    Real world question fellas. Has anybody ever used anyone to professionally treat a yard?

    When I first moved into my place there was virtually no plants growing and part of the stipulation in the neighborhood was to restore grass within a two year time frame. Well, fast forward, I got grass growing but I'm having a company professionally treat it. After the last treatment (in my opinion) my dogs have been getting itchy hot spots. My roommate just brought his dogs up and within the first few days, they got the itchy hot spots too.

    Any body have any experience with this? The company said their products are pet safe, and googling hasn't turned anything up.

    We use TruGreen, and have for 4 years. Our dogs are inside dogs, and are outdoors for probably a couple hours a day max, down to only outside to relieve themselves if it's raining. Never any problems, but they've also never been out there and exposed to the chemicals for extended periods of time. However, their breed (Vizsla) has no undercoat, and are generally super sensitive to skin ailments. I'd say if they were going to, they probably would just because of that. No issues though.

    ^^^^^^^^and thus ends the most un-helpful response ever^^^^^^^^

    I would call the company and inform them that they need to go to the vet to get checked out. I use the company I work for and don't ever have a problem with our Yorkie going out there. Also, we have customers that have dogs out all day everyday and we never get a call about "itchy" spots and trust me, our customers would call! Lol
    With that being said, I would check for fleas because they live in te grass. If they have fleas call the company and ask them to come out and treat for them.

    Hey guys, I recently moved back to Alabama. Spent the last 3 years in North Carolina. Anyways... I'm looking to do some wheeling but I'm not entirely sure where. I've heard a few people mention Talladega National Forest. I'm located in Auburn. Any information you guys could pass along would be greatly appreciated.

    You're a bit further south then most of us. Though, you have the advantage of an offroad park near by. Look up Great American park, also known as GAP.

    I've been on their website and it seems like a bit more than my truck can handle. I'll talk to some guys locally that I know have been there and see what they think. I'm kinda looking for a place to do some fairly moderate trail riding and potentially some camping. I would be willing to drive about 2 hrs for a day trip. More if it was a weekend trip. Any suggestions?

    How far is it from Auburn to Stoney? I think it would be around 2.5-3 hours. The slab would be under 2 wouldn't it?

    Oh yeah, the second hill climb video is uploading now. In approximately 144 minutes from now it should be finished and located here.

    VVVVVV I can make it to Auburn in less then two hours. So, The Slab and Talladega National Forest are both options within that distance.

    It's a trailer tongue box. The only thing I could find that would fit in the rear of my truck. Still plan to cut it down by 6" or so, because it's to tall. Wanted something like what you got, but it just wouldn't fit.

    I did look at those, but you're right, couldn't fit my stuff in it.

    I'd be up for another Stoney trip in maybe late October or early November when we could camp and not be too hot in the evenings.
