"Mel Lowe", sole proprietor of the TLC Junktion in Gainesville. He his about a half hour north of Hard Rock, really nice drive through Micanopy and Prairie Plains State Park.

I get out of school at 12:30 and ill immediately hit the road, taking the back roads so I'll probably get to his shop around 3.

pretty sure burnie is there (Deo's) now installing the 2uz engine in the piggie. likely take several weeks to get it all the lil bits assembled. that would be cool to see the install. it looked like it was going to be a tight fit.

[lowtideride]

So camping plans moved to Hard Rock? I think I still gonna over night in ONF... Since I am one of the stock rigs I am just going to ride the Mellow Trails of ONF on Saturday. Haven't driven through there in years and would like to, anyone is welcome to join in if Hard Rock is not your thing.

If you want a camp spot, this is a good one. Close to the entrance. Been there before and the restrooms are very close.

I would join you guys, wherever you all end up, but bad timing. My anniversary is this weekend.

Ocala National Forest - Juniper Springs Campground Looks like Juniper Springs is pretty nice with plenty of sites open for the weekend. We could do the Adventure Trail Saturday http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprdb5196236.pdf if a few were wanting to give it a shot. Never did it, can't say what its like. Also just a link to the OHV trails map (North) http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprdb5196235.pdf

Got a couple friends going. Would like to do a couple hours of HR then go swimming at the spring.

 

[cruisermatt]

We are definitely camping in ONF! Camping at Hard Rock sucks, there's trash, the midnight dirt bike racing next door, no amount of Leave No Trace can help that place!

 

[lowtideride]

Ill be at Juniper Springs Sometime around 6pm on Friday (look for a 2nd Gen Silver Tacoma w /Canvas Camper Top)... Plans are to run Ocala Adventure Trail on Saturday with Mellowe(Deo), the 45 mile loop in ONF. Any are welcome to join us... Should be pretty low key. But like I said have never done it before.

Edit: Deo said he invited a few other Toyotaheads to join in on camping and wheeling.

 

[cruisermatt]

Are you willing to do the adventure trail in the afternoon so the guys who are at hard rock in the morning can join? And I guess that settles that we are camping in Juniper Springs.

 

[ctuna74]

you know that Juniper Spring is around 50 plus miles from hard rock and if your meeting in ft mccoy to go camp at Juniper thats around 30 plus miles what time our you going to run Sat adventune trail? and where our you meeting?

 

[cruisermatt]

Hard Rock and Juniper are 32 miles of road, so a half hour/ 45 minute drive.

And the meeting point in Fort MCCoy is 28 miles of road from there to Juniper. So 45 minutes or so. That point was chosen for the 4-5 FJC guys coming from North Florida, it probably doesn't make sense most of us.
