Monsoon Mayhem on the Mountain - September 28th, 2024

[Backwoods]

Swapping everything from the TH in the relentless rain we’ve had most of the day was a pain. It’s done finally. Also don’t tell your wife your gonna go throw stuff in the truck. I found out it had to be organized 🤣🤣🤣

Got about everything but the Talon loaded up. Wife should be home by 4 tommorow and we'll head that way. Looking forward to hanging out and seeing you assholes, even if we don't get to put down as many miles as I'd hoped. I'm pretty content with hanging out at El Reys and having margaritas. Maybe they won't cut Terri off this time after 2.

This sucks, but I have decided to hold off until I can see this storm develop further.
That means don't look for me at the MOM.
We already canceled out overland because camping in sideways rain is not too fun.

I'm still considering early Saturday morning, but I need to wait on that decision.

If you haven't seen it, this is going to be fairly bad for this whole area.
I highly suggest yall check the weather.

Saturday morning, however, is looking to clear up fast.

High wind advisory issued for this immediate area for Thursday evening through Friday 30 MPH winds, 50 MPH gusts with 2"-3" of rain. Definitely will be sideways rain. A note about the trees here, many large trees are shallow roots into rock base, just the rain is enough to fell them here, not to mention add in wind gusts with a rain soaked terrain. Be mindful of not getting under these trees to much when windy & rainy.

I'm all good for a Friday ride, should be a good time to see waterfalls if the wind doesn't make it dangerous.

Yep... think we're going to head northwest and check out Hot Springs ORV Park. Never know, we might still show up to try out @Backwoods weiner machine

Guess I'll have to represent the three-limb club this weekend.

Yall stay safe next few days.
I'm still pondering coming. Friday.
Depends on if this passes before dark and damages.
Also have a family issue. But that's currently stable.

We were just talking about knowing where to find you and the Mrs ... El Reys!

I know the area is limited on eating choices. Besides the Mexican Restaurant, down on I75 Exit 122 is The Gondolier in front of Clinton Walmart great food Italian and American serves alcohol.

Just past Huntsville towards Onieda on US27 is ReaZacks Restaurant (Helenwood TN) but only open 7AM- 8PM TH & FR, closed SA/SU/MO

The wife and I eat at both places weekly and food is great.

Didn't get in until way later than I expected, but I did end up finding a couple nice trees to sleep between tonight.

Had a little rain on and off today but not bad. No one had any issues other than @CousinEddie random stalling.

Getting soft my friend.

All you early arrivals have had 2 great days to ride albeit some rain. I imagine today the brave souls who followed @TripleB will definitely find some Mayhem on the Mountains today.

Tomorrow (Friday) will definitely be known as Monsoon Mayhem on the Mountain.

I will be at Eagle Rock Campground Pavillion up and behind the big Red office building about 8:30AM for anyone wanting to chase waterfalls tomorrow, will be in the southern New River area, how we go in depends upon if the New River concrete bridge is underwater, even so we have alternative ways in.

Plan is to leave ER Pavillion about 9:30AM. I will have my radio on Channel 9. I can also be reached by mobile phone (618) 204-3229

Hopefully the winds don't make things hazardous. It will not get easier from here, the only easy day was yesterday 😁

This is what I imagine 😆

 

[Backwoods]

Got here about 11:45. I miss my camper but the cabin is pretty good. I was impressed. I’m fixing to go see what the Pavilion looks like up close for Saturday. I hope everyone is having fun
