prepared! I have a small stack of wood that has been drying for a year so it should burn. Gonna be cold but I think it will be no window, which is a major plus!!
-
wished my rig was ready :-\..
hope ya'll have a good time & stay warm.. its going to be awful cold this weekend....
I have several big loads of dry seasoned fire wood on the lot & ready to go if anyone local needs any to take with them.. will give forum members the family discount..lol ;D

You are close to me. I am in Winder. I need to come get some wood for home!

What is today? Thursday? Damn... Really REALLY want to play with the new tires.
Also, could I by chance use someone's camp stove while we're there? I'll bring my own propane tank, of course. Steph hasn't used her stove in a while and it might not be in working order...
-
I bet Mike will be the only one with a stove. I could bring my pocket rocket but it is a bit small for anything big.

I am bringing a grill, what you plan on cooking?
There better be a fire waiting on me when I show up fri. :D
Ive been in morris mode for days. Daniel we got to get the stuff packed tonight. You realize that right.
-
I don't really know yet. I just want a nice hot meal for dinner if it's going to be nice and cold. If anyone would be interested I could cook up some spaghetti en mass.
Oh, does Morris Mountain have places to pull off the sides of the trails? I'm going to try and bring the old video camera since I don't have any video of my Jeep and I might as well just record everything. lol
-
{letseat} sOUNDS GREAT GUYS! I will be there fri night bout 8 or sooner. Hopefully! I will have all my cameras. Never know who is gonna sleep in a creek or somethin. ;)
-
We are feeding everyone Saturday. So just bring an empty gut and some chips if you want. ;)

dang it! I will be gone by 4:30. Raincheck!

Let's update the list in check in with arrival and departure times. I have to wait for a part to arrive UPS tomorrow before I leave. If it arrives early, I'm gonna throw it on before I leave. If not, I'll bring it with me for a field project. It will prolly take about an hour to install. I don't want to leave here later than 1:00, so if it ain't here yet, too bad.
For you guys arriving before me. Try to set up camp within 100 feet or so of the pavilion and save me a somewhat level spot for my campa please. {toast}
Estimated Arrival --- Friday 4:00 PM
Departure --- Sunday night

this is a chatty group...425 posts in this topic so far. I'm looking forward to this event. I don't think I've ever played outdoors when it's 15 degrees. Every one at work says this show won't go on. I'm really kind of surprised myself that most or all of you haven't pulled out. I know you aren't moving forward just because fellas like me want to attend, but if it matters....I'll take my chances and if we all feel it's too cold to survive, no harm done. I sound brave while I'm here in my warm office.
I'll have a fire going long before dark friday. I think I have enough wood to last the first night, but the fire will have to be pretty big to make a dent in the temperature around the fire ring. Depends on any wind or not. I might have a beer or two before anyone gets there.
I haven't gotten to adding a winch yet. I want a winch bumper and a few other things first. I own a hi-lift jack, but it takes up a lot of room in the jeep. I never needed it on the orlando club rides, so I started leaving it at home. I also carry a good bottle jack for changing tires, etc. Do I need to have my own hi-lift on the trail with you guys? Do they get used much on these kind of trails? I could leave it home otherwise. I'll get it in the jeep if you prefer I have my own this weekend.
-
Plenty of people will have a high lift if needed. That's the beauty of riding with a good group. Chances are that if you need something, five other people will have what you need.
Don't sweat the cold. Just make sure you have plenty of warm clothes and blankets. The fire can always get bigger. You just need to make sure you will be warm sleeping or you won't sleep much. Wind and rain would make it much worse.
-
okay, thanks mr. livingston. I'll decide tonight when I pack the jeep.
I'll probably/almost certainly be there friday moring. I'm prepared to stay as long as the party lasts, but I might leave sunday evening.
-
Overpack for the conditions! I can't stress that enough for the cold! Walmart has handwarmers and foot warmers on sale! ;)
-
folks can say what they want about the cold but I say keep your feet and hands warm and you are ok. Your body will keep the core warm and sacrafice the limbs for it. Don't get your clothes wet since water tends to kill the insulation of most clothes.
I'll be study study study tonight boys. I got A lot of school work to cover first. I need to be there to see how bad Daniel gets stuck this trip
-
man, so i have to work sunday afternoon so i will have to leave alabama sunday morning by 9am (ga time). oh well at least i'll get to ride friday night (once I get my jks discos installed, thanks jimmy) and all day saturday.

We are going to have way too much fun to worry about the cold. This ride is going on rain or shine, cold or hot.
Im ready to get in the Jeep and leave now :D

Thanks for the tip Ben, I'm gonna pick up some of those hand and foot warmers.
Camper, I have a high lift on my tire carrier that anyone is more than welcome to use when needed. Leave yours at home if it's killing your packing. Throw some extra blankets in there instead ;)
And someone mentioned pulling to the side of the trail; there will be a lot of stop and go, but still enough riding to see the whole place. There will be plenty of opportunities to grab the video camera and watch some of the big guys do some crazy crawling.
Can't wait guys! :)

My wife is/was generally that way too. She hauled her own pack up the AT approach trail from amicalola falls park to the plaque on springer mountain, multi-day hikes in shining rock wilderness, cohutta wilderness, 4 days rim to rim in the grand canyon, and other hikes. She had fun with the jeep liberty in Moab. But she's not been much fun lately with the TJ and the money I want to spend.
I didn't invite her to this weekend's showdown....in case I need to rent a u-haul and pull the jeep home... ;D

Sorry to bother all you guys. I know you are all busy getting ready for your trip but, What would be the best time for those of us who are arriving on Sat morning to be at the park? I don't want to get there too early and wake anyone up from their sleeP.

I don't want to miss anything...

I can't speak for everyone but I get up early every day so I'm sure I'll be up Sat AM when you get there.
Does anyone have a big bottle/can of Coleman fuel? I just remembered when I was going through my stuff that we inherited this old school Coleman heater. I was just at Dick's and could've gotten some but didn't think about it and I don't know if I'll be able to get out again tonight. If anyone has some they want to bring, please do. I have no idea how much heat the thing puts out but I'm sure we'll take all we can get.

Please do wake me up. Make sure I am not dead. Early as you want. I will be up around 8:00ish GA time im sure. we are going to roll out 9:00 AL time or 10:00 GA time.

Thanks for the input,
I am staying about 40 miles away in a nice warm bed with a fireplace. I will probably leave there around 8am Ga time. I guess I will see you guys around 9:00 am Ga time.. which will be 8am your time. That will give me time to stretch the legs, check the place out and air down for the ride.

Well awaiting an email from the professor of my business class but he just pretty much announced our work for the week is cancelled since the books are on back order! Guess I got no reason not to be there now. So see you there at 10 a.m. GA time to wheel and head back to GA at or before 4 p.m. (GA time).
Ben said it perfect, over pack! Packing to much is fine, not packing enough when it gets into the teens at night SUCKS. I will be bringing enough stuff to stay the night. Never know what might happen and better to be ready.
-
We'll be leaving as soon as Lizzy gets home from work, so 6pm at the very latest. So...
Arriving ~8pm Friday
Departing ~10am Sunday
I've still yet to install my hockey-puck-bumpstops, so I might have to find a place to flex/measure/bumpstop when I get there and let em set over night. ;)

Sounds good. I've gotta fiddle with my bumpstops a little more also.
-
got most of my stuff settin in a pile in my room waiting to go in the jeep tomorrow morning!!!
-
yea... I got lizzy to pack her stuff tonight so I can load the jeep before she gets home. that way we'll just jump in and go tomorrow.
I'm ready to be there!
-
I thought I would check in... leaving home at 800am. stopping in carrollton ga for the night to sleep in a warm bed.. see you guys sat am around 9am ga time..
-
Sitting at work, watching the clock. Me, Adam, Daniel should be on the road by 3:00 I wanna get to the other side of atlanta before Fri afternoon rush hour. We will be there between 5:00-6:00.
-
about to head out.....I've got around 25 paper plates, a couple of big trash bags, and some paper towels. I plan to fill up close to MM and I'm gonna grab a couple of bags of chips for Sat night.
Apparently they weren't joking about the forecast, it's freakin' cold! See y'all there....
-
Yeah man.. it's gonna be cold! I know it was cold yesterday at like 6:00 changing my oil and brakes, and the sun was still out a bit. The wind really isn't helping, but... it's gonna be good. Big enough fire, heaters in the rigs.. should be fun.
-

Are we still planning on meeting at MU? 'Cause I get off at 3, so it'll take me a minute to back track to Lawrenceville from Norcross. It shouldn't be long though I think I can make it to Sugarloaf in like 15-20 minutes and should be there shortly.
-
Today is a glorious day boys! Ready to be cold? I should be rollin in around 8 if I can get through the ATL without shooting somebody! Got to stop over at Mikes to get some parts for him to put on the Jeep tonight. If anybody needs anything let me know as I will be one of the last guys in probably. Also, Will, Jimmy, don't forget my speedo gear!
-
You fellas stay warm out there. Enough folks got my number so if something is needed give me a ring. I'll be there in the morning. Kinds wish I could camp tonight but just wont happen.
-
I'm going to storage to get our camping stuff in a bit--do we need an extra camp stove? grill? I already bought hot-dogs/chips yesterday before I saw ya'll were cooking for us saturday night. Should I still bring em?
-
no we have 40 burgers and 60 dogs unless you feel that will not be enough
-
You can make me one tonight seeing I will be gone b4 dinner tommorrow. ;)
-
You people that are camping in a tent tonight are f'n nutz!
Is anyone else leaving for MM tomorrow morning? I am planning on getting to the park around 8 AM CST tomorrow morning. I think my neighbor is going to ride with me but RooB may not make it.
-
I think there are quite a few... Mark, Glen, Mike D, Jerm. All should be there about the same time. Hookup!
-
Ok, do we need to look at splitting the group for sat ride? We have a real good mix of built and stocker rigs along this time. Does not matter to me if we are in a long line if there are enough bypasses that we can all make. Just a thought. ;) I would hate to spend the day tugging and waiting. Alot of us are in for a day ride only so I am sure we all want to see everything we can. 24 rigs on count so far!!!! Great!!!!
-
We will be fine here. LOTS OF BYPASSES. I dont want to be waiting all day for the big guys to try everything :D
Seriously though I am sure we can but most of the day we will probably be fine in one group and we can split where needed.
-
we should be fine in one group. There might be some standing around but that is part of watching. Most of it has a dedicated trail and then the "spider trails" are the obstacles. And dont hate on us stocker guys {nln}
-
That is what I wanted to hear! No problem with a big group but we all have had the traffic blues on trails b4. ;)
-
My offer still stands about meeting up with anyone that wants to, hit a WaHo, and get there between 800 and 830am.
It takes what 1.5 hours from the center of Atlanta?

lol, Steph is going to love me for this. Every time I think about what time I need to leave I move it up 15-20 minutes. She has her friend's 21st Birthday party to go to tonight. She's not gonna be a happy camper when I wake her up at 630-7. ;D
-
That is what I wanted to hear! No problem with a big group but we all have had the traffic blues on trails b4. ;)
Naw if it gets to bad we can split up and ill lead the little group around again or someone else can. I mean I have been there a few times so I drive around with an idea of knowing where I am going.
-
Dewild will be at my house tonight. I will keep him dry the best I can ;D. We will wake you guys up in the morning!!! Stay warm, I know Livingston has the camper. Thats not camping!!!!LOL!!
-

There is a large mudhole he can fall in Sat. So if you can keep him "dry" until then. We should have some entertainment.
-
i think i will be dry ths trip, since traci and neil wont be trying to push me in this time.... all i have to say is if you punks are sleeping when we roll in its on like donkey kong... i will have a few things to get even with a few of you...

-

-
man i bet it is cold there this morning! ;D They are talking about rain/snow tonight...
Cold probably doesn't begin to explain what the tent guys experienced last night...
Hopefully they will be thawed out by the time I get there..
Leaving Carrollton at 8am.. should be there by 8am Bama time. can't wait.. Hope I have enough clothes on.. hahaha..
Mike

MORRIS MOUNTAIN PHOTOS>>>>>
Sorry, this is all i got....

-
Awesome,..
Man I love that rear steer buggy, who's rig was that?
-
it was a good ride today. Sad to say but some folks did damage but that is part of the game. It was good to see everyone again, meet the new folks and I hope everyone had a good time.
Lets remember when in doubt in the mud.... just get in the ruts and go!
-
I almost forgot..... Who won the raffle...????
What raffle??? hahahahahah
-
Actually last night wasn't too bad, but this morning... man... that was cold! It was fun though.
Oh, and the hamburgers and hotdogs were awesome! Thanks for cooking those, again.
-
I thought about the Raffle on the way home. It was great to meet the rest of the crowd today. We had a blast, especially when we went back out before dark and rode rocks instead of mud. I think mud is GAY, and who led us through the mud.
-
Made it home a bit ago and went to take a shower using the shampoo that I brought and sat in my truck all day....and it was frozen. I kind of wish I had stuck around to ride tomorrow like I planned, but it was just too damn miserable last night. It was nice meeting all the new guys. Thanks for the burgers and dogs, fellas.
Oh, and this was my first trip trailering the Jeep.....and my first trip not breaking anything. Ironic, eh?
-
I thought about the Raffle on the way home. It was great to meet the rest of the crowd today. We had a blast, especially when we went back out before dark and rode rocks instead of mud. I think mud is GAY, and who led us through the mud.
I wish I had tagged along with you guys after the mud run... Oh well it was all fun.... Can't wait until nexttime..

We hit some really nice kind of nasty rock climbs when Ben,Doug Seth and I went back out. Seth's girlfriend shot some pictures can't wait to see them. I will post my pictures later. I have a few Rum & Cokes I need to hammer down.
-
Awesome,..
Man I love that rear steer buggy, who's rig was that?
I dont know who bought it but that thing is bad to the bone
-
Well, this trip was great. We had some ups and some downs, but overall this was just an awesome ride. Glad all the new people made it out. Hope everyone had a good time, stayed warm enough (I didnt) and enjoyed the food. Calvin & Lizzy won the raffle. Hard to get everyone together for that. I didnt get as many pictures as I should have.
My jeep sucks until I get tires, that all I got to say there.
BTW everybody that showed this weekend should have a new trail badge under there profile. Lets see who gets all 12 for 2009 ;)
Also if anyoned picked up a Vegum hockey puck around the rock garden it belongs to me!
The Amp buggy belongs to Brian. We had three new members in buggies too, they were all super nice rigs.
-
I had to leave early on Saturday and get back for my sister's pageant. I just got in and it's midnight. Had an awesome time as always guys! except Friday night.... my lord it was cold!!! The mud sucked, but after the whole Jeep is coated you can kind of have fun in it. At least we got plenty of stuck of the month candidate pics {letseat}
I love 35s ;D My 8.8 didn't hang up once.
Hey Matt, did they rear driveshaft give you any vibs?
Another great ride guys. Let's keep 'em coming! But we can ditch thta whole 12 degree thing at Morris Mountain. :o
One more thing guys, Kyle's dog, Razz, was hit and killed by a truck on Henry Davis Road that runs mext to the park on Friday night. We burried her there that night. Kyle took it like a champ, but I know that he really loved that dog.
Kyle, I'm sorry man. Let us know if there's anything we can do. And for the rest of GATR, this guy is gonna need a new tire since he shlashed a sidewall today. He has 31x10.5x15 Maxxis Buckshots. So be on the lookout, or for any good deals on tires. I'm sure he's gonna be looking for some soon.
-
We made it back about 6 this evening, and I think I've just about thawed out now. We had a great time wheelin with ya'll this weekend... it was great to meet everyone and put names with faces. I'll put up our pictures tomorrow--we've got a lot, and they're pretty high-res. At any rate, had an awesome time, and can't wait till next time.
P.S. I hate mud.
-
At least we got plenty of stuck of the month candidate pics
I think the giant cluster fuck of stuck Jeeps should be the stuck of the month, lol.
-
had a blast this weekend, fellas. I realized just before I left last night that I bent my tie rod pretty good. Add that to a dented rear passenger corner and a flat bumper cap getting ripped off and I've got some things to remember MM by ;D.
Nice meeting those of you that I met for the first time, and good to finally get back out with the club. My condolences also go out to Kyle, sorry that happened, man.
-
Well it was a fun Saturday. No damage here so all and all it was a great Saturday.
Thanks for the hot dogs and hamburgers!
We hit some really nice kind of nasty rock climbs when Ben,Doug Seth and I went back out. Seth's girlfriend shot some pictures can't wait to see them. I will post my pictures later. I have a few Rum & Cokes I need to hammer down.
I thought we went over this, I'm T.J. ::) Old people... Seth (Sasquatch) is the one with the new kid. Seth's wife might not like finding out about this girlfriend either.
-

OUCH! Seth with the Hummer was also stuck while all this happened I think. I am suprised but I remember everybodys names out there. I guess I am a loser!
Any rate. I am kinda disappointed in the jeep and not getting much pictures. No noticeable vibes from the driveshaft, but the muffler rattle is pretty annoying. I got to get some tires in a bad way.
-
we need pics! I'm an idiot and forgot a camera....
-
we need pics! I'm an idiot and forgot a camera....
x2 on both accounts. Has anyone talked to Mike or G today?
-
I am back in. Got home around 9 after getting my daughter from grandmas. I would have posted last night but I am still beat. That was a long ride home. No serious damage on my rig other than slashing a tire on destabilizer right b4 heading home. >:( >:( and of course it was the newer tire I just replaced from tellico a few months back! Dang it! It was interesting having a 10.50 and a 12.50 rear tire on the way home. Swayed a bit. :D I have pics but no freakin cord. My wife has the other camera with her so once she is home I will swap cards over and post. Did anybody get pics of me doing the good, bad or ugly?? Oh yeah, Will... your trail leading privelages have been revoked! Man, what a cluster F!!! We found some great trails on the GOOD side of the mountain late in the day. Lots of great rocky climbs! I can't wait to see some pics!!! As always I had a blast and thanks to MikeL for the room in the camper! ;)
-
I need pics to look at!

-
so TJ how did you like the new tires? What are they? I never got a good look.
-
BFG KMs. They are the ones with the slightly different mid section. Looked real good! Great for the mud! >:(
-
well I have claimed my apartment parking space again. I never washed the Jeep and it lightly rained last night/this morning so the mud got just wet enough to fall off but not wash away ;D
-
Great pics TJ!
Hey Ben, I had Mike L.'s camera when we were on Good, Bad and the Ugly and got pictures of pretty much everybody coming up. And sorry about the tire man :-\
And to your trail leading comment... >:( :D I won't ever go to that side of the Mountain again, unless they do something about those creek crossings. That was ridiculous :o
-
Will, that is an understatement to say the least! ;)
-
x2. Before long if you dont have 37's you wont be going to the other side on park. They have gotten a lot worse since the first time I went there. I think they just pushed dirt over the area to "fix it". I remember there use to be tires in the ground that you could see clearly at the second crossing (not the bridge one) but now the only part I could see of any of the tires was a little bit of sidewall in one of the ruts.
-
Still can't believe you got over that stuff! How much mud is shoved into that belly skid? ;D
-
This is steve safe at home. Left the park about dark when it looked like it was going to sleet/rain....and most everyone had left or were about to. It rained lightly off and on from the time I left till I got to florida. It never amounted to anything except make the road slick. Drove all the way to first florida rest stop, closed my eyes for about two hours, got home about 7:30 am.
I dumped all my gear in the garage and started hosing the mud off. I carried home a lot of orange alabama mud underneath. I have a slightly bent tie rod. It's a ZJ solid bar rod and I can probably straighten it. I didn't notice it driving, so it's not bad. That's my only damage. I didn't wash the jeep or clean up the inside or put the camping gear away....I'm gonna take a long nap.
I had a great time. Thanks again for allowing me to join y'all. I had a camera but I never got around to taking pictures. That's a little unusual for me, but I was having fun and got lazy about pictures. I had expected another day of rides, but I'm not surprised that we wrapped up when the weather started to change. I wouldn't have wanted to pack up wet anyway. And I didn't mind missing another cold night in the tent. The experience was what I was after and I have some better idea of what's next for my jeep.
Everyone was new to me, and it was too much to remember everyone's name the first go around. Thanks to Sam and Mike L for getting me started friday. I spent some time with a few more and spoke to others when we were killing time. Everyone was friendly, I was able to drive home with no damage, only got stuck twice....so it was worth going.
-
Still can't believe you got over that stuff! How much mud is shoved into that belly skid? ;D
not real sure! I will have to get under there soon to look for any damage. I as usual bumped and bounced around most of the day on the skids. I have to admit it has been fun seeing what a jeep can do stock and I have been surprised more than once by it.
Then MikeL let me drive his Jeep back through the mud pit area and there was no comparison. Where I had to gas it, rear locked and bumped and bounced around his Jeep cruised right through, little gas, unlocked and was like a Cadillac going over the bumps. Very jealous of his Jeep and the work he has put into it.
-
Camper, it was a good trip! Nice to meet you and we will camp soon... all of us! But when it's a bit warmer, 40's for the low? ;D Glad you had no major problems and that you had fun!
Jerm, Mike really can't drive... it's his Jeep. :D
-
Glad you had a good time, Steve! Hopefully you can join us again.
Jerm, Mike really can't drive... it's his Jeep. :D
Uh oh :o
-
Will, you know it's true! :D
-
well after I left my Jeep there G and I headed back to his place where the wifes were waiting for us... had some good food and COLD beer to help me drown my sorrows but had to headback to MM this morning to trailer it home... in the morning I take it to the dealership to see if they will fix it... for their own good I hope so... cause I would hate to lose my mind on a Monday morning... I will let you all know what happens....
oh and by the way... Glen needs either will or jimmy to dig that dead cat out of his ass.. do to his very bad gas that he blamed on Casper...
-
Me? I'm not in that business! Talk to Will.
-
oh and it was great to meet all of those that i havent met and those that i have met it was great to see you again... Mark i got something for you and MikeL got something for you too... To all those that helped me thank you sooo much.. to those that offered me help thanks and to those that laughed at me {nln1} ;D just wished i could of had the chance for you all to laugh at me and tell me to get lockers when i would have tried the GBU.. but maybe next time you guys will get that chance...
-
good luck with the stealership
-
are you guys ready to see my MM experience here you go
(http://i469.photobucket.com/albums/rr59/GMitts74/MM09/P1170192.jpg)

-
"I don't need no stinkin ring gear teeth"
;D Glad you made it home. Good luck at the dealership.
-
Yeah, good luck! Bring your forks in case it gets out of hand! :D
-
or your "butter knife" you used to air down with....
-
sorry if it seems like i hijacked any threads out there.. this is my first breakage that may cause big time $$$$ if the dealership doesnt back the warranty...

-
Hey everybody. Had another great time. Nice meeting all of you new guys. I'm loading pictures up right now.
Got some good pictures of Friday too. Even got some good video of Brian.
-

I havent really seen the details of what all you broke but if it's just the front ring gear you could have easily drove it home. What all was broken?
-
oh about 4 teeth on the big gear that you see when you take the diff cover off
-
Nobody rides with you fellas that knows how to work on cars? :D
-
Nobody rides with you fellas that knows how to work on cars? :D
Not sure about that.... :D
The cover didnt come off till most people were leaving.
-
I think we decided that due to the dealers already crappy warranty coverage that if he drove it home and did more damage they could attempt to say damage was caused by him driving home or something else stupid. That and no spare parts for the JK around...
-
That is true, it is under warranty and that is a totally different situation
He could have gotten back here and not told them he drove it though ;D
-

Man I am surprised they are covering it anyways! On the JK forum websites people get turned down all day on warranties due to lifts, tires, being OFF ROAD (yes a jeep gets turned down for being off road....)
-
well hey this topic is off topic and i started a thread for just that... the dealership in hawaii is the one that put all that stuff on it.. bought it that way {boohoo}
-
Had a good time too. Glad i stayed later. Got a lead on a new truck. Too bad nobody stayed until Sunday. We had a lot of fun shooting skeet and a bunch of other stuff. Randy got out the Barrett 50 cal and exploded a bowling ball. I'll post the video once it's uploaded. One of his friends brought a slow motion camera.
-
DANGIT MAN! I miss everything good.
HEY YALL WATCH THIS!
-
HEY YALL WATCH THIS!
Isn't that how the most fun things start out? Like violently shaking a can of Dr Thunder, throwing it up in the air and blasting it with a shotgun.....
-
I am glad that I finally got to meet some people on the forum
-
And show them how NOT to go thru mud! :D :D
-
only when a stock K5 is right were I need to be!!! >:(
-
I will never lead into mud again. That was a scaring experience :hlp
-

you dont have to worry about that will...no one will EVER follow you into mud again.
-
Or follow will anyway since he took us to the 8==D side of the mountain. {nln}
-
only when a stock K5 is right were I need to be!!! >:(
Yeah, he came haulin' balls right into that mudhole. Then he sat there... for a while. But we all lived, everything is fine.
-
You know if you would have gotten stuck on the other side like you almost did I would have left you there.
-
You know if you would have gotten stuck on the other side like you almost did I would have left you there.
I know that, which is why I wouldn't have asked for your help. But I wasn't getting stuck.
-
Yeah, you hit the skinny just right! :D
-
I finally got off my a$$ and unloaded my trailer today and rinsed mud for 2 hours. I hate mud, between my last 2 trips to MM my side yard is looking like Alabama Chert.
-
I am going to the .25 wash tonight after working out.... not looking forward to it. I knocked a lot of mud off the wheels and under the flares in the parking lot... How I love my apartment complex
-
I ended up spending way too much last time I went to a quarter wash. I don't know that I'll be doing that again. Are we still under water restrictions?
-
Well I spent about 15 minutes worth of quarters and got it most of the way clean. Sprayed the body off, got the suspension and wheels cleaned and all the dirt under the flares and around the axle area. I would need a lot of quarters to ever get all the mud of the skids and frame...
-
$12.00 for me at the quarter slots. I am sending a bill over to Wills place. ;) I hate mud!
-
$12.00 for me at the quarter slots. I am sending a bill over to Wills place. ;) I hate mud!
I wish I would have thought about Will repaying me, I would have done that myself. Hey Will don't worry about sending me money, just get me a free day at RR. Get me 2 free days and I will do all of trail 7, on second thought it aint worth that.
-
Yeah Mark, how bout it Will? A make Will cool again day at RR???????????
-
Yeah Mark, how bout it Will? A make Will cool again day at RR???????????
that, sir, would take years...of him supplying the beer for all of our rides.
-
Speaking of quarter car washes, are there any inside the perimeter/near downtown or around Tucker 285/Lavista? I found one on Google maps off of Gresham road and I20, I pulled up there last night with a pocket full of quarters but had to do a drive by. I'm pretty sure someone would have tried to car jack me within 2 minutes had I stopped there. I didn't want to have to show them how I roll with my daughter in the car!
If anyone knows of one near Grant Park, downtown, Little 5, Highlands, that would be great.
-
When I lived over in the Toco Hills area of Decatur I would use the one on N. Druid Hills a lot. It's right near the intersection with Briarcliff. It's right next door to Arby's.
-

Cool. I think I found another one. My sister says there is one on the corner of Memorial and Maynard terrace. It's probably only marginally safer than the first one I found though.
-
I meant to also say that I never felt unsafe at the carwash I mentioned. Good luck!
-
Digging up an old ride here. A buddy of mine went by the house and picked up the JK. Matt and Ben, you guys know when this might have happened. I am just glad I made it home from MM and wasn't Roy Munsoned like ole Dewild. JKS is getting some of my money I guess! :'( Add me to the carnage list!

Oh yea. Your on the list {hihi}

I think it might have happened when Tracy let me take it out in the snow, did he send you a picture of your right rear corner by chance. I thought I was going to get some Bondo and Krylon on it before you found it. I'll start running now and be real tired when I die. :'(

Don't lie, Mikey.

well i might have been there... but now i can give him shit about his breakage...

Holly Crap, you're lucky Glen. You would not want lose you track bar mount like that on the road. It must have just barely made it home. Looks like it broke where the factory welds attach it to the axle. Were you giving it hell out there or what? Now would be a good time to get the Poly Performance high steer. Just have that one welded back on and install the Poly Track bar relocation bracket around it. I reinforces the weak factory mounts.

I am shocked as well! Myself and Dewild drove all the way home from MM. I even had my draglink and alignment fixed before I left. It just happend is all I can tell. MikeL, I also figured the same thing. I was going to do JKS on front and rear as well. Dewild was the TC(truck Commander) so I put full blame on him. Mark, I kinda wish it was the corner you damaged. I want new ones anyways!! Thanks for the help guys! See you in 47 days >:(

Ben I think your right. There was all types of crap bending on the front of Glens Jeep. I figured he would have tweeked the tie rod first, but at least you made it home glen.
-
Thanks Matt! Tracy sure is lucky she took away my Credit Card {no}. I am having to write down what I want/need. I am up to 900$ now. I should have it fixed by the May ride. No worries. {toast}
-
yea yea blame me just cause i was the TC... just glad we made it back cause that could have been ugly doing 65...
-
Your right about that. I know the beer was good that night we got in!! MikeD, what is the May ride? I can't find it.
-
i think the may ride is the Jeep beach ride... but i know you want to do tellico or RR cause you will be in FL either the week before or after dont blame you on not waiting to make 2 trips down there..
-
Yeah, lets play it by ear. We can always rally up a few dudes and head to RR or even MM again. I will know more when I get boots on the ground in 47 days. I might take the wife on a vacation as well. {toast}
