Jeep ride through Ocala with Wednesday Wheelers TOJC

[@markcosta4337]

I spent a lot of time in those woods when I would to draw with the Florida national guard. You know picturesque wonderful historic camp blanding. 😄😝

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Very cool! I have seen people riding around there and always wanted to get up that way and do some rides.

[@markcosta4337]

Love that rain!

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Rain makes for some cool trail rides.

[@markcosta4337]

It's funny we get rain once every quarter needed or here in Arizona.

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Rain Rain Rain... Last spring we got some rain while around ST George UT. It made for some muddy roads.

[@markcosta4337]

Sometimes it pays to have either a stock Jeep or modified no more than two-and-a-half in. It's funny I see these cheap cars here in Arizona that these huge jack up keeps can't fit in the garage

[@FloridaJeepRides]

The YJ is pretty close to stock. Just the bumpers and a winch.

I Know Ocala national Forest like the back of my hand. I hunted there for almost 25 years. I know the exact roads you rode.

[@FloridaJeepRides]

We have been riding the area for over 26 years. Back in the 90s we did a off road challenge with Southern Off Road. Such a diverse place with several springs and rivers. Some day I want to try to explore snake Island on the west side. Our next ride to the area will be at the end of the month. Freak Creak here I come...

[@SB-hi2xn]

@@FloridaJeepRides just be careful. There are some deep holes going to it. My 38s disappeared on a few holes last hunting season.

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Bounty hole....

[@GATORADDAM]

Yeah, you hit all my stomping grounds. Been going out there for years and years!

[@FloridaJeepRides]

We did an off-road Tri-Athlon back in the mid 90s with a club. 140 miles of trails, following written instruction, 10 miles of canoeing and skeet shooting at a range. It was a blast.

[@cmennenger]

@@FloridaJeepRides I remember one of those events. I believe a Ford bronco won the year we went. That was a great event. Need something like that again.

[@TONYMLT]

You have a Jeep or other brand. Seems this group doesn’t welcome other brands into their trips. I want to link up with a small group of any brand to explore the forest.

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Agreed. It would be a blast.

[@Ridesaway24]

Looks like a great time!

[@FloridaJeepRides]

The trails were a bit tight for most. But the storm turned a normal day of wheeling into a adventure.

[@loopimble]

It was an awesome day. Great video

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Hey thanks Loo

[@gilnarvaez1830]

Great video!!

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Thank you we had a blast, even in the rain.

[@TONYMLT]

What kind of radio are you using to communicate to your convoy? CB or other?

[@FloridaJeepRides]

We use CBs for club rides - and some people have BaoFeng hand held on the low end family channels. amzn.to/2Ip9RQ6

[@julianlozano4915]

Can u try to start like telling the entrances more specifically I'm trying to go on these trails and I just cant find the entrances lol

[@FloridaJeepRides]

We started off SE hwy 42 and took 49 north all the way. There is one slight jog to the left that is needed to get back to heading North. When there is any bombing going on they close the gates.

[@nicolecurry5627]

Good morning I have a dumb question to ask we are going to be moving from Pennsylvania to Florida can you see fireworks from either Disney world or universal studios from that location? Where the lake is 🤷‍♀️

[@nicolecurry5627]

@@FloridaJeepRides THNAKS SO MUCH FOR LETTING ME KNOW

[@FloridaJeepRides]

No problem when I ported the channel over to FLorida Jeep Rides it deleted all my 1995wrangler comments.

[@GATORADDAM]

Yes you can. But it's really distant.

[@cmennenger]

Heading to Ocala over New year's. Haven't been up there in years. Any suggestions?

[@FloridaJeepRides]

www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd610383.pdf Here is a link to the roads we can drive on. Just resist the temptation to wheel in the clay pits.

[@FloridaJeepRides]

also here is an interactive map. www.fs.fed.us/ivm/index.html?minx=-9184145&miny=3349031&maxx=-8978682&maxy=3461547

[@scottgarrett7794]

Best time, to be in the forest, is when it’s raining

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Loved it - Have fun at Suburban

[@davidchocron5881]

Is there phone service

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Most of the time. I run the GPS on my phone and it works good.
