i was out there this past saturday and i had a blast. yes its wet but i think better then it being dry and dusty. i went through a couple of places that had water up to the headlights on my stock jk. i even got water in the rear cup holders when i stoped in the middle of one 'puddle' while pulling a fellow jeeper. good part is there are plenty of by-passes if you dont want to try. the trails have a hard bottom (sand not muck) so going through water is not that big a deal as long as you dont get water in the intake. i changed the diff. fluid when i got back to be safe and i didnt see any contamination. the best part is everyone i have met at orlando jeep club are good people.

Some of us (like me) have to work on holidays so our Jeep Club tries to cater to them!
Some people are in school or just retired so we usually have a good turn out.

I very rarely get weekends off in the fire department but I have lots of shifts with Wednesdays off, so these work well for me!

EVERYONE WELCOME!

The Wednesday [July 22] morning ride to Suburban Estates has been moved north to the Ocala National Forest. Ray Charest will be leading the Ocala ride in the south east corner of the forest. We all will meet at 9 AM at the boat ramp on the St. Johns River.. The ramp is a few miles west of Deland on S.R. 44. Hope to see you all there.
Mark your calendars for August 26 for another morning ride in the Ocala. Detail to follow.
