Thanks Shift, and that could very well be! The current owner is a young guy, I think 22 or 23 - he lives in St. Pete but he moved over here from California and plans to drive it back someday

Given the conditions at this location (swamp), the handful of new trucks didn't really have a "safe" chance to test their capabilities.
It was mostly water & mud, and you were either slinging it or stuck.
There are other spots around the state that are more technical and better suited to the range of vehicles, my next post will help explain

After the large trail ride a couple smaller groups broke off to run "Fence Line"
Nobody could get through this little hole
Not for lack of trying..
Is this guy lost?
Our first creek crossing
Defender wash
Which led to the next section that Mother Nature deemed unpassable
Got him out OK, seats were a little wet
Baptitizing the Yello Sub
Tom's truck still chugging after her swimming lesson
Zebra wash
My attempt going back the other direction
Flexin'

I would like to add that not all photos are mine, many have been compiled from our group's facebook page & rally album;

Was hoping you would keep your word (about posting more pictures). Good stuff. Makes it nice when you have a group of fun minded folks, and it makes getting pictures easier...more boots on the ground and all.
Speaking of Joe...did he ever get another rig outfitted after wrecking his silver rover? Thought he had something in the works, but haven't seen him posting much lately. Hope he's still rovering.
Thanks, again for sharing.

Thanks Brian! It is a great group for sure, looking forward to more this winter.
Yes Joe got his new rig completed before the rally, there was a pic toward the end of page 7, here is his new truck behind the 110!
