Second year in a row for us to leave after lunch Thanksgiving Day from southern Indiana to head to southern Tennessee. When I say right after lunch, we ate at 1 and was pulling out at 2:30.
The trip started rough. We were about an hour and a half from home and the skylight glass from my brothers crawler hauler flew off and hit the top of my truck and front of my crawler hauler. Luckily it didn't hit the windshield or it would have put an end to our trip.
We didn't get a whole lot of pictures or any video (our videographer and picture taker stayed at the campground both days). These are what we got though. Our group was a couple Jeeps smaller this weekend than normal. My brothers is the tan JK. Friday was a good day on the lower end of Coppinger Cover. We went up the creek and instead of like we planned taking an easy trail back to the bottom, had to go back down the creek because of a new gate. Saturday started out with 1 less Jeep (4 total) and meeting @John Cooper for a bit before we headed to the upper side of the Cove. Don't tell him this, but John's a good dude. We played around a bit in Coalmont OHV as well. We hit everything we wanted to and were back at the campground by 1 PM CST. So instead of just hanging out in the RV's all evening, except for dinner, we loaded up and went home. We pulled out at 2:30 and rolled into the house at 8:40 PM EST.
All in all a good time. The only damage was a switch panel on my brothers JK, Jack (orange JK) had an inner bead pop, and I found a clanking sound that I've been having for a few trips. It was the upper rear control arm at the axle was missing its bolt. Also discovered it was time to replace the RC rod ends with Johnny Joints so I ordered them.
This hole should be named after @John Cooper ....
This church is in the middle of know where. If you don't have a Jeep or SxS, you aren't getting to it. And they still have meetings once a month from April to September.
We can't go by a Buc-ee's that my oldest doesn't want to stop. She's a great Passenger Princess on the trails. It's great spending this time with her in the Jeep.
