Also, the trails at Choccolocco are a little harder ,but there should be enough to have fun in the Prado.

I’m out for this Saturday, going to stay home and wrench on the 60.

I'm still a little in the dark as to trail difficulty, and I'm keen on saving what's left of these rockers and qtrs. If you need a hand wrenching that seems like the wiser choice for now.
I’ll be working on spray painting what’s left of my passenger side rocker and then working on getting the front bumper on the truck. You’re welcome to come lend a hand if you want.
Sid, I’m going to ride over to Choccolocco Saturday just to get a look at the facility and checkout other people’s rides. I have a 7:30 a.m. breakfast in Huntsville to attend, will leave Huntsville approximately 8:30 a.m. enroute. Hope to see you and Pam there too. I’ll throw that L. C. Smith in the LC for you to see if you get down here. Look for the Blizzard White 200 with Alabama 47-xxxxx plates.

You plan on being one of these spotters? Could convoy or pick you up on my way through g'ville if you'd rather go that route.

Zach and I are meeting up at chick-fil-a in gville @ 0830.
I am taking wife and kids so everybody is gonna be happy before departing.
Should be at Chocco ~10:30.
Packing a lunch to eat on the trail.
Should be a fun day.
Probably head back around 3-4PM, depending on how the day goes.
Davis- i know you are bummed about missing this.
Never too late to change your mind and bring the familia

I’m with you in spirit...but I’ve GOT to make some progress on the 60. Make sure Sid remembers to hit the fun button on the dash!
So Kids, what’s the story; did everybody have fun in the park, and how many had to get Mr. Trailer to bring them home?
Yeah, it’s been a little quiet. Did you not end up going John?
Joe Parrot and I rode up there, but did not try the trails. Eric from B’ham told me I needed sliders even for the easy trails. Parking lot got full pretty fast, and the concession store was not open. Owners were very nice people, sat and visited with the wife for a half-hour on the office porch. Water was out on the improved camping sites, but they were working hard to get it restored. Many primitive camping site areas available. No hard pads on any sites. Nice playground for the kids. Free park map download available, no hard copy maps. Nice drive via us231, us278, us431, etc. Beautiful day.
I like Choccolocco, that playground is great for my kids. Yeah, you might could have gotten away with a few of the easy trails, but always good to walk away rather than damage a nice vehicle like yours!
Yes, I’m older and wiser now I guess. I can wait until after I pick it up at BudBuilt’s shop.

They make a good product. I have their skids on my FJC and they are beefy
We had a pretty good size group. Had some issues with FJ60 fuel and a Unlocked 40 that ate up some time. Then people left for a 2 hour lunch
I wanted to be home by dark and scattered at 3.
So only was able to hit one trail today.
Great place. We'll be back again.
Laura and I ate lunch on site and let the kids enjoy the zip line. Could not ask for better weather!
Everything on my phone is here.

If you're looking for quick service, leave Jefferson's off your list. As Jason described...it took forever.
As bad a spot as it was for my fuel problem to arise, I'm lucky it wasn't worse. I won't risk that on another trip. I'm gonna nip it in the bud tomorrow.
There looks to be a lot of trails for our moderate rigs out there. We'll have to make another trip. Dixieland was keen on joining as well.
