FLCA Run March 22-23 will challenge all off road enthusiasts!
The FLCA annual Easter weekend run near Perry, Florida will provide every type of off road obstacle available in our state (with the exception of rocks). Mother Nature has cooperated and dropped copius quantities of liquid sunshine on what were soft boggs a month earlier which adds to unlikely passage without assistance on several trails. This is an area of steep ditch crossings at trail entrances/exits, hundreds of yards of peat boggs, tight manuvering between wild hog rubbed pines, fields full of 12-18" high stumps to crawl over, logs left behind from clear cutting, sugar sand pits and long tunnels of water covered trails.
If you are not a member of FLCA you can join at the event. Contact Jerry Dixon, President for directions at flca.org.
THIS WILL BE A GREAT CHALLENGE/LEARNING 4X4 EXPERIENCE!
Post up if you are going and I'll add your name here:
Jerry Dixon, President, FJ40
FlWakeBd, Maverick, FJ Cruiser (don't even think about the other one!)
Luis Caraballo, FJ60
J.D. Dixon, FJ40
Christian Mumma, FJ Cruiser
Jim Evans, FJ80
Ken Morgan, Pick Up
A Guest, Land Rover
Ricky, 4 Runner
Tracy, FJ Cruiser
Charlie, FJ 60
Tony, FJ Cruiser

Nice words Archie, I want to go.
Wait, I am going. And Archie, this time you don’t need to drive your 40 like you would an FJC. That 40 should go just about any place, you’re not restricted like in your FJC.
Here are a few more pics from 2006…

Here's a few more, don't see how any FJC could make it. Can't beat these real Toyotas.

I've been in alot worse conditions than some of these trails with by TRD as Paul and Maria will attest. Cruisers should love these challenges! And they will be alot more willing to assist the younguns!
I think you should leave the old 40 at home and bring your wife's Sun Fusion!
I'm hoping FLWakeBd will let me take his FJ on "Cypress Bones" and "Five Fingers to No Where" trails while he takes our 40 on "Palmetto Plaza" and "Leaning Stand".
We're gonna need trail leaders (Chris2) to lead on some of the new trails.
I don't know how Paul and Maria are going to get photos of everyone on all seven trails but knowing Paul he'll figure it out.
Christian could take a group also on "Bent Pine" and "Stump knocker Run".

That's a good thing Karl. Please give them my best regards. I really wish you could be there because this real estate is Old Florida and "ain't too many people ever walked on it" if you know what I mean. Great primitive camping to bring out the best in everyone. Sorry you can't join in...but...should your plans change you know you are most welcome! And so are your boys!
