If we can put together a group I’m down. It would be me and possibly the wife or oldest son. I know a guy with a TJ that will likely go as well (possibly with his wife) as 2 people (a husband & wife combo) with JK’s that know the areas well that will go also. Trying to get some more JL’s out there participating.. That’s a good tentative date though. Probably would just do Ocala National Forest areas.

Anyone else down?
I'd love to, but I've got too much family coming into town on the 27th to be able to sneak away!
Camping in Ocala this time of year is GREAT too!

I want in on this too. Tentatively count me in. As of right now, I have nothing going on that day. I'd bring my wife and 2 sons.

10-4 they just came out with the holiday schedule for us here at NAS not too long ago and its something I've been meaning to ask on here. Your post just reminded me. I will end up going regardless but I would rather not go alone..
So your out at NAS! Im outta Camp Blanding and I may be interested in tagging along, whats the trails like in Ocala? It may be a great opportunity to take my grandsons along on a day trip. I would likely drive down to Winter Garden on the 27th and meet at Ocala on the 28th.

@Roky may be able to elaborate on the trails in Ocala. I have never been. From what I understand there is nothing there that a bone stock 4x4 couldn’t handle as there are bypasses for nearly every area.

We haven’t run Ocala yet, we have same type trails in our backyard, so been lazy about getting over there. But from what I’ve heard from others , you are correct about the bypasses. We might be able to meet there on 28th, and tag along for a while if you guys decide to do something then.

Yeah, it may happen. My only concern is that I have never been there. It would be silly for several people to drive from all over just to drive down what appear to be fire trails. That's the only thing holding me back at this point from actually going forward with meeting times and places and such. No doubt it would be fun to all get together as we have in the past but if the above mentioned is the case i'd much rather prefer a beach run/hang out. Unfortunately, the entire state of FL is this way with the exception of some super muddy areas where a trail goes from a (1) difficulty to a (6) difficulty overnight.

Ok.... no biggie, if it don’t work out, we’ll try another time.

That would be great if you could. Just general information but basically if it would be worth getting 10+ rigs out there from all over the state.
