Panhandle FLA MEET

I'm getting a free alignment from dealer @7am Sat and then going home to pick up gf,son, and maybe dog then heading out 98 from Orange Beach. Going to go along beach whole way. Probably going to be in PC before 1 but will see everyone at the Target parking lot around 1:00. What time does the show start?

 

its basically an all day and evening event. last year they had everything set up at 10am but for everyone going look up the site for the show

Ill be in PCB till thursday or so maybe a few days later than that. If anyone wants to meet up let me know. PM me for my number

 

i appreciate you guys coming down i know it was kind of small. def needs to be a bigger meet. i did get 1st place in the toyota class

 

Congrats!! We tried to find you. We saw you one time but by the time we got back to where you were we couldn't find you.

 

yeah sorry bout that. i hadnt been to the show yet that day so i was just taking it all in

 

I seen a few sweet tacomas down there. One pretty nice 4runner too. Black on black/polished or chrome wheels.

 

Id come over there to meet ya and check out your badass 4runner but works been busy all week and it doesnt look like i can fit a quick trip in since PCB is 2 hours away

 

Im back at home now lol. Just spent 4 days down there. Maybe next time

 

What up guys...New to the forum, but been in the panhandle for years, currently stationed at Hurlburt, reside in Niceville...Any of you guys ever wheeled in Point Washington? Makes Eglin range wheeling like a trip to the mall, especially since Jackson Guard isn't fond of anyone wheeling off the beaten trails, and will ticket you for wheeling in streams and clay pits...Not sure if there's still easy access back there (Point Washington), I used to wheel both my wrangler and my current rig out there, access the south sections of the canal dunes just east of the 331/98 intersection...Haven't been out there in about a year.
The land basically consists of miles of white sand dunes that were dumped during the dredging of the intra-coastal water way connecting choctawhatchee bay and panama city's west bay...it's a sick place to wheel, check it out. Attached is a map and a pic of my rig:

 

I live out in Walton County. I know there are alot of trails that you can ride on in the Point Washington State Forest. Not sure about the sand dunes yet. I havent found them

 

If you check out the pic I posted of the map, if you look closely where Hwy 98 almost touches the intra-coastal canal near the choctawhatchee bay side, that's where I used to access the area...If you can find a trail into the woods from that area, the miles and miles of sand dune wheelin is incredible, and very secluded...occasional ATV rider or two, but really not too many folks go back there...

 

That is just right down the road from my house. I am gonna check it out tomorrow. I have only explored the Soulth side of 98 not the North side of which you speek

 

i try to stay away from wheelin in saltwater... jmo
been back there where the firestation is in walton and wasnt too impressed lots of garbage and waste and a toilet haha such a waste would be a great place to hang

 

The dunes along the intracoastal canal are a good 20 feet above the canal, so no saltwater to deal with really...I know what you mean though, I've contemplated getting a Walton county beach vehicle pass for a while, but salt kills..Plus I'd have to find a friend to get it for me since I don't live in Walton county...
The location I used to access the Point Washington area was just east of the ranger station on hwy 98, just east of the big Christian International church place...there's a sign on the north side of 98 for an industrial park that hasn't been built yet, and if you turn in there and drive to the back of the road there was a single-wide access trail that led back to the dunes...
Its a great place if you enjoy Baja-style high speed sand trails, plus there are huge sand hills to climb..
