Heading up there to celebrate my birthday ( its actually on the 24 but its a teusday ). should be nice considering the weather has been good and it should be nice and dry.
-
That an invite? That's my anniversary weekend, so I wouldn't be able to go. I'm planning on going there Late October with a couple of friends if you want to go back then & show us around.
Take some pictures!
-
Sounds great, we plan on being there next weekend.
-
I'm in, if that was an invite. I may have some friends come along, if you don't mind.

Ill find out this weekend if its and open weekend for them or not. Don't think Tom would mind a few more customers but if its not I can bring one more rig with me and Dave can bring one with him, us being members. Will post more info throughout the week.

See, this is where my ignorance kicks in about ORV parks. Questions:
Does OPEN vs CLOSED weekends relate to non-members only?
If you are a member, does that mean you can go anytime?
How much is a typical membership, in dollars?
If you are a member, do you have to pay for a ride pass for the weekend or days you go there?
Are there areas of the park that are only open to members?
Thanks for any help in making me less ignorant.
-
According to their calendar, they are open to the public for the rest of September.

Membership for AOP is $400.00 from april to april as I understand it. (That would be about 8 trips to pay for said membership )
Tom was talking about opening up every weekend guess he started to do that. Sweet.
Basicly if you get a membership you don't have to ever pay to goto the park except for special events at a discounted rate. You can go whenever you want 24/7.
No special areas for members only but if you go during the week when its not open to the public you basicly have the park to yourself.
So with that being said and it being open weekends atm, this is an invitation to anyone else that wants to come out.

Awesome...I'm in for sure. Probably won't leave Atlanta until early Saturday morning due to work on Friday. I'll play it by ear incase I get out of work early. Thanks

Depending on how our plans are going, I might ride up there early Sunday morning for a day ride. What time do you plan on leaving?
-
Got out there yesterday for an impromptu trip. First time back since we went in March. That park is awesome and the trails were in great shape. Did some greens, blues and 3 blacks. Had a blast!
-
I can make out Sunday AM. Anyone else going to be there?
-
Ill be there just not sure when leaving but I'm game of course to ride around if the wife wants to stay.
-
My plans are to arrive Friday morning and leave the park around 3pm Saturday. Sorry i can not ride sunday.
-
I think I want to do this. I'd like another shot at this park with new cleats on Yonah //SLAMIN//
-
I'm still planning to go up early on Saturday. My departure time can be as late as 5pm on Sunday.
-
I'm thinking of going up Friday night and staying at the America's Best hotel. Ain't nothing special but it's a hot shower and clean bed and only 6 miles from adventure

Crap looks like rain Saturday and Sunday. I want to do this park but not wet

-
I swear I checked it around 4pm and it was going to rain on Sat and Sun, but now it is showing no rain on Sunday...I'll be there, if someone else is coming too.
-
Weather looks too wet for me, so I'm out. The little bit of videos I saw it looks like it could turn into a mud fest quick.

Well Im not going to be able to make it due to the fact that a climber of ours ( I work for a tree removal company ) demolished the corner of a house about an hour ago.... //CHAINSAW// Needless to say im pretty ticked off about it cause I have to clean up and fix his mess cause he no longer works for us. Sorry I wont be able to ride this weekend either..../bummed

If this rain does not move in I'll be loading up and heading out to Adventure. Just waiting on the weather reports

Wait, what happened? Was you there when it happened? If so, did you shoot the MF's?

No one was home when it happened. They kicked in the basement door for access. They got all of my guns, some tools, some jewelry, some video games, a Macbook Pro, some liquor, some old car stereos that I was going to offer to GATR members (oh well), and a few glass bowls (LOL). They didn't trash the place. Did about $10K of insurance claim damage...based on current estimate.
I'm securing the place now (physical, electronic, and monitoring) and guns will be on persons, once everyone is trained properly. I'm a fan of shotguns (with birdshot) in the bedrooms for house invasion protection since they are less likely to do through-and-through on the person or a wall, which could injure someone else.
I am wide open to suggestions on what to get, what to do, and who to use for services.

Did u have serial numbers on the guns?? Were they in a safe?? Well as far as the rest I would get a few cameras for the areas that u think they need them I have a friend I use to work with that does security systems

No serials...doh! Ya, video camera setup is coming. Security system is coming too...I haven't contacted anyone in that yet.

I hate a damn thief. I've put the word out around here you steal from me you don't need to worry about the police.
-
I hate a damn thief also!
It is kind of funny regarding what I consider worth taking and what a damn thief considers worth taking. The two things that really made me laugh (and scratch my head) were:
1) Taking the damn kitchen bowls. I mean, the same things are available at Goodwill for a few bucks. Sure, if you had nothing left to grab, take the bowls, but to not grab any of the TVs, DVD players, knives, etc...//WTF//
2) The stupid poker signs on the wall. At least they decided the bowls and alcohol were more important, but why take the signs off the wall if you aren't going to take them with you.
I know the person/people got spooked, because they left way too much stuff behind. I'm not sure if they were inside when I pulled up (no cars around though) and that spooked them, but something had to have gotten them. My suspicion is that it was some kids from the neighborhood behind my house and they were doing a relay event with the stuff. I really don't know. However, if it was the kids, I'm surprised they didn't take all of the alcohol...it just doesn't make any sense. The pieces of this puzzle do not fit together.

Shotguns are a good choice and easy to use. Skip the "I am going to chamber a round and the noise will scare them away" BS and have it loaded and ready to rock and roll. That noise could be nothing more than a warning to them to get their gun ready for a shoot out in your house... I have a Mossberg 500A with an 18" barrel and adjustable back stock so that my wife and I can both shoot it even though I am a full foot taller. Shorter the barrel the better as it is easier to move inside a house but make sure its still legal. I shoot a federal round, 00 buckshot (don't remember the # of pellets) but it has a tight pack with small spread and is what most agency's use in their shotguns.
Metal basement door for sure and go around to every door and replace the strike plate screws with much longer screws. I have seen some people use a metal plate to reinforce the area where the strike plate is to make kicking in a little more difficult. Make sure all your windows, including garage doors, have curtains over them. There is no need to advertise your not home. Also, make sure sliding glass doors/window locks cant be defeated by simply picking up or pushing in. If so figure a way to block them (like a metal rod or dial rods as stops). Last keep all bushes and stuff trimmed neatly. Don't give them a good hiding spot as cars pass by

I live out in the county on 7 acres with a long driveway and a big iron gate that requires a code to get in. If you knock on my door late at night and haven't called me first your not going to get a a nice welcome
