Weekend Adventures: Black Friday Four Wheelin

Our pals came up with a heck of an idea this year!  Four wheelin on Black Friday!  While everyone else was out shopping, putting up Christmas decorations, still visiting with family or still passed out on the couch, eleven of us got up early Friday morning and met for breakfast in G'ville.  Then we all traveled an hour and a half to just past Columbia Tennessee to Wheelin in the Country!

 

We had four wheeling trucks, side-by-sides and a big buggy tracking through the woods, up hills, over rocks and dippin in a little mud.  It turned out to be a great day trip.  Not too far that you need to spend the night but just far enough to get some riding in.  We had a good time and I took way too many pictures!  So I put a bunch together and made a video for Weekend Adventures... show and tell!
 

 



Weekend Adventures: WindRock

How do I even begin to describe what a good time we had this past weekend?  We took a mini vacation to the mountains of Tennessee to a four wheeling paradise called WindRock in Oliver Springs, Tennessee.  Oh... only 72,000 acres of fun!

We stayed at Indian Creek in a barn that has been converted into sleeping quarters.  Our cabin had two bunk beds, a mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker and of course a bathroom.  I was impressed that they had towels, sheets and blankets on the beds and coffee with filters all there in the room.  We had already brought all that stuff with us.  Next time I will remember that!

The trails were muddy and I mean muddy!  There were puddles of water to go through everywhere and rocks to climb.  I drove a bit on Friday and Saturday and let me tell you, it's a lot more fun to drive than ride in my book!  I didn't get stuck or break anything.  It is quite satisfying.

The best part of the trip is that we got to spend time with friends.  Some of them we see often, some of them we don't.  But like I told Shaun, "If you don't go anywhere and you don't see anybody, you don't have any tales to tell".  We obtained many a story from this trip that none of us will forget.  But we had a great time and I would do it again in a heartbeat! 

 Beautiful scenery everywhere.

 Up in the clouds.

 Bunch of heathens!

I really wish I could share all of my pictures.  That would probably be like watching a slideshow of somebody else's vacation.  Pretty boring for you... unless you were there.  Or have been there.  Then... you know.

Weekend Adventures

One of my resolutions for the New Year was to take a walk in our woods once a week.  I always like to see what has changed and grown and find new rocks and such.  Yesterday, however, we played in the woods a little differently.

 

Yeah!
