Gardendale is a few miles north of Birmingha on I-65. Anyone is welcomed to join us. E-mail me for directions or more infor if interested. I will post more details as the time nears.

I plan to try and be there one of the two days. Not sure yet which one. Leaning towards Sunday.

Until then.....

Hey guys! From past experience, it would be MUCH easier to meet up at the Wal-Mart parking lot. ;)

Easy entry & exit thanks to the traffic light as well as a boat-load of room to park rigs and trailers.

I'm still going to try to make it Saturday if work doesn't interfere.

If I miss meeting you Jeeperman, maybe next time? smile.gif

Hope to see you Scott. Nice web page, I'd like to get my jeep on there so maybe we will eventually hook up if not this weekend.

Sure thing Jeeperman. I made a promise to myself to update the photo pages more often. I had been letting them slide. redface.gif

If you want, email me a couple of yours and I'll put 'em up. I could stand to get rid of some of mine. It doesn't look anything like the pictures now. ;)

OR if you make it Saturday, I'll take some of you and put those up. Whichever way...

The web page is pretty much pre-made. Just pick out what you want the basic look to be and fill in the blanks so-to-speak. I had one up a while back except that a lot of folks were having trouble viewing it. Something to do with their browser versions, I guess? :confused:

At any rate, hope to meet up with you. :D

Hey Scott, could you e-mail me directions to the trail head.

I may make it Sat but it will be after you all have started riding.

Thanks,
Sam

No worries Cliff, I had a front bumper that sat here for 6 months waiting for the owner to get it. They were in the military and you know how that can go. Here today, gone tomorrow.

We can convoy. I'll let you know when I will be leaving.

Looks like it's gonna rain guys. It's coming in tonight and by Saturday, they're calling for an inch of the wet stuff! :eek:

Anybody know of a good Anti-Rain Dance? :rolleyes:

I'm sure there'll still be some riding...keep in contact with Jeepbrew or Nelson. You can reach JB through JU's BB.

Rain it is. It will not dampen my spirits though. I'll just have to wear my wetsuit smile.gif. Old CJ's are not quite watertight, at least not mine.

Nice pics Raider. I noticed the tressle in one of the series of pics. I use to go there years ago. I usually came in at the top side.
Is it still possible to get to the top. I know the way we use to go had become impassable.

The plans I have from jeepbrew (fromlast week) were to meet at walmart at 9:00am. As far as I know thats still the plan.

Sure Nelson. We've been up to it several times. Makes for a great picture! The view is awesome.

Appreciate the visit to the site. Most of them are from a ride we put on last summer. The others are from Monteagle and Tellico.

As for Saturday...I'll wait and see how things work out. If I can finish up a couple projects and the weather holds :rolleyes:, I'll probably meet up with you guys.

I hope you can make it Raider. I was looking forward to having some experienced jeepers to help me. I am a novice compared to what I saw in your pics and could sure use some help.

Here is my beeper if you decide to show up. I can tell you exactly where we are (if i know smile.gif). 818-8891.

I will have to stay home. Wife has to work and the newborn can't feed herself. Sorry but I will watch for the next trip and try to make it then.

Nelson, got your number. I'll call it if I'm running late to find out where you guys are.

Well I had a blast. I really learned alot this weekend. Sorry you had problems Sat. Brandon. You made it up on Sunday. Thanks for your help and insite Saturday Raider. The rain made for a wet and cold day but was fun nonetheless. It was nice meeting everyone and I look forward to wheeling with everyone again. Jerry couldn't have been a better trail leader. He helped me and others all weekend. It was nice to go with a bunch of people all of whom were willing to help each other out.

You guys keep me posted of future trips. Or, if your looking just to get out for the day some weekend call me.
