Ocala's a lot of fun. not very technical as far as offroading goes, but a great time never the less. another member and myself went a few months ago. and since then, i think another small group went out there. i don't know if i can make it for that weekend, but i'll let you know.

in case you need one, here's a great map http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprdb5192654.pdf

 

here's the picture thread from the last time I was there. sparklegreas (alex) was the other truck.

looks like you had a great time out there.i agree ocala is not very technical,but have you ever been to the rock quarry south of sr 40.?its a lot of fun.anyway hope to some tacomas that week end.

 

two more weeks guys!!i am getting some fire wood this week and getting my truck ready.i am going to get my c.b. raido put on my truck this week.not getting very many members on this web site to respond to me but ttora has about 4 to 5 trucks comeing out.hope to see some more out there.

 

me and a buddy will be riding out there for sure! only in my truck though, unless he gets rid of his 2WD and gets a 4wd this week! anything you need us to bring extra of?!?!

 

where is this rock quarry?

 

Sounds like fun.
I'll see what I got going on.
Maybe I can swing up there with you guys.

What's wrong with 2wd...?

thanks for the map &erson,are you gonig?finks99taco you should come out there is more and more trucks going so it will be fun!and there is nothing wrong with 2 wheel drive.each time i go out with my off road club(all 4wheel drive)i go all the spots they go and i hve not got stuck once.tacosuprem the rock quarry is not far from where we are meet at on sat.its a blast!!you will have to come out and find out your self.tacomacntryi cant think of any other stuff i need.i will have my littel grill out there if you want to put some raw meat on itcant wait to meet you and your friend.

 

DONT GO DOWN ANY OF THE TRAILS IF YOU LIKE YOUR PAINT!

 

i understand the concern!but we will be in the rock quarry and the sand pit for the most of the day.so...............mgrande there is not reason that you cant make it!right?

 

I wish I could, but that will be the only weekend I'm not scheduled to be traveling and I'll need it to get ready because I close on my new house on march 4th.

 

yea definitely cant wait! this should be awesome, ive been wantin to get down there for a WHILE now! and i think i may have another tacoma buddy comin down with me..not sure..he just got a new set of tires gotta test em out! and well bring some extra stuff just in case..and some grub for sure!

 

take a couple pics of the rock quarry..

 

I may end up going out and meeting up with you all.
If so I'll be there Friday-Sunday morning. I got a real nice primitive camp spot on farles lake?(some boat-able lake) not too far from big scrub, I would roll into big scrub to meet up.

 

damn why do i never look in this section!!! how far is it from west palm?

 

From intersection of SR 40 and SR 19, go west on SR 40 approximately 8 miles, turn south on FR 588, go south approximately 8 miles to FR 573 (campground is on right). You also can access FR 573 from SR 19 or FR 588 from SR 42.you can google big scub as well.if you need any more help pm me or call at 407-925-3487.we can camp any were we want to but i was using bigg scrub as a meeting place and if we want to we could camp there.any suggestion on where to camp is fine with me.

 

HEAD COUNT!!!!

Colin, thanks for the map. On my way back from the Keys this weekend I was thinking about looking for a map. Rode through the Forest many times but never stopped anywhere. There are plenty of places to check out.
