Totally off topic but I was wondering if there are any trails or beaches you can drive in the florida keys?

I don't know of anywhere in the keys, it's all privately owned or protected land down there

There are some WMA's on the way down and you can drive on the beaches in New Smyrna closer to central FL

Joe! lives in Ft. Lauderdale and knows some people / spots down there, message him if you are planning a trip!

So this happened... the day after the temp sensor issue when I went back to my truck the next morning.

I thought it broke in the driver door when I unlocked but it actually broke off in the rear door about an hour later... (ask me how I know)

I ordered two blanks, got the middle key cut at ACE (50% match), and the far right key done at a locksmith (80% match)

Truck was out of gas so I didn't have it on site (couldn't unlock the gas door)

I will see if he can fine tune the key and make a good set for the doors

I got the second key cut today, It's not perfect but I'll make do for now - I don't use the locks much


This was the first official trip out to Holopaw, parked in the middle of our lot



Met a guy with an L322 out there shootin' Go Gators



Fun little spot known as "South Beach"



My dad brought the D2 out the next couple times to haul the trailer & supplies



Parked at camp, guess I found some mud



Definitely found mud



Dogs aren't so sure






Mud flats (this is drought season)



This was the 3rd or 4th trip, managed to get a group pic



Trail Rigs // Pavement Princess



Buried that b*tch



Pups went swimmin'



Then got over it



Panoramic view of camp



Sunrise cookin' breakfast



My happy place

Great pictures, camp site looks cozy, too. You probably didn't get any snow like we did last weekend during our camp out.

Thank you, for sharing!

Brian.

This reminds me.. I gotta make a ramp or something to get our dog up into MagPie.. Dori is a bit large to just pick her up and plop her in the truck.



Looks like a rad time!

Haha yes! The little black one has springs in her legs, she actually jumped in through my passenger window last week

Yellow is 8 years old and she waits for assistance
