Kind of this.

 

[SmileDocHill]

My sawzall and cutting wheels are at the ready.

Is that fancy talk for dremel?

 

[SmileDocHill]

I'll be there tomorrow. Were there many classes going?

I'll have to try and remember the secret ingo signal so you can pick me out. If that doesn't work, blue shirt, goofy tan hat, shorts.

That your FJ? TTUE?

 

[snapping turtle]

No I might take a new pic of the FJ today. Mine is sandstone and a bird **** on it this week. So she needs a bath and some shining.

We didn't stick around long. Lots of truck top tents and vendors for the same...

We went over to Natural Bridge to hike on our own, then did a bit of scenic drives through the county.

No, you’re thinking of professional gunsmithing.
I’m into perfeshunal car stuff at the moment, hence the grinder/sawzall/torch/sledgehammer availability.

Welder? Where’s the welder? And a torch.

We'll be there in a few days, decent hiking? Any considerations not discussed in the "come visit" brochures? Two adults, teen, pre-teen in our group.

Balancing Rock trail is closed, due to fire damage per the sign.

It's a neat place with a lot of views. Trails are mostly short but steep. It's the second time we've been and it's fun for some day hikes but a day is plenty for Natural Bridge itself.

Thanks for the insight. It'll be our first trip to the Gorge area and Natural Bridge park is where we're spending time before check-in at our VRBO.

Just back from vacation in Branson, MO... I spent a day cruising the TexPlex at Fox Creek Park on their rather extensive mountain trail system on my little old 2001 Kawasaki Prairie 400 I trailered with us. Sweet Lord what a nice place to go wheeling. I love the mountains. Yeah, the pucker factor did get a little bit up there at times on some of the descents, and several places you have to be in 4x4 low to get up. The Ozark Mountains sure as hell lived up to their name. The $30 day fee was well worth it. For an old machine, she handled everything pretty well. Not a lick of trouble the whole day. The main trail itself is around 30 miles long and took me right at 3 hrs to do. Just one long twisty up/down rocky loop. You're almost always going left, right up, or down... hardly a place at all to stop to get photos, (I did get a few, and a couple videos) but to see it from the seat of a quad bike... priceless.

I love this one as you can see out to the next mountain...
It's at the top of one climb, and before the next decent.

Riding one handed while recording with phone... lol.

$63,500 was a steal.

$63,500 was a steal.

Wow, yes it was.
I know the FJ40 market is a little soft, I watch those and Datsun z’s, my two project cars.
The whole market is a little soft but that was stolen.
