    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

A good time to turn around!

I picked up a new pair of boots to ride in last night and decided to wear them for a break in ride Today. I have just about exhausted the Roads here so I headed across the Lakes to check out some Roads I heard about in Trugg County. I had a Great Country breakfast and headed down Rockcastle Road to the Little River Arm of Lake Barkley. I soon figured out that ALL the roads there dead end at the Lake or circle back to Rockcastle Road. I ran down KY 272 Almost to Hopkinsville and then headed South toward Fort Campbell and Clarksville Tennessee. I was on a Rural Two lane when I passed through the Small berg of Lafayette KY. About a Mile later I see a sign that says "END of State Maintenance". 200 Yards later I am at the intersection of Patton Drive and Artilery Range Road!:shock: Yeah, I turned around.8-[
 
Bet you could find some great Brass caseing's laying around.:shock::shock:

LOL for some odd reason that made me think of the cartoons where someone gets shot and all the water they drank pours out of the bullet holes and they stand there with a dumb look on their face!!
 
I like "end of maint" signs!

Typically, the military requires you to "police" all the brass you've consumed on a firing range. This means clean it all up as I'm sure they probably reload. However, when I was "visiting" the National Training Center (NTC) at Fort Irwin, California, I stumbled upon some unexploded 55 mm shells and also a few 20mm's. Apparently our convoy had wandered into an old firing range. The thing that still amazes me is the thought that I picked up one of those 55mm's and we bounced around the desert with it for a few days on the floor of the deuce and a half before I decided to get rid of it. It neved did explode on me.....

Obviously. We had an Old Civil War era unexploded shell that My Great Aunt found as Vicksburg in our House for Years, some of that time as a Door Stop!:shock: I think My Brother still has it.
