Ok I thought that it would be a weird way to break bug it's also a weird glare. Looks like fun wish we had areas like this here

Oh man that looks like an awesome time. Next time you guys go out there I'd love to tag along. I wheeled once out in Ocala years ago. I only have a 2WD but it did well out there.

From what I hear everyone had a blast. We should plan the next one while the thread is hot.

Yes yes a good time was had by all and we are going to do it again. However for those who do not want to wait for a dedicated ride the boy and I are going back this weekend where wheeling will be but a small part of the trip.
Tentative plan: Camping Friday night at juniper springs state park (near where we crossed SR40 on the way to the bridge lunch), canoeing juniper Saturday early am, and then doing a night ride n the woods Saturday night, camp Sat night again back at Juniper, hit the woods again Sun AM for a short ride around and then finally home.
We will be shooting BB guns, riding bikes around the park, maybe fishing too, and basically just doing family stuff. No need to bring a canoe, life jacket, ect. They rent them.
If there is interest to join us and expand your visit to Ocala Forest beyond just wheeling then come on and join us! My Boy had a great time with the kids that joined us last weekend too.

Had a great time over the weekend fellas and ladies, kids had a great time also. A couple of us ventured off after some of you left and found a great playground for the yotas, no idea where we were but so much to explore. Can't wait to do it again.

Ok people I have some FB Groups to recommend that can bring us together more often beyond just this Toyota deal here and maybe expand our opportunities too.
First is Florida 4x4. They are an any type vehicle gang that goes somewhere in the state nearly every weekend. They are who the boy and I have typically been going with. If you are not scared to get a scratch or two but nothing too extreme then join up and check them out. Warning, some of the people talk a ton of shit and if you leave on notifications your news feed will blow up BUT they are mostly AWESOME guys and gals. Highly recomended.

Next is Florida Family 4x4. Just set it up today. Its going to be for off roaders with kids and their 4x4 is also their daily driver. Will have milder rides similar to the Ocala one I took yall on. Going with the FL4x4 group kicks ass but sometimes having kids means you have to run a slower or different pace is all. Figured if families knew there was a group they could bring their daily driver 4x4s out and play without having to potentially destroy or drown them it would bring up attendance and be much more fun for the kiddies too. Certainty we could attend all the events with the cool kids more extreme fl4x4 gang but have kind of a beginner class so to speak too. The idea is more camping and playing instead of just covering ground though we will do that too. Stop to shoot the bb guns, canoeing at the springs, sling shots, fishing, bike riding and razor scootering around the camp grounds. Just a different kind of thing is all. Find it here:

Last but not least is Open Tiger Bay State Forest. It is a group of about 500 off roaders of all types who have been working to open a state forest near Daytona Beach to off road uses: Trucks, motorcycles, atv, side by sides. Its a slow process. You will hardly get notifications from this group but when you do it is usually to hit a link and send an email to the right politicians at the right time. If you only join one group please make it this one -
