You're in the Tampa area, right? Any chance those were taken in the Withalacoochee forest? |

Actually these were taken in late 2011 at a "conservation area" in Tampa Palms owned by the city. It was a great place to go play in the mud with some decent trails too. Had a nice lake to fish at. They had began fencing along the trail in certain areas and planting new kinds of native trees and such. I loved the place and went often. Well...the city sold it to a darn developer and they leveled the place! It went from beautiful to flat in about 3 days! |

darn got a website for this place in Tampa? I have the Liberty all packed up and I'll be leaving in a few hrs to drive to Tampa for almost two weeks. Wouldn't mind doing some wheeling if I got the chance between chilling with family and friends.

Get off of 75, state road 52, and head east for 5-10 miles. Cross the rail road tracks, and on the right side you'll see a sign for the Withalacooche forest...  Turn, and enjoy the mud.

Where's Rancho? What town? The Withalocooche is in Ridge Manor, if you hit Clermont, you've gone to far... It's about an hour north of Tampa.... |

Well, it was the g/fs turn to drive and shes like "Babe the battery light came on" So I was well we'll stop at the next rest stop. Then when I looked over the heat gauge was rising fast. So, I told her to pull over on the side of the road. When I popped the hood I saw the belt was gone. Turns out the tensoiner pully the bearing gave out cause it to come off and so the belt also came off. Had it replaced with a pulley that has a steel center instead of plastic center. I think going through hood deep water at DTOR a few weeks ago made it wear pre-mature. |
