I suggest we meet there throughout the morning as folks filter in from various locations.

By the way, make sure you ask for a map when you pay.

Main parking lot sounds like a good place to assembly. Are the maps better then the ones of the website?

I definitely need help with the lift. Have you installed a lift before, and do you have any air tools?

Do you think we need to leave that early? It looks like it is about hour and half from here and the park says it opens at 8

I have not installed a lift on a jeep before but have on a couple of trucks. I dont have any air tools either.

Not lifted, have rubi wheels / MT tires, trak loc rear, no winch, have front hooks & rear trailer ball to recover if needed, no cb, decent driving skills.

Definitely Yes!!

Here's a pic of me, and a few other Huntsville area guys on our second trip to Mountainside - note the red TJ with "ground effects". He went all over the park, skipping the obviously difficult stuff, and had a great time.

Found out that we have a family gathering Saturday, so I will not be able to make it. There is always something keeping me off the trail. Maybe we can set another ride up sometime after Christmas. Be sure and post lots of photos...
