Title: Morris Mountain Sunday Nov 8th
Post by: Metro on November 03, 2009, 10:21:56 AM
Me and a buddy are planning to go to Morris Mountain on Sunday.  Anyone up for that action?  I haven't gotten to wheel since Mountain Side last July or whenever that was. 
 The plan is to be at the park around 9 AM on Sunday and ride til dark.  According to the calendar and forum on mmorv's website, it is an open ride weekend.

I'm gonna be home in Lagrange so it's only about an hour and 15 from me. My Jeep is down, but I may be able to talk my sister into taking her J-10 and we'll follow you guys around. She's been dying to wheel it. It's $15 for one day, right?

Looks like $20 for a single day.  No charge for passengers.  Yeah c'mon.

I was looking for your number in my phone to make sure I have it. It's under "Metro"   :D  I'll let you know in a couple of days. I've got a lot to get done when I come home this weekend, but shouldn't be too hard for us to get up there.

Yeah I think I have you filed under "South GA".   ;D   You can ride with me if you can catch a ride to Atlanta.  I'm pretty sure Marta doesn't make it that far South tho.

haha, it does not. I'll let you know in the next couple days. I know some guys with Wranglers in Lagrange too that I may be able to swindle into driving up there.

I'll throw another maybe in.  It's not a night game on Saturday so it shouldn't be too hard to wake up Sunday.

We need an early december ride. Turkey ride anyone?

It was a great day of wheeling.  The weather was the best part, it was a great day to be outside.  Neither me or Brian have a winch and Brian ended up bringing his two kids along so we didn't get too crazy.  Here are the pics I took:

I am definitely going to bring my duaghter to a ride soon.  I think she is getting to the age where she will enjoy it (4).

Neither of us had any body damage for the day, so that was good.  That rutted out muddy area we had such a hard time with back in Jan was completely fixed.  There were no ruts and it was completely dry.  Was it you and Kyle that sliced a tire there in that ice?

I got stuck trying to go up that same hill I tried to go up back Jan.  My back end slid around and I got wedged between two trees.  That's where we had to get the tow strap out.  

I really like Morris Mountain.  It has good trails with a wide range of difficulties and it's the closest park to me.  It's only about 80 miles from my house.

Notice the observance of no shave Nov, even though I drive a Hummer now.

And yes I could have taken out that tree behind me with no problems with my Thor bumper but I still couldn't get out of there because of the angle I was at and the tree on my front left.  A little tug and some wheel spin got me back into position though. ;D

Here's where Brian was when he was tugging on me, and his sone with the Airsoft AR:

Yeah he just got all of that in the last month or so.  His rig looks bad arse now.  I've been trying to get him to take it out for about a year now.
