Wheeling pictures are just as good as build ones.

Looks like fun.

2/18/17 - Withlacoochee State Forest, Citrus Tract: 250 mile round trip over two days with 80+ off road miles!

Unfortunately my GoPro and/or SD card decided to crash and this was the only pic I was able to salvage from that drive.



More posing



Hanging with my Zebra buddy



Demonstrating the need for lockers



Big brother LR4



Starting to rain, made things interesting



Then a massive fallen tree blocked our exit (not shown)



Putting the Swampers to use the next day



It's a lot more interesting than it looks, lol
