HUMMING ALONG IN AN OFF-ROAD PARADISE.(Revs)
Byline: MIKE FLOYD
** Call it one of those "Wouldn't it be cool if?'' moments: Jordan Weyand and his cohorts in the recreation department at the Nemacolin Woodlands Resort & Spa in Farmington, Pennsylvania, were kicking around ideas and talk turned to an off-road course. Yes, that would be cool. They had plenty of available land and pie-in-the-sky ideas, but no vehicles.
Then one day Weyand came to work and noticed two Hummer H1s parked in one of the resort's hotel driveways.
"At first I thought it was just a couple of guests,'' Weyand recalls.
Nope, those were the bosses' H1s. Joe Hardy, Nemacolin Resort and 84 Lumber chain owner, had heard the chatter and blindsided Weyand and company, buying the Hummers and telling them to go for it.
Yes, sir, we'll get right on it, sir.
First, some recon was in order, so the Nemacolin crew went to the official Hummer H2 Academy in South Bend, Indiana, for ideas. All they got from GM was a "Good luck with that.'' After the Indiana visit, sketches turned to drawings turned to a full-fledged, kick-butt concrete and woodlands off-roading paradise.
