As I’ve mentioned before, a group of us plan to meet south of Monticello, FL near I-10 at 7:30am next Saturday. ( I believe there is a Hardee’s at that exit ). From there we’ll caravan to the event**. If you plan to join us please make sure to post here so we don’t leave anyone behind.
** Approximately a 2 hour drive.

LATEST UPDATE ON THE PLANTATION RIDE……
For those of you that have never participated in this event, it has historically been focused on vintage Land Rovers but that is no longer the case. The organizer reached out to me a while back to invite all of our club members to attend. There will be additional updates in the coming months…..
———————————————————————————————————
Dear Friends,
The energy following our last update has been nothing short of electric. It’s clear that the "Rover" community is ready for this next chapter, and today, I am honored to share exactly where that chapter begins.
We are incredibly excited to announce that the 2026 Rally For Rovers will be hosted at the historic Millpond Plantation. For those who know Thomasville’s deep roots, Millpond is more than just a beautiful estate; it is a cornerstone of our local heritage. Known for its breathtaking longleaf pine forests and its legacy of conservation and sporting tradition, it provides the perfect backdrop for our adventure.
To honor the history of the rally—which began right here in Thomasville in 2016—we aren't just retracing old tracks. We are carving a completely new route through the heart of the Red Hills. This course will showcase the rugged elegance of our landscape in a way that’s never been done before.
Please save the date for our most ambitious rally yet:
Event Date: September 5, 2026
Participant Limit: To preserve the intimacy of the experience and the integrity of the land, registration will be strictly limited to 65 vehicles.
We are currently finalizing the registration and fine-tuning the details of the "surprise vehicle" build we mentioned in our last letter. Expect a full information packet and a live registration link on our website in just a few weeks.
This isn’t just a drive; it’s a tribute to our history and a massive opportunity to support the animals in Thomasville Humane's care through the shared love of adventure and craftsmanship.
Thank you for standing with Thomasville Humane. We’ll see you at the starting line.
With gratitude,
Todd

A New Event ….

I had considered trying to put together an event riding through one of National Forest or local WMA’s but I’m concerned that with the lack of rain, the dust would be overwhelming. 
If you have an alternate plan, post it up.
