PIC OF THE WEEK - MT. PLAYGROUND

One of my favorite places to ride, is up around Mt. Cheaha and Talladega National Forest.  Now that I have a Jeep, it's my favorite place to climb!  People have asked me, "Where do you spend your Saturdays these days?"  My answer is short and immediate... "the woods!"

MT. PLAYGROUND

The hills you see in the distance are the Talladega, Rebbecca, and Horn Mountains.  Harley and I have been all over the Mt. Cheaha area on our Glides, enjoying the hilly curves of the asphalt, but lately we've been exploring the rough and rugged ridge tops of these hills.
 

While exploring the rugged trails that cut through these steep hills, our Jeep adventures have allowed us to enjoy a part of our beautiful state that seems to be hidden from the rest of the world. It's amazing how peaceful and serene it is up there. 


I have accumulated quite a collection of pictures while trekking across these secluded pathways and I plan to share them with you all soon. 

Have a nice week everybody!

PIC OF THE WEEK - ON TOP OF REBECCA

Saturday, Harley and I loaded up the puppies and took a topless Jeep up to the Talladega National Forest.  It was a gorgeous fall day with sunny skies and temps hoovering in the mid 60's.  We had all terrain fun with our four wheels and saw some great fall colors to boot! 

ON TOP OF REBECCA

(sung to the tune of "On Top Of Old Smokey")
On top of Rebecca,
All covered with trees.
Look how my Jeep matches,
With all of these leaves.

What else were you thinking?? Hmmmmmmm...???

REBECCA MOUNTAIN
 
Rebecca Mountain joins up with Horn Mountain as they serve as foothills to their bigger brother, Mt.Cheaha, which is Alabama's highest point.

PEEK-A-BOO VIEW

I just love crawling through the forest and creeping our way through God's beautiful creation.  The peek-a-boo views are worth every effort that it takes to get here.

I have more to share and pictures to show, but for now... have a great week everybody!

PIC OF THE WEEK - TALLADEGA NATIONAL FOREST

During the Memorial Day weekend, we had a terrible forecast for Saturday, so Harley and I decided to do something we haven't done in years. We loaded up Big Blue (my F150 4X4) and took off to the Talladega National Forrest and climbed over Rebbecca mountain.

TALLADEGA NATIONAL FOREST - REBBECCA MOUNTAIN
There's an old washed out fire road that connects Hwy. 77 to Hwy. 148 near Millerville. When I say washed out... I mean Grand Canyon sized gullies and craters that made maneuvering the truck very slow and interesting. A couple of times, I even had to get out to see if our wheels were even going to make contact with some tangible earth. It took us two and a half hours to ride over 18 miles of fire road. I could kick my own butt now for not getting any pics of the road, but I did get some pictures of the beautiful flowers of the forest.

During our little adventure, Harley and I reminisced over the good ol' days when we used to drive an old '75 Ford Courrier through the woods in Meridian, Ms, just to see how many ditches we could take it through. Good wholesome redneck fun! Woo Hoo!

I have to admit... I'd much rather be cruising the highways on two, but every once in a while it's nice to have fun with four. Have a great Monday everybody!
