hey guys im just getting back to riding after 25 years of not having a ride when my kids were young i lived outside of tampa a bit we came up and rode 4 wheelers in Ocala a lot im 60 now and had a stroke a few years back lost use of one leg and hand so 4 wheeler wont work to good for me my son lives about 3 houses down the road the other day a sxs went by us i looked at him and said we should get some of those i could handle that one sided. a week later he has one in his drive way he says i hope you were serios dad i replied i guess i was so now we both have one I'm so tired of sitting in the house every day.cant wait to do some camping and trail riding we live up here in Chiefland now so not a bad drive to the Osceola. we just have stock tires at this time could yall stear us towards any dryer areas for now thanks very much .
Most of the deep water is on the north-central side of the forest. Most of the water is around Impassable Bay and Buckhead swamp. If you steer clear of those areas, most of the roads in the forest are pretty basic, as long as you stay on the main ones.
My question @Defiant Offraod is have you ever been up and down through Or across The Apalachicola National Forest and its back roads and bi ways. There are many upon many a miles of it. I was born and raised there on the northen egde of Lake Talquin which divides Leon And Gadsden Counties along with the Great OCKLOKNEE RIVER WHICH ON THE BOTTOM END OF THE LAKE SETS A DAMN.T his damn was built on like the TRI-COUNTY LINE OF LIBERTY, GADSDEN AND LEON IT IS A SMAL HYDRO-ELECTRIC DAMN. UNLIKW THE ONE ON THE GA, FL, AL, STATE LINE. IT ALSO IS A HYDRO ELECTRIC DAMN JUST MUCH MUCH LARGER THAN THE AFFOR MENTIONED.WHICH OF COARSE RUN 2 THE OCKLOKNEE BAY.. There's 1,000's of miles along both sides of that River as well as THE EVER SO POPULR SUWANEE RIVER. NOT TO MENTION WHAT A LOT of ppl used to call the Chattahoochee which is located NORTH OF THE FLORIDA LINE , BUT THE REFERENCED RIVER IS THE APALACHICOLA RIVER.. I THINK I NEED TO LEAVE THE REST OF THIS TO THE EXXXPLORES including the great FORT GADSDEN.
I've only passed through the Apalachicola National Forest. It's on my list of places to explore though. I want to complete the Florida Adventure Trail this year, so that and Blackwater are on the list for this year.
Thanks! The GPS coordinates for where I was in Osceola at are in the video, just after the intro. If you want the entire Florida Adventure Trail map, head over to www.floridaadventuretrail.com !
There's nothing boring about it, if you're there to see the forest. You can do most of Osceola in a honda, and for the worst parts, knowing how to navigate deep water and knowing your limits will get you way further than a winch or snorkel.
@@jku4488-eh3kdyour statement is never the less somewhat true. But 1 can still never see the ruts that were dug by trucks with taller tires, once you go down road, they go down road, a badddd rain storm comes through. The very next day you say, I want to go play. You get in truck end up stuck ruts are 2ft. Deep. You wonder what in God's name came through here!!! IT'S dark mercey water i can't see well, phone dead, truck out of gas, now i guess it's time for me take long walk or sit here on my mmmmm A$$ ... WHAT DO YOU DO? GATORS& SNAKES YOUR IN A DEEP MUD YIUR CELL IS DEAD TRUCK IS OUT OF GAS?
That was a soupy day!
Indeed it was!
Kool! Another fellow DUUvalian!! Thanks for the video!
Born and raised there. I'm back and forth between there and Virginia these days. Sucks for running up miles on the Jeep! Thanks for watching!!
Great video👍
Thanks for watching!!
Awesome video! I got to get the Taco in one of these videos!
Let's make it happen!
@@DefiantOffroad I need about 2-3 weeks notice and possibly something a bit more North!
I hadn't heard of the Florida Adventure Trail. I'll have to check it out.
Head over to www.floridaadventuretrail.com and check it out! They put a lot of work in mapping the route!
It might be a year old but awesome job.
Thanks! It was a fun (and wet) day!
It looks straight, flat and wet.
You're not wrong. It's a lot of fun though! Thanks for watching!
This one is a lot more intense than your last Osceola video.
I still played it safe in this one, but not as much as the last one :)
@@DefiantOffroad Higher ratio of doors to no-doors in this one! 😁
You shoulda been there!

Rubicon Recon, it just flows off the tongue. Maybe just call it a JKRR or JKURR! !!!!

Do you have a fan cut off switch for that deeper water? I want to know if I should have one before I go there
Nope. I've never had any issue with deep water and my fan!

I live close to the forest and I think it’s boring it’s the same thing over and over again. If you are going to do this you need a wench and snorkel.

Osceola is of my favorite places in Florida to explore :)
