Well folks looks like I will be on the plane outta here for good (for at least 4 months anyway) on the 20th Aug, yes, next thursday! Got my last mission flight tomorrow, going to shoot up all my 9mm and M-4 ammo too, yahoo!

Decided to not sigh on with the new company and take a break, will maybe consider it first of next year. They may have a 60 on 60 off rotation set up by then?

I will be home for the Springfield fairgrounds big antique swap meet and get to start doing some serious Ford truck wrench time.

So FTE GtG in the future, start kicking some dates around, maybe octoberish, when its cooler? See y'all soon.

Yea sounds like a CH job, lol. I can pretty much travel north, south, east, west but I think the active majority of use on here are in a southernly direction.

The Lake of the Ozarks was a ok location by me, but might be to far for the Branson area folks.

And the Table Rock Lake/Branson one might be a haul for you up north folks. I agree, a thread asking for oponions/ideas would work?

I got this off road park/campground just a few miles from my house. Its located in Fairplay which is 32 miles north of Springfield, 7 miles west of Bolivar.

I could ck it out as soon as I am home, or SMOOR (930 acre offroad park) is located in Seymour, its west of Springfield, Unk Bobs been there?

I worked at Lake of the Ozarks for a year. It was a three hour drive from where I lived at the time. There's a great park called Ha Ha Tonka up there. But I'm open to just about anywhere.

Ha Ha Tonka looks like a cool place, but no place to "4wheel". I'm good with what ever.

Here is a couple of links
