We did a quick stop at Kennesaw years ago and toured the battlefield. Back when our boys were still traveling with us (they are grown men now) we traveled a few battlefields including the area North of Richmond (seven days battle) and Chickamauga. 

I had some interesting interactions with my youngest sons history teacher when they were studying the Civil war. The man was a history major and didnt know many of the facts I laid on him. It was a great exchange that very few people get to have.

we camped at Oak Mountain State Park in Alabama last March a few days for spring break on our way down to Gulf Shores.  We got to the campground kind of late, so it was basically set up camp and go to bed.  Needless to say we were all surprised when we woke up to a blanket of yellow pollen on EVERYTHING.  I think I took my truck to a carwash twice while we camped there.  We got some heavy rain while at Gulf Shores that washed the camper off as well haha.

Praying for rain here.  It looks like Thursday and Friday for right now.  Our vehicles are now solid yellow.  You can kind of tell the original color but not easily.  Our camper is parked at my Aunt and Uncles house in Goodwater, AL.  We can't wait to take them around with us because there are amazing campgrounds in Bama....

If a little yellow bothers you, wait for the love bugs. I just run through the car wash once a week. Better than scraping snow off the windshield. Today it’s 82, sunny and the roses are blooming. Yesterday I mowed for the first time. I’ll take it!

I totally agree, no way in hell I would ever move back to the north.  And luckily we don't have to worry about love bugs here in Atlanta.  They start around the Macon area south.  But for some great reason, hate Atlanta for now.  I'll take it because those damn things are horrible to get off the front end of any vehicle.

You just figure out how to deal with it.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
