Hey Guy's, Here are some pictures of Lil-Shiite and Com from Sunday, April 4th 2004, this is in the Central Eastern Area of the RichloamWMA, East of East Grade and North of Center Grade. If you have access to a DeLorme Florida Atlas & Gazetteer, page 78 grid D-2&D-3 & page 84 grid A-2&A-3, and/or a Richloam Wildlife Management Area Map (the WMA is 55,920 acres of fun) so you know we only ride open marked, named and/or numbered WMA trails and/or roads. These pictures are from WMA Trail #87 running from the Power Line W-NW to Story Road, and as you can see we had a lot of fun that afternoon.......

Shot 07..... JD, Missed some of the best shots of Clyde's F-350SRW with his the right front tire out of the water & up a meter on the embankment, and to watch this out of shape rig get back on the trail using the 15kLbs bed mounted PTO winch and some ingenious rigging to do it, this is when we decided to turn around and go another way around this area, the hole that it happened in was the next one up the trail some 30 meters......

Shot 08..... JD, Missed the best shot of Lil-Shiite with his hood below water for about 3 to 4 meters, and to watch the water flow off and past the windshield, and the water came very close to submerging my seat, it took several days to dry the striped interior out......

Shot 09..... Jimmy in his F-150 had a 3'-0" to 4'-0" Gator swim in to the side of his truck, and I had to sit on the far side long enough for it to regain it's senses and swim away off into the swamp area to my right......

As I have said in some of my past postings that we do have a lot of water in Florida, and not all of it is in the Atlantic Ocean and/or the Gulf of Mexico. A lot of water is in the middle of, on and thru out & around our trails systems here, just think this is our dry season our wet season is coming, you should see what it is like by early August through mid September. That is when the Rangers close 40% to 60% of the trails in Richloam because it will be to wet and the water is almost twice as deep on the trails......

I hope that my Florida trail ride pictures are not boring you, I'll post some of the pictures of my next trip to Smoky's Mountains National Park or the Gatlinburg, TN. Area of the park in early November, because the trip is in late October......

Later

Mark......
