New to here and moving to Hunts

Does anyone have any coordiantes for some of the trails?  MGRS or Lat/ Lon

It is on shadow wood drive.  Has a great view of green mountain and the valley below.

 I went to Huntsville High and I don't want to live in that district nor do I want my kids to go to school there. If you're going to give suggestions, state why you believe your statements. Test scores and percentage of students going on to a university are not the highest at HHS.

I'll admit when I was a student-Huntsville high was probably the best public school around but my sister is a teacher and she shows me the county/madison schools scores and they are better right now. Steve

The biggest problem I know of at Huntsville High is drugs not necessarily
test scores, but if you want them you can pretty much find them at any
school.

That's a bs reason. I hear that a lot from Grissom people. Grissom is
much worse about drugs.

I've never touched drugs, I don't drink, never have smoked, nothing.
Most of the 'druggies' at HHS are hippy posers. Only a few of them
actually get high with any regularity.

None of my good friends smoked pot... the other more hardcore drugs
are much more rare and hardly any of the kids do it.

About half of my close friends drank, most of them didn't do it that often,
but I would say most kids at the school did drink. No different than any
other HS, but I never have seen the point of it... especially if you actually
pay for it.

I went to Grissom.  Grissom has always had a reputation for drug abuse.  I hear about it from a lot of people.  I never experienced it when I was there and I ran with a lot of different crowds.  Pot was the biggest thing, but no more so than any other high school.  I think students at Grissom cultivate that reputation to "one-up" the other schools.

no matter what Highschool a kid goes to these days, he/she's gonna come across drugs/alcohol....i graduated from grissom, and yea, drugs are there...but its a small croud of Thug-wannabe white kids that have to be extra crazy to get respect from the black guys....and i also went to Randolph, which is a very very preppy private school, and i experienced just as much drugs there + some because all the kids had soo much money to buy more hardcore stuff...

I would reccommend Grissom area...there is a kickbut offroad trail about 3 minutes from the school, and there are alot of people at the school, so the kid would have alot of chances to meet alot of different people through the years....just my opinion...

James you hit the nail right on the head. ( I also agree with what you said Case). I'm a senior at Grissom and i have enjoyed all 4 years. It has been just as easy to find the right crowd to hang out with as it is to find the wrong one.

Rumor has it that the biggest problem at GHS is about to retire. James i dont know what year you graduated but I'm sure you know what i'm talking about.

I will have to check out that trail as soon as I get there.  I did a walk through on our house this past Friday and can't wait for the move. 

im probly gonna go ride sugartree this weekend comin up...probly on sunday morning...around 10 or so...

Ken where are you moving in from? What type miltec aircraft do you specialize in?
