Alabama thread!

Nice! Looking good my friend! I've always loved the Kawi's. I feel like once the lady gets more experienced, a lowered KLX 250 would be an awesome option for her. I'd love to get her a DS so we could explore FS roads together.

 

Sounds fun. Benn trying to get my wife to ride but shes smart and says no lol.

I went to the Ozarks for 5 days back During New years. It was amazing. Cant wait to go back. Me and a buddy finished AL adventure trail/skyway routes on our bikes 2 weekends ago. Looking to go back to KY or finsish the Smoky Mountain 1000 in March. Not sure yet lol. Truck dialed in now. Ready for almost anything.

 

Good morning Bama, hope everyone has a good day today and stay safe. We are expecting rain today and tomorrow they are saying floo***** . Not words we need to hear after the Helene problem. That may keep me from working in shantytown, we'll see.

 

Tell me more about the Alabama adventure/skyway. Looking to make a run at some trails on the truck and bike next month from Maine.

 

Good morning David.

 

Good morning everyone, have a great, safe and blessed Tuesday.

 

Good morning David. Hopefully no flooding.

 

Good morning Barrie

Those sound like some epic trips man. My bandwidth has been so limited lately, its been tough to get out for long trips. Plus its just so expensive to do anything these days!!

Truck is looking slick! Any issues out of that LT kit?

I'm going to try to make it up to Acadia National Park during this years annual trip to Cape Lookout - hoping to shoot north, and stick to the coast the entire way up, but we'll see how the schedule lines up.

 

Good morning Jeff.

 

From AlabamaWX

RADAR CHECK: Early this morning we have areas of mostly light rain across parts of Central Alabama; rain is much more widespread just north and west of the state. Occasional rain is likely through tonight statewide.

Rain continues tomorrow; the rain could be heavy at times. A few thunderstorms will be involved; SPC has defined a “slight risk” (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms for much of West Alabama… the rest of the state is in a “marginal risk” (level 1/5).



Heavier storms across Alabama tomorrow afternoon/night could produce strong, gusty winds. A brief, isolated tornado or two can’t be ruled out as well, mainly over the southern half of the state where surface based instability will be available. Rain amounts of 2-4 inches are likely over the northern counties of Alabama over the next 48 hours… most South Alabama communities will see around one inch.

Rain ends early Thursday as drier air pushes into the state; Friday will be rain-free with a good supply of sunshine. Temperatures will dip into the 27-32 degree range over the northern third of Alabama early Friday morning, but temperatures there rise into the low 60s. South Alabama will see mid to upper 60s Friday.

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: A dynamic weather system will bring another round of rain and storms to Alabama over the weekend. SPC has much of the state in a severe weather risk in their “Day 5” outlook, which runs from Saturday through 6:00 a.m. Sunday.



Temperatures will rise into the 70s Saturday, and the air becomes unstable ahead of the approaching system. The latest global model runs suggest the main threat of severe storms and heavy rain will come Saturday night into the pre-dawn hours Sunday. Once we get the mid-week system out of here, we can be much more specific about the magnitude of the threat, the timing, and the tornado risk.

Rain totals between now and Sunday could exceed 5 inches over North Alabama, so we will be watching for any potential flooding issues.

Sunday will be dry and cooler; temperatures drop into the 20s over most of North Alabama by Monday morning. Then, another big rain event is likely around the middle of next week (Wednesday February 19)… See the video briefing for maps, graphics, and more details.



ON THIS DATE IN 1965: A tornado moved through Aliceville, in Pickens County. Twelve homes were demolished and another 42 homes suffered varying degrees of damage. A church, motel, cotton mill, and several commercial buildings were heavily damaged. One farm suffered extensive damage. Several injuries occurred in and near Aliceville, but no fatalities were reported. The tornado was rated an F3 on the Fujita Damage Intensity Scale.

ON THIS DATE IN 1983: Called the “Megalopolitan blockbuster snowstorm,” this major snowstorm impacted the Mid-Atlantic and southern New England. Snowfall up to 25 inches fell at Allentown, Pennsylvania. Snowfall amount of 35 inches occurred in parts of the Blue Ridge Mountains of West Virginia at Glen Cary. Windsor Locks, Connecticut, recorded a record 19 inches in 12 hours

 

I hear ya man, def wasnt cheap to do those trips. Bike stuff is def a fraction of truck stuff.

No issues what so ever out of LT. Ive thrown just about anything and everything at it and its performed. Really not sure why id go with anything else tbh.

That sounds fun. Been looking at going to cape lookout. Hows the pace on those trips? Just feel like it would take forever to do an obstacle with that many ppl going.

 

It’s a 3 day route across northern AL. Some good views and a couple of pretty rough spots but nothing that can’t be done with so effort lol.

 

Morning fellers

 

Morning Brian.

 

I’m right in the Midcoast if you need a place to camp. Will be out of town a few times on trips this summer but shoot me a message!

 

Good morning Bama, hope y'all have a great day and be safe too
We've got rain so no outside working for me today.

 

Good morning everyone, have a great, safe and blessed Wednesday. Hopefully none of us have any flood issues.

 

Good morning David. Enjoy working in doors without you pleasant view of the river.
