The area near Rock Quarry rd & New Hope rd just got blocked off today. They put up chains, boulders, & even cemented one area. Gotta love the beginning of the fiscal year.

The electric lines service path entrance right by the light at jones sausage. And then if you go down S New Hope away from Rock Quarry all the entrances on the right are now blocked off with boulders and chain fences. Idk there may be more ways in that I dont know through the woods. After I get my TC linkage fixed & tow hooks installed maybe we could have a meet up to find a way in.

Dude he's your son! No one else's business if you buy, spoil or if he works hard or doesn't. Very classy answer, I must say! Good for you! My son was the same way. He washed dishes, mowed our two acres, washed everyones clothes. Because I was a Police/K9 officer and worked all the time. Yes, he was THE man when I was always working. So at 14yrs old, I bought him a 1995 YJ. At almost 15, right before he was to drive, I bought all new windshield, door hinges inside and out. He and I worked late finished install. He was so tired, but proud. Then I bought a small lift kit (2inch) he, my friend and I spent a day installing it. I then had a set of new 31's with Black D steel wheels and for his birthday, I took it to Circuit City and had a really nice sound system installed. It was a really great looking Jeep. I had Cj's etc, while he was growing up and this is all he wanted was a Jeep. I'm just happy I was able to give him this.
Unfortunately, a month and a half after he started driving, in a freak accident he flipped that Jeep we worked so hard on together end over end and was KILLED. I'm not looking for sympathy, just making a statement/or point. Yes, he was my little buddy and was my first by four years over my other two boys. It's been over 7 years and I still cry, yes cry guys when I really think about my little man. So for anyone to come on here and tell you how to raise your children, teaching them certain values and not knowing anything about you as a parent or him as a young man. Too me is petty and NOSEY! Even to fail to look at WHAT could happen, especially when they didn't even know that your son was like mine and worked his tail off with chores etc. So again, CLASSY response! My point is this.... Spoil if you can, but make sure they know the value of money. At this point though it really doesn't matter TO ME if he (MY SON/YOURS) worked hard or not. My son was a happy young man with his Jeep and I don't regret one minute or one dollar spent working or buying what I did for his happiness. Those times with us working on a project stand clear at the fore front of my mind and ones I will never will forget or let go. You just never know when you say goodbye, when their off to work(he worked at Food Lion)and was leaving work when it happened, not even a mile from work. Then expecting them to come back that evening and they don't. I'm just fortunate I always hugged and told my boys I loved them. As I did the last time I saw or spoke to him. It was I love you son be careful and a hug and kiss on his cheek. Apparently God(I guess) had other plans for my little buddy. Value every minute you spend with your kids. At any time your life could change drastically. Believe me, I don't think I have any enemies, but if I knew I did. I would never ever wish the pain of losing a child on them. Good for you and what you and your dad are doing for your son/grandchild.

Yes and no on him having a job. He mows yards some and does odd jobs when he can for money. He has been looking for a job but he is only 15 right now, by law he has to be 16 to get a job, other than working on farms in the fields.
No, I am not going to buy his gas and he has been told that and the same goes for his insurance. And he really does not leach off me, he works harder around the house than any kid I know of. He washes dishes, washes and dries clothes, mows the yard most of the time by himself with out being asked or told to or to help. Also, all the parts that he has need for his truck he has bought with his money.
He knows what hard work is and that nothing is free. He also knows that if you work hard you get things in life that you want.

Here she is about a year ago. New bumper and bed liner sides since. Moved to the triangle from Michigan about 8 months ago. Hit me up if anyone around here wants to wheel.

I know you are not looking for sympathy, but I just wanted to say I am very sorry for your loss. But you sound like an amazing dad! You did everything to keep him happy. I know that meant everything to him. He's smiling down on you
, I know it. He knew the value of money, and that nothing comes free. Just be glad you had the years with him that you had.
