When you get close, just look for the signs in the yard - park anywhere around the house you'd like, and just come on in (you guys are like family so don't worry about knocking). Oh, and if I forget to unlock the door, just go out to the blue truck out front - I have a key to the front door hidden under the dash. Dig around till you find it, and then use it to let yourselves inside.

I'll chain my Pitt Bulls, Cujo and Fang (hopefully the chain will hold this time) as they get a little skittish around strangers. If the chain does break, don't run like that Sheriff's Deputy did (don't worry he's walking fine on his new prosthetic legs), just stand real still, and sing "Sweet Home Alabama" - that seems to calm them down a little, at least that's what some Repo guy told me a while back (He never told me that personally, but it was in the deposition that he gave from his hospital bed).

My neighbor recently found a bunch of fresh possum - let me have a few that had already begun to nicely age. I've got those in the freezer, so there will be plenty to eat when you guys arrive.

The more that show up, the more money in my pocket (hopefully you guys won't mind if I claim you as family dependents - it's that time of the year when the Welfare folks come check my status).

I had a good time but I can't take mud that takes $20 to find your Jeep again. I put some major scrapes down both sides trying to climb one of the really steep hills. Figured out later that I had it in 4hi. I knew that I should have made it. Gray Rock has turned into a club that you need a V8, 2-1/2 ton axles and 44" to really have fun. Of course that being said, I'll be back in March for the next ride.

I absolutely dig Denny's new tires, they make dirt/mud their punk but can't comment on their pavement prowess.

They're also siped and have that AT looking strip down the middle which helps out on the road. Before I bought them, I called up Goodyear and their rep told me that with proper rotation, the tires should last 40-50 thousand miles. They cost a little more, but if I can get that kind of mileage out of them, it'll be worth it.

Yup, I want to check on a couple trails from last season. It is rumored that WMA "Authorities" clean up (read grade) some of the main trails to smooth them back out for the masses, and also clear trails of fallen trees. I saw evidence of the former last year, but am curious about the latter - there were a couple of fallen trees that I hope they've removed.

[COLOR="LemonChiffon"]Am tentatively planning a recon ride Jan 18th for those celebrating the holiday.[/COLOR] Would also like to check out the "Blue Arrow Trail" (coming in from the other side) over at Muskrat Cove.

Plan is to just check a few locations along the trail system for conditions (i.e., cleared trees). Still should be about 5-6 hours of wheeling including travel time.
