    Over on EP there are some folks stirring up a trip to camp, hang out, and do some very light trail riding this coming weekend, October 16-17-18 in the Smokies. I guess the main focus is going to be checking out the Elk in the one area of the park. Some people are considering Pisgah and others...

    Yeah, we are down there a bunch because we have friends and family on Ono, Inerarity Point, and over in Fairhope. Back on July 4th we stayed at the state park in Gulf Shores instead of crashing with friends. It was crowded and kind of lame--and not on the bay/beach. When we head out of the...

    Sorry I missed out on CF and then got busy and didn't see the post about Amicalola. I have been fiddling with the AC on the 110 for ages and want to do something low stress like Amicalola as soon as I get it back together. I was going to head to the beach for the 14-16th but weather looks iffy...

    Bailed on Caney Fork to go to FL with friends. Did anyone from here go? Anything else up--maybe this weekend? Timmy where is the P38?

    oh, and where is the P38?

    Yeah, my wife and I did Caney Fork by ourselves last winter. It was fun and when we went it wasn't too challenging in the section we drove, just a nice trip. Would enjoy going with a group and trying something more technical. Will try to get free to join.

    Anything local-ish going on? Always looking for an excuse to wheel over the weekend around here. Did I see one of you guys riding in a green DII with lights, rack, lift and a girl at the Yellowhammer gas station off of 65 last week? I was down there in my red D90 and by the time I got parked...

    Amicalola: 1/31-2/1

    I'm reposting from the thread on expedition portal for anyone here who might be interested: So much has been going on with everyone's plans for this trip that I figured it would be prudent to pipe up about what I am going to be doing in case anyone else wants to roll in together. I will be...

    Sam C., If I remember correctly, most of the stuff we investigated was off of county road 600, which was a dirt road that we found while checking out some rental cabins. We also found a trail offf of dirt road 948. There wasn't anything too remarkable, although I enjoyed camping after we ran...

    Amicalola: 1/31-2/1

    Guess I am in for the weekend, probably with my wife riding shotgun. It will be good to actually meet some of the folks from on here face to face. Mike

    Bridging ladders?

    Hey, I gotta chime in on the Pillowtrack love-fest. Back in 2004 I was working for a fab company and got asked to fish around online and see if there was any interest in a bridging ladder design that they had come up with. Not being too savvy in the bulletin board department I jumped into a...

    Michaels, I'll PM you about the trip at the end of the month. I would be interested in pretty much any trail ride/camping trip that comes up in the future. I've ridden in a few places in AL--around Mentone, Bankhead, Talladega, around Coker, Grayrock, down near the beach in the Gulf Shores...

    Hey, Just saw the pics of the Amicalola trip. Where have you dudes been hiding? I got heavy into the Rover thing for a few years and then gradually got bored because I couldn't find people to ride with from around here. These days I mostly go camping with my wife in my '07 Nismo P/U--no...

    I will keep an eye on the boards but I can usually be reached on my goofy ol' aol e-mail account as mikenbama@aol.com. Would be fun to find some new folks to go riding and camping with this year. I think at the end of the month I am going to be tuna fishing over in LA but that isn't cast in...

    Hey, I don't check the boards much anymore but still do a good bit of ridin' and campin' around the south with friends or on my own with my wife. If something gets worked up that would include a low to medium stress ride and some camping I would be all for it. My D90 is now beat up enough that...

    Sorry that the wheeling was not more exciting for you guys, but glad that the dealership was treating you well. I am SOOOOOO interested in finding some Rover people to do short camping trips with, but so far I have not heard a lot of folks really "light up" about weekend trips. I bet it isn't...

    How was it? I ended up getting an invite to go fishing in the Gulf. I also have not had the best luck with the B'ham dealership and it sounded a bit like we might be getting treated like "second class citizens" at the event. So I bailed...sorry. On Sunday afternoon I did get to see two...

    I think I can make it if it is on the 7th. I will probably go if it sounds fun and the weather is decent. I may drag along my wife or a guy I work with who is rebuilding a 109 and never gets to see any trail action. Do they do overnight stuff or just day trips? Mike

    Timmy, Glad to see you have your truck running again. Looked good--maybe you can get it muddy soon. DCDisco, Have you actually been to this place yet? I have never heard of it, but looks like it would be fun in a Grayrock sort of way. Mike
