Can’t make it this weekend. Just be careful which trails you go on, they’re very tight and will scratch the crap out of your rig. Unless you have some sort of protection then I’d stay on the main roads. We’ve seen rigs with Saran Wrap, bed liner, and all kinds of crazy stuff. You can get the badge just by showing up there if that’s what your after. We just went up and took photo in front of the bombing range, got our badge then went to withlacoochee forest to wheel........
From what I've found it looks like the southern portion is not as bad, is that right?Can’t make it this weekend.

It depends on the trail, there is tight trails everywhere, just saying be careful. A trail will look ok, and you’ll get in a couple hundred yards and it will close in on you, almost impossible to turn around on these types of trails, have to back out. I don’t want to discourage you, all I’m saying is be careful. We’ve been in there several times, and to me it’s just not worth getting scratched up just to go down a sugar sand trail with no obstacles what so ever. Other than the loose sand you can traverse the whole thing in 2 wd. Just my .02..... good luck.
So heeding your caution, what would be the better way to come in the south portion to get near the bombing range? North side or south side?
Yes, the south end is a little better. And you’ll be fine on all the main drags throughout the forest, it’s just the little offshoots you got to be careful in.
Thanks! I really appreciate your help!
