Been through there many a time, as we drove up I-26 and US 64 to backpack through Pisgah. Turn left onto Little River Road at Carl Sandberg's, then turn left onto Crab Creek Road at the quarry. In spring and summer, that's one of the most pleasant drives around.
I'm sure he's never been on that road.

Yeah, lets keep those Georgians at a distance...

:D
Does Mrs Hud ever let Hud come out to play if there are no BMR bonus points at stake?

Jwilly is a cop magnet.

Maybe when Pants gets moved in.

I had a suspicion, but just googled AV-8...sure enough the Harrier was the AV-8...so our friend from Flat Rock was doubly clever with his forum name.

Be sure to pass a "Thank you", for his service, to your son.

Welcome to the forum. Don't believe most of what these guys tell you, especially if they live in Illinois.

I'm not a cop magnet, I just feel strongly about donating to local municipalities in areas that have twisty roads! :)

So much so that he hires a lawyer to see if he can give more!

(BTW, I don't live in Illinois...so you can trust me)

Next up on The Feejers banquet is the Performance Award, which goes to the rider willing to go above and beyond in the call of supporting local law enforcement. This award epitomizes the spirit of selfless giving and "leadership" in the art of blazing the paved trail so that the rest of us can safely follow safely and without hassle. This award recipient scoffs in the face of intimidating things like sirens and flashing lights. No - this award goes to a true pioneer.

This year's award goes to …. Jwilly!

(Hip Hip Hooray!!)
