You are telling me !!    About 30 years ago 5-6 Rangers jumped out of the woods in front of our Buggys (3)  fully armed and tried to stop us on a trail up around Lake Conasauga in the Mtns. of N. Ga.  Scared the absolute Do-Do out of us. My buddy who was riding with me screamed "Don't Stop , Floor this Thing!!"   I did, slinging mud and rocks everywhere.  I don't know how we kept from running them down,but we missed them all. My buddy told if we had stopped they would have captured us and would have giving us a hard time while playing war games.  My buddy was a Ex-Army Ranger and told me later that those Dudes were either Rangers or a group of Army guys on a suvival excercise. Well at least they didn't shoot at us.  My buggy's 0-60 speed time was cut in half that day. It took a while for me to get brave enough to go back up in that area. A true story. Gezz!!

I used to duct tape candy bars to trees for em. Never bothered me whem hiking out there but I guess your just lucky. I've been on the other side of the coin,by the time you make it that far its hard to make heads or tales of anything. :lol:
