Well the time has come.....

gregers05 · 12-22-2011, 09:33 PM

...I have accepted a job off in Hebron, KY (north KY just outside of Cincinnati). I will be moving up there sometime in January. I dont have all of the specifics nailed down yet. but ill update you guys when I get exact dates figured out.

had a ton of interviews a few of them I was confident about but ended up either being crappy pay or they wanted someone with 5-10 yrs of experience...which i obviously dont have having graduated last weekend.

this offer they sent me was pretty hard to pass up, they gave me the salary I asked for(which I completely didnt expect), benefits are great, they are paying for housing for me while I find a permanent place to live, paying for my fiancee's gas to drive up there and look for a job, and benefits are pretty solid.

ill be driving back a forth on the weekends for wedding planning until june.

fortunately, I will still be a reasonable distance to windrock and harlan. on the down side, the drive to morris mountain will blow, and tracy city will kinda suck too.

when I get settled into a house(hopefully) you guys are all welcome to come up for a ttora partay!

Well congrats man! Good to see one other GA resident toy wheeler move up north, just wish you would have stopped around chattanooga, instead of Hebron, but hey. Job is job. Congrats again man!

misterzee · 12-23-2011, 06:46 AM

Big Congrats man! That's quite an accomplishment! It looks like an interesting field too! I'll bet N. KY will be a nice place to live. There's more snow there. :-)

*Darcy* · 12-23-2011, 08:15 AM

congratulations greg!!! we drove to a junkyard and picked up some axles right around there last year.. (in a blizzard) LOL.. the drive up 75 wasn't that bad, atleast it's a straight shot back to atlanta!

anyway, i'm glad you're taking a risk and moving to a new area, thats what life is all about!

i feel like all my kids are growing up

thanks man. never heard of dirty turtle before. what kind of park is it? mostly mud or rock or both?

they didnt have any pics up on their site.

natural bridge looks pretty cool too. it will be nice to have a lot of outdoor activites to check out since theres not much around ATL unless you go up to the mountains.

well i start the 16th of January. They are putting me up in an extended stay hotel for a few weeks until I find my own place. So i wont officially move all my junk up there until I can find a house to rent.

tenntaco · 12-29-2011, 01:11 PM

I haven't been to DTOR, but the guys from the local off road shop say it's got a nice mix of everything. I hiked at Natural Bridge last month and camped near Red River Gorge. It's a beautiful area.

Shoot me a pm if you want to hit DTOR when you get settled in.

crolison · 12-29-2011, 02:36 PM

Full_Tilt_Fud · 01-14-2012, 05:08 AM

cztheman64 · 01-14-2012, 09:09 AM

gregers05 · 01-14-2012, 04:07 PM

lol yeah. i just went and spent $14 on a carwash that washes the underbody as well. too dang cold for the self wash lol

signalmtnyota · 01-16-2012, 12:40 PM

Congrats on graduation and job!
