I've run across my share of wildlife in ONF. I found this footprint when I was out with my buddy's Gladiator a while back. The angle of the camera doesn't doo the size of the print justice.

Yeah! I was in FL for 19 years and never saw a bear or a print. But I was on the coast.

I saw FWC catch a bear in my area and relocate it to ONF back in 2000. She weighed in at 680 lbs. It's rare a Florida Black Bear will get that heavy, but it does happen. That track is a big one.

Funny you should mention this! RealTruck just co sponsored a trail cleanup for Tread lightly! as part of the onX Offroad Trail Revival, and we had about 40 of us from the company focused on the BoH trail in Ocala National Forest. We removed a bunch of trash and tires, and trimmed back about 8 miles worth of extreme overgrowth that was encroaching into the trail. I joked that they were going to have to take down the "free pin striping" sign. We'll be posting the story and pics on here soon, so be on the lookout!
We stayed at the Big Scrub Campground. It has restrooms and hot showers, if that interests you, but if you want something a little more primitive, Hopkins Prairie has camping spots, but their rest rooms are more like glorified porta-potties. Both camp grounds are "relatively" close to the BoH trail and can be paid for online or at the site with a QR code.

I'm willing to bet the rainbow folks left behind a lot of what ya'll picked up.

Considering how trashed my truck was after doing the trail yesterday I can only thank all of you who participated. It was obvious that the trails had been cleaned up recently---but the truck still got scraped up big time.
