I love Mountainside ORV Park down where you grew up. Been there four times, and hope to go back many more.

Interesting that you post this Wes. Was just signing on to say I saw some poor Redrock Unlimited just absolutely getting hammered by rain a few moments ago. He/she was heading South on the Parkway just past the municipal golf course with the top down, doors mounted, windows up. Had some sort of neon orange "bicycle" flag sticking up from behind the rear seats (or possibly attached to rear rollbar).
Looked lifted, but I only caught a fleeting glimpse even though I was, like the rest of the traffic, merely poking along at 35mph in a 50mph speed zone. That's because the rain was dropping out of the sky like a waterfall - just pounding. Visibility was maybe 6-7 car lengths with my wipers on Max speed. Standing water was 2-3 inches at least.
Felt really sorry for the guy - hope it wasn't one of us.

Hope everyone had a good weekend. I got a couple of tickets to the Tenn.-Ga. game Saturday as a bday present. Neyland Stadium was an awesome experience. 106,000 people .......... and we were 28 rows up in the end zone. Great seats. Whenever they kicked a FG or PA in the North end zone, the football came about 4 or 5 rows from hitting us.
Good Times.
And another Road Trip in the JK. That's one trip to DC, and one to Knoxville. The Jeep did great on the highway. Funny how people look at you when you pass them on the interstate in a JKU.

so you leave for a week and come back to rainy cold weather. I'm going back to the Caribbean. I guess I'll have to put the doors and top back on before I leave the house today

Thanks for serving alabamaslinger, and welcome to the Huntsville area thread. Hopefully you can get deployed here after Afghanistan - let us know if you pull it off.
