We had the best day exploring. I saw a lot of birds, alligators, turtles and other wildlife. Saw some BIG gators. :)
This will be a good ride esspecially for stock jeeps. Nothing extreme but lots of fun.

Arty,
Sorry to miss this, but I will be out of town this next week, going to Denver for 1 week for a training class on a new software/digitizer board we got at work...
Sounds like fun though, and I am sorry that we won't be there, have fun and be safe...

there has been an interest in meeting at the gas station across from skips boot in osteen to ride together. anyone want to set a time to meet and still get to Maytown/Osteen road and US 1 in Oak Hill in time?
looking forward to it :D

That is a great place to meet and it’s on the way from my house! It's about 23 miles From Osteen/Skips to Oak Hill, so it will take about 40 min to get a group over.
If any one wants to ride over with me, I plan to leave the Skips/Gas station by 8:15. Don’t worry if your running late, we’ll still be waiting in Oak Hill for you (till 930).

I will be there. I was hoping the shuttle would come down in time and it looks like it will.
