Where is rancho and also the 26th I couldnt make because I wont be back in town (panama city) until 9 that night. Give me more info and if you want to change the day, I'm interested but I don't know just how interested... btw I would bring my bronco to play not my f150 (it plays a lil)

OK well since you cant make that one then im going to schedule another the next month and agian in September. Rancho is off of SR 54!

what i have seen of rancho 95% of it a 2wd can go though. theres some DEEP holes but you can easily avoid those!

Hopefully we can get some hits in this and make a day out of it. I Don't know the deployment schedule for my new boat I report to in august. So I hope I can make it to the one in sept. Keep me informed. If a 2 wheel drive can go through most than I wont worry about taking my f150 there but I might have my wife drive it and I will drive the bronco to get in the big boys.

If a stock 4x4 can make it I might just try and make it out, if I do I could say its seen some dirt. Would be great to meet some people too.

Where is this going to be at? I'm an OCD 2WD pu$$ie so no go on my truck, but it would be cool to ride along. I'm north-central here. I-10 and I-75 intersection is like 20 mins from me.

You'll do fine out there. It's a couple hundred acres out there and has everything from 6ft deep holes to just shallow mud, to just some atv trails. Last time I was out there, there were a mustang (stock) and an old beater cavalier (stock, with a large speaker on top of the roof like the blues' brothers) tearin it up. Of course they didn't care what happened to their vehicles, BUT they didn't get stuck. Plus, half the fun is getting stuck and getting pulled out or vice versa!!!

IMHO Id let you ride with me. Its just not worth it you are like 4hrs away. When i go up to "Tate's Hell" in Tally ill definitely let you ride!

HAHA i saw a few pics of that. FUNNY stuff. Im sure there are some DEEP holes i just couldnt find any. I found a few but nothing major. Mike i know you arent wheelin anymore but if you change your mind id love to have someone familiar with the trails.

Its a hike from Ocala. Like i told Raptor it be better to wait till i make my trip to go up to Ocala, or Tallahasse. IMO rancho isnt worth a 3 hour drive.


ANYONE CAN COME. NOW THAT I GOT SOME RESPONCES, IM GOING TO THROW THIS OUT THERE. IF JULY 26TH IS A BAD DATE, NOW EVERYONE HAS THE CHANCE TO THROW UP A GOOD DATE, MAYBE ONE THAT CAN WORK FOR EVERYONE. ANYTIME AFTER THE 26TH WOULD WORK FOR ME JUST LET ME KNOW.

If you go down 54 towards Zephrhylls (spll) you keep going till it ends the place is on the left right before the end of 54. I think the road that cuts it off is 98...but not sure!

ill look it up last time i tried i couldnt get a map!
