Ok, so as many of you may know, im from Mountain Home, AR and im getting to take a trip back down to visit with the family and friends for two weeks. Ill take the camera and try to post up while im down. If not, ill post when i get back. Should be pretty interesting.

Last time i went down we tested the "vacuum theory of space" by putting my rather small friend (5'7 115lbs) in an industrial sized trashbag, and put a vacuum hose inside and sucked the air out. The point of it was to see if you could move in space without air, and the conclusion was you cant get out. We also did a few other things that included target practicing from the back of a moving truck with a 12 gauge.

This trip should be alot more interesting since its warm out.

If you are shooting from a truck, make sure that the Wildlife Enforcement guys can clearly tell that you are not shooting at anything living. Ask how I learned that the hard way...

Have fun!

I knew you neighbors were right.

Have fun loftis, I remember driving through Arkansas in 2003. Flat and woody along the Interstate, but Alabama was even creepier.

Im back, and sadly i only got to take a few pictures and videos due to me leaving the camera behind. I tried to find the time to get on down there, but the one time i did have it, the darn computer was too slow. I think i got to my homepage after about 15 minutes and said screw it...

Ill post up as soon as i get unpacked and get everything settled in its place.

All in all it was a fun trip. Went down, spent time with friends, family along with a few others, and spent more money than i had planned.

The duramax is my dad's that im jealous of. With the chip, cold air intake, and the performance exhaust that i had to intall for him, hes pushing around 530hp if the chip is turned up to stage 5. He normally runs it around 3.

The view is from my old house that i cant get enough of...

Blue chevy is my buddy Adrian's 86 chevy, 350-TH400-np208

The camo one is another one of my friends, Tony, 84' 383-TH400-np208.

I took the camera for the mountain creek run with just 4 trucks, but those two were the only actual trucks getting real dirty. Unless you include a guy with a 2000 silverado who could only play as much as his rev box would let him...

We did end up breaking a few things. A kid came with a 04 silverado and blew it up. It actually was a pretty sharp truck that mommy and daddy bought him and after he buried it, he held it to the floor for about 10 minutes. Leading to the big bang... We did break front U-joint in Adrian's chevy, and managed to snap a bumper off of another truck. We also managed to get Tony buried with his 42's on.



The next week we actaully had a camping trip down there and had alot more fun. Sadly, i forgot the camera as we were late getting out there. It wasnt really much of an actual trail run, but more or less a mud bog right next to the lake. We were having contests to see who could touch water and still make it through.


The Bad- some dumb@$$ took our gascan for my 700 polaris, and even took my key out. I'll have to post another thread on how i fixed the "no key problem". (n a nutshell i took out the tumblers and stuck in an old key.)
