Florida Roll Call!

[MORTON]

From what I read with The Orlando Jeep Club, they have plenty of bone stock jeeps that go out with them out there too, and don't have any trouble, but they may take a lil less technical route. But this is also supposed to be a great trail and since getting my gladiator, been wanting to get out on it.

Can you please ask some of those folks in that club which trails to take?

I had a guy recon the area and he said it’s pin stripe city.. Trails are way too narrow. While normally us Jeep people don’t care, most of us still making payments do..

When he posted pictures up on the JL side people weren’t to happy with the idea..

I will still be out there at some point over the holidays to get mine with a few others using main trails that are more wide open. I also heard they closed the old fun zone..

If you could confirm with those folks that would be great..

At any rate I have posted the following on the JL side for now until we get more details:

“I think we’ve decided on a more subtle approach to this years get together.

It will likely be a beach run and out to eat, hang out type of thing. If you’re still interested let me know. We will make a day of it. Me and a some other members will be doing it so anyone is free to join.

More details to follow!”

The beach run mentioned above would likely take place in St Augustine.

Unfortunately, I dont kno anyone from that group. They do have a website, tho, so maybe can find someone to email? https://orlandojeepclub.com/

I'd be down for a beach run in st. Augustine as well. Maybe beach camp too.

Keep us updated on which one happens. Already got 29 thru new yrs off in anticipation of trail ride. Maybe I can try to catch TOJC at one of their meet n greets.

I live in Orlando area and have been on the Ocala trails many times with my JK and before that TJ....both 2dr. Trails are narrow...very narrow...no way I am taking my new ...still scratch less JT there.

And yes, last I was there the "fun zone" was closed.

That said...beach run sounds great

Lets make it happen Captain! Beach it is more to follow

Just happened to notice this busted used car lot with a JT already. Wonder what the deal is with that? I’ve seen the same thing when the JL came out though. Maybe they couldn’t afford it? Half tempted to ask what they want for it lol

@MORTON any good beach Or local primitive camp sites in st. Augustine?

 

[Terminus33]

What about Anastasia State Park? Never been but it looks like a nice place.

Its VERY nice there but you can no longer drive on the beach. We could certainly do the beach run and head back to that spot as there is a HUGE parking lot there adjacent the camp grounds. You have to pay to get in unless you’re a Veteran or have a FL State park pass.

Nevermind the time it says or the route (it only maps roads we would be on the beach front.)

That strip of beach will take approx 1hr to commute (I did it today).

This is what I’m thinking for our beach run.

Mid size parking lot at the end should we choose to use it. Or we could just hang on the beach. Or head back up to Anastasia. You can only drive SOUTH on our beaches. This time of year it is FREE to drive on the beach only 4x4’s (of course we’ve got that covered).

I’ve got about 4-5 so far on the JL side that’s down.

Wife/kid/dog or whatever is cool too.

Count us in. Punk'n JTR from Orlando.

Does Salt Life allow dogs? Thinking about bringing out Chocolate Lab that loves the beach.
