Great grass Isomade

Why are you burning Deepsouth, to get grazing or prevent fire?

We burn for fire prevention and to improve wildlife habitat but it also helps the timber to grow by getting rid of the competition from unwanted plants. It also helps us get more money for the timber when we sale because the timber buyer can get through it easier and see it better. We do not graze any in the woods although I have an area that I would like to try it but I don't have fence around it, I've been trying to figure out how to fence it without spending a fortune but can't come up with a way to do that. If ya'll if any suggestions let me know.

Beautiful country around Chattanooga. I disassembled an aircraft in Charleston (Chawlstun) SC a few years ago. I had never been through the Smokies, so on our way back to Arkansas, with loaded trailer in tow, we took the scenic route through the "Great Smokie Mtns". We were to far along to turn around when we realized that byway wasn't made for out aircraft hauler. The park service law enforcement were nice enough, after realizing we were just some country bumkins that didn't know any better (and failed to read the warning signs). They did not write a citation, but kindly escorted us as far as Gatlingburg, at which time they became "off duty", suggested a fine place to eat and joined us at our meal. We insisted on buying their meal, but they said that was not allowed. What a great experience. We also did Lookout Mtn while in the area. Smoked the brakes coming back down.

You should have took ole AC with you to negotiate those hills. On second thought after some of the stories about the help you were wise to leave him, at least you'll still have a farm when you get back.

Monteagle was probably one of your biggest climbs.. i could have thrown a rock at you from here

Yeah it was the worst. I'm not sure what I'm weighing but it gave the duramax the biggest pull I've put on it. Was doing fine an keeping under 2000 rpm but didn't have enough fan speed so had to down shift and get more air flow.

I have been to Lookout Mountain, it's awesome!! The swinging bridge was neat, scared the dickens out of my friend out can't stand them. The point where you can see seven states was breath taking. Hope you had a great time.
