looking frwrd to this.
Sorta the flip-of-the-scenario with Golden Mtn; it was a 1.5 hr drive for me but 4 hrs for most folks from home ( Georgia) ; this trip is less than 2 hrs for you Ga folks...I forgot tht BHam is 3.5 hr from me then the 1.5 hrs to the park, heh.
should be worth it ... you guys like this park, huh? I have never been...
Will be relaxing on a beach, eating MD steamed blue crabs and drinking beer. Y’all have a great ride.

It’s not terrible, just not what other parks have. I.E. hale, AOP, windrock, chocco ...... it is what it is. They’re functional.At least the hole is already dug to take a dump.the amities are ...... well rather shitty

what hotel is everyone who isn't camping staying at ?The best hotel options are in the Anniston/Oxford area. That's where I have typically stayed in the past. Lots of food options in that area as well.
I only ask because Cadence is comin with me on this ride and it might be more 'hospitable' for even a tough-cookie ,14 yr old like her.
For cheap folks, the America's Best, on the other side of I-20 (north of Morris) is a decent MOTEL. The owner is off-road friendly, and you can look at his Sami buggy, assuming he still has it.what hotel is everyone who isn't camping staying at ?The best hotel options are in the Anniston/Oxford area.

The last time I spoke to him, at his gas station, he said he's building a buggy for his son.For cheap folks, the America's Best, on the other side of I-20 (north of Morris) is a decent MOTEL.

it is just a lot to type but it comes-down to us having given my buddy back all of his high-end hiking gear we were using ; I would have to order myself one of those camp-stoves and cups bowls coffee brewer etc. To boil h20 we will have to start a brickette fire for oatmeal/coffee so that comes out to about same cost as the room. you guys know we arent beyond sleepin in the tent; I love camping but we both agreed this trip we might stay in hotel is all.
We will be leaving around 5 pm. Just in time for rush hour traffic. [slammin]Ugh, that sounds awful.
yup; I just found-out that I had assumed that when we took the truck we recently got ( & that is towin the Jeep) to the appointment she made at a body shop to fix a couple of things( place we bought it is paying for this) that it'd be more than ready by Friday ( we take it in on Tuesday); evidently, guy told the wife last month it was gonna take four days . She did not ell me this until ystrdy,Dude, body shops are notorious for not delivering on time...you better stay on their ass.
[wtf]
That uninteresting bit of info was posted since Chris asked what time some of us are arriving.
Now, I have no idea of the turn around time of this body shop. I cannot be missed since it is part of agreement, but I DO know that I have a u-haul to pickup as early as opening time on Friday morning .
I will ( hopefully) be there Friday afternoon sometime. If later I guess I will stay longer , thru Sun.

I know, man.
I have been boppin' along fully not considering this date co-inciding with this ride schedule and only when I was talkin to UHaul did wife remind me that " you know that body shop has the truck all week, right? "
I would reschedule but when we bought via Carvana , they let Customer assess before final signing ; we detected that rear bumper and some minor body scratches that my shrewd business minded wife made sure THEY paid to have repaired. The first date they had was this long after we got truck ( 2 months nearly?) so I cant resched.
I am going to have her hint/mention -tactfully - that she "may need to be going out of town" when she drops it off on Tues
morning.There is no way it can take four days for a rear fender-panel to have a little scuff painted & a replacement bumper installed....I hope.
srry, that was as short a detailing of that as I could muster. I use lots of words. [btt]

They should be paying for your rental. Just use the rental truck.
Sounds like GATR Fest. We still had a awesome time.
So, if I read it right, we have the entire park to ourselves?
https://www.iweathernet.com/total-rainfall-map-24-hours-to-72-hoursThe game starts at 3. Not gonna stay long, are ya?
Looking at the rainfall totals it doesn't look like Morris got too much rain. Should be just enough to tack things up. I haven't been in over two years so I'm excited. I am now probably only going to be there saturday but leave early enough to get home in time for the Dogs game. See you guys there . [slammin]
Looks like I’m out. Had the ok from the wife so I went to install my driveshaft from Bobby... and it’s too short. I already replaced the pinions with a generous amount of locktite and my impact isn’t budging them so I can’t just put my stock one back on. 4 wheel parts doesn’t have any in stock so unless @danny kinder has one banging around at Allsouth I’m SOLBooby strikes again

I have a spare one 38”
I wouldn’t drive on the highway but I’m sure you could wheel it. I can throw it in the Jeep and take it to Morris. Lemme know. I’m out early tomorrow morning. And won’t leave Austell until 5pm
Kirk, had a flat tire, that’s itTrailer, truck, or buggy?
