Ocala National Forest

[HummerNewbie]

So dеiтайожни, lotus4s and I went up to the Ocala National Forest today to try to find some trails. Found plenty of sand and there are trails going everywhere but most are not even Jeep trails. The day was full of pin stripping but we still had a good time. Never found anything that was challenging beyond just trying to squeeze your way through

When we were leaving we had stopped in a bank parking lot before hitting the highway to head back. A guy came over to talk to us and said he and a couple of buddies have rock buggies and showed us on the map were the good trails are. He is supposed to email me with more info so hopefully next time we can find some fun trails.

Only took a few pics be here they are.

There was a lot of this

Coming out of one of the trails with Dei and Lotus following. Man it's hot out, got to love AC

Had a nice escort for about a third of the way back, 25-30 bikes

x2, just the first trail before we put on our shields was enough to scratch up my truck pretty good. I'm glad I taped mine up like crazy, before you let me lead . I just got done putting meqiuars scratch-x on the entire truck, and as far as I can tell all the scratches are gone, except a couple on the hood that need more work tomorrow. How's yours?

I got a few pictures too....

Looks like a tight trail, but not as tight as the one I picked


More of the powerline trail


Highspeed!

[dеiтайожни]

First trail, nice wide open-ness


Yep...lots of this


Another pic of the powerline trail....


And that's not even all the tape I put on it! But good thing I did.

sweet dudes , nice pix its cool to see you guys havin fun out there

[Bully13]

Looks like a lot of Fun. Nice pics too! Too bad bout the stripes

[HummerNewbie]

You got some good pics DEI. It does suck about the stripes but I guess as they say, if you want to play...

Mine is still nice and dirty so I have not idea about how bad the stripes are and I know I should have taped up more. I like the trails we found off the power lines best but all in all a good day. That trail you found started off nice but damn it got tight fast

We will be back again and will find the good stuff.

Humidity=98

What, no pics of the deer trail DEI led us down? I coerced my son to wash the truck last night and it actually looks pretty good. No major scratches that I could see that won't buff out.

Had a good time guys, let's do it again soon. Next time I'll use the shields....

I was too busy flooring it to get the painful scratching over with to take any pics. That'll teach you to let the new guy lead! So...the last trail was nice, now I know what they are supposed to look like.

I managed to get most of the scratches out and the others down to where you can hardly see them, having the detailer come over to finish the job this week.
