All of this is getting me soooooo excited I start at Eckerd college in Tampa in the fall. While east TN is top notch for off-roading with rocky rivers and mountains, west TN and memphis where I am is mostly red neck mudding spots where your likely to pop a tire from the glass and nails thats mixed with the mud. This stuff in florida looks amazing.

We have our share of trash and litter in the woods but most folks actually seem to make an effort since our recreational land is so valuable and under constant threat of development

Its not the redneck side that I take issue with, its the gross neglect to our public lands that I hate. For example how hard is it to throw your damn beer cans in the bed of your truck after you finish one. Not like that beds ever used for anything else. Or people who try to make the biggest ruts they can. Some of the spots wouldn't be that bad but when the mud-holes get 5 foot deep it just becomes a car trap...

Pretty awesome video. Your rover walked right out of that canal and up that sand hill pretty nicely. What tire pressure are you running to accomplish that? Encounter a sand hill of similar status while up north a few weeks ago and after four attempts...finally had to get out of the main trail and use an area that still had shod over the sand. Was running 50 psi though and the rover was loaded for bear...so the mudder just went south with each revolution.
Anyhow, great video...and nice to see someone actually wheeling their rig.

Mudding
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

Been a couple months since my last update, we've gone from 8 months of drought to hurricane season down here, so 90+ degree temps and rain are a daily occurrence.
I've done some small projects on the truck lately and will try to get back on track with updates in the next week or so.
For now, here are a couple videos from this past weekend, we took a day trip out to the property to see what all the rain had done
WATCH IN HD!!
Short section of the main trail, this was about 50% tamer than the previous 3 miles we just completed..
North Mud Flats following Mike in his 99' D1, deepest water crossing at 3:55
