Ocala Forest August 22 & 23rd

A buddy's girlfriend's uncle has a bunch of land out in Ray City in the middle of effin' nowhere. At the point that I "bumped" into a tree I'm pretty sure I was where no vehicle had ever been before. The uncle thought it'd be funny to send me down a few "trails" thinking he'd have to come in and pull me out. To his surprise the only time I got stuck was when I was doors deep into a pond that I shouldn't have gone it. There's definitely stuff out there around here, it's just knowing someone that knows where you can go and not get shot at.

I may still be down for next weekend as the damage was really pretty minimal. The corner of the bumper that took the hit just got bent in a little and ripped the little piece of the flare off. It does scrub on the tire as I haven't figured out how to bend it back out. One of the rear flares also snagged on something and broke the mount on the flare. I'm hoping to get those epoxied back on tonight so I can get it back on.

Best of luck, hopefully you can make it.

Any pics of the damage? I may have some extra parts laying around that you can use
 
Was out there on Friday, and I was surprised how dry it was with all the rain that's been falling on down there this past week.

I didn't end up running to many trails, the wife wanted to spend some time in Alexander spring, and we ended up only going around south of Hwy 40. We did encounter a few trails that were overgrown and had some trees fallen across.

Thanks for the info, will you be making it out this weekend?
 
Well it was a long and fun day Saturday, lots of trails and dirt roads. I didnt get too many pictures since we were covering a lot of ground. But hopefully next time we can get some more 4Runners out there.

Sorry I missed this. Looks like you guys had some fun! I was transporting a bunk bed and other furniture on Saturday.

My buddy has an 01 Xterra SE that we are working on fixing up for him. Hopefully around November we are putting on his lift and new tires. :)

Maybe next time ( when it is cooler and my life is calmed down) we can get another trip together!

Sounds good man.

Although I want to try the Citrus county trails next. They seem like fun
 
Keep me posted the next time y'all are thinking about going. Now that work is slowing down I should start having 2 weekends off a month soon and have more time check out some trails. Ive got most of my wedding planning stuff out of the way too so I should have some free time!

Hate that I missed it too, but next time for sure! What are these Citrus County trails you speak of?

Put Trail 13 & Trail 20, Lecanto, FL 34461 into Google maps. If you use the "earth view" and look 500 feet or so north and east of the intersection you will see Tillis Hill campground.

Lots of dirt roads and from what I hear there are some challenges there. it is slightly south of Ocala National Forest.
