Again. Random coast rat s***. Was a great day.
Tomorrow to the Aquarium

The new aquarium is a nice addition to the coast. We took it slow and it took only an hour. They have more stuff coming.

I cleverly disguised a shake down run in my 45 as an off road day trip in order to have some competent people with me in case I failed on putting it together correctly.

We met up in Ridgeland and cruised the Trace in misty rain to Reaganville then bounced over to Old PG Rd to see the Rocky Springs ghost town. Mosquitos were out in full force.

Just past R Springs we saw the first power service truck in the road and I remembered that Hurricane Delta drive right up the MS River just yesterday and realized this may have been a bad direction to go.

10 minutes later. Confirmed

We backtracked and made it to Grand Gulf. The final 2 track was blocked but we made it to the end of the road and checked it out. The State Park was locked up tight. Likely due to the storm.

From Grand Gulf we passed Port Gibson to the Lorman Store for some fried chicken.

We struck out back East on one of my old tracks and pretty soon we got caught up in more downed trees and bridges out.

We drove all around and about and then hit more in Hinds county

On the last one, Jerry just plowed over it then drug it out of the way for the rest of us like a good Marine

We ended up in Raymond where we split up and went home in other directions.

Good day in the Goat. Zero issues. Lou got the first off road use in his 60. It performs great. Needs a cop motor for perfection.

Somehow I stopped recording at Grand Gulf until I restarted it at Lorman. Note all the back tracking. I’m going to delete the track. Nothing new here but chaos.

Awesome.

Grab that M18 chainsaw... it is awesome to have a saw and not smell gas

The headache rack on the goat looks prime for a saw sheath. Tuck the blade right in behind that spare

Had we been in the mountains we may have worked harder versus turning around

Great shakedown for the goat. My truck needs some power. It wouldn’t pull a greasy string out of a cat’s ass.... The Goblin spoiled me.......better 2F power on the horizon.

LS3 crate motor would be more in line with what I'll be looking for once you get bored with her

You will have to drive a Cop motor. It’s perfect for the steering and brakes.

I’d spend double for the LS what I’m going to pay for the 2F upgrade.....or so I’m told........and, it’s not just a “drop in”.......i will have the oL milk jug back on the pavement in 1/2 the time as well....

You've been around this game long enough to know that if you're super lucky you'll get a solid 50 cents back on every dollar you spend now on quality upgrades Just do it!

Not always.....

i recovered very nicely on the goblin......that said, it seems like the market is slowing down on them, and i am glad i sold when i did. So i can throw at the milk jug like a dirty stripper.....

Took a 10 mile ride down Longleaf Trace in Hattiesburg and then around campus

Filled up at on some good vittles at the Midtowner then hit the Lucky Rabbit to shop

Don’t miss the Pocket museum downtown for Mississippi’s smallest museaum. Displays change often
