Yeah, that was us [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Now I have to get one of those GPSs for his birthday. We are all planning a trip up there again in November, not sure exactly when yet. We're working on figuring something out for those 2 strokes, so that they can hang with the 4's for the long trails.


Preacherman: I'd like to see the pictures to, if you don't mind.

Has anyone been to that other campsite that is down off of 42 and 19? It's supposed to have hot showers and a pool, but I havn't heard of anyone camping there.


Preacherman: I sent you a private message with my email.

I rode down that area a couple of weeks ago and it was real wet. The water was up to the top of my seat, had my knees on the seat and rode slowly onward, not knowing it was going to be such a long ride in the water. Was glad to see sand again. There is a campground on the east side of SR19, Lake Dorr Campground. Looks pretty nice. Don't know of one on the west side of SR19. When you get your GPS, check out maptech.com. You can move the cursor around and the GPS coordinates will be displayed for you to enter into the GPS device. Great way to go to an unknown area. I'll send you a few of the pictures I took of the Big Scrub area including the Big Scrub Campground. BTW, there is an outdoor shower at Big Scrub you can use but you'll have to wear shorts.

If you guys like mud and water I know where to ride in Ocala. THere is an area near the intersection of hwy 44 and 42. Go north on 42 and on the right there is a power substation and you can park there and ride quite a ways, its really wet! If any of you have 4x4s and want to meet up, we have a big group that rides weekly.

Thanks for the info Preacherman, we camped at Big Scrub last time, except everyone went over to the showers at like 1 in the morning...I've never heard men get such a high pitched voice. That water is like ice. I'd rather head down to Blue Sink [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

RideRed420,
Glad to hear you got the GPS, comes in handy in the forest. Too bad it can't tell us about the mud.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

We will be riding this weekend at Big Scrub. You can usually find us parked up front along the 588 side. We are in a 30' Cruise Air Motorhome pulling a 16'trailer and have 2 identical Raptors. Always looking to meet new friends to ride and camp with.

2001 Warrior (for sale $3800 obo)
1993 Warrior (still tickin away)
