Hey Al:

That climb after the 2-feet of water - is that the same spot where the buggies were going up last time there?

Looks like you had a blast - sorry that I didn't make it, but it was better for me to sit this one out. I'm looking at going to Perry at the end of August now.

Eric

I'm pretty sure this is where your damage came from Albert.

Great pics, Guys. Sounds like a good weekend. Glad to hear the nights were cool for y'all. Summer camping down here can be hot and sticky, but I guess that's why they made beer. Camped Oklawaha many times. Good place to chill.

I'll be wheelin' up in SC at the end of August so I won't make the Perry trip, barring no hurricanes again this year. I will make the next A-Pit trip to claim my duct tape.

Can someone give a clue where this place is at? I want to run over and check it out. Thought there was mention that there are uncharted trails... can it be?
