Oh, I know where that is.  I have used the restroom there a few times.  haha  That is how women remember stuff.  Yes it is at the end of our ride as well.  Thanks for all your help!  Dawn

When I got my green sticker, I was told it was a one time thing only.  I am sure eventually it will be yearly, but not yet. 

Where is the Rodman Dam?  Thanks, Dawn

Yeah, I did notice the Lake George station on the same trip.  Did they have maps of Big Scrub there too?  The rest are on the link you sent me, which is great!  Thanks again!  Dawn

Thanks, Jim.  That was exactly what I was looking for.  I wonder why big scrub isn't on there.  How long are the trails at big scrub?

Actually our next trip is going to be RiverRanch, which we bought about 8 months ago and haven't been yet.  We also own in Suburban Estates, which we never seem to get to either very much.  We are in Palm Beach County and make it up to Ocala about 4 times a year to ride.  I just love the trails up there!  I am not one for muddin much.  If you are riding the north trails, don't forget to stop by the Pig Pen Bar at the trail head of the blue trail.  Jack bought it back and he is a hoot.  They don't open until 1, but he is flexible!  lol  Thanks for all your help.  Next time we head up that way I will drop you a line.  Dawn

Are there maps anywhere showing the Big Scrub trails and the Centennial trail like they have for the ONF north trails or wandering wireglass?  Thanks so much.  Dawn

The huge ATV trailer on 316 at the brown trail head rents them and they were pretty reasonable too, but you can't go off on your own.  You have to go with one of their people is the way it was explained to me.  The people in the small group seemed to be having fun though.  Dawn

We happened to drive by the Centennial Trail on 40.  I noticed in here it said you needed to park at Big Scrub (which we also found this weekend on our way to Wandering Wiregrass).  Is there parking available at a trail head off of 40?  Thanks so much!  Dawn

My husband and I just noticed this trail as we were heading over to wandering wiregrass.  Does anyone have any input on where you park, how long it is, is it worth riding, etc?  Is it part of the ONF system where you pay the $10 and ride for 3 days?  Thanks, Dawn

Oh, Busta, I wish I would have read this earlier.  We were up there during that time.  Would have been fun!  Dawn

We rode the wandering wiregrass on Saturday and a lot of the markers were down or pointed between the 2 trails.  It was confusing.  Thanks.  Dawn

Oh, my god!  That was a hell of a crash!  Dawn

Great pics, Bush!  Although it seems you were distracted in a couple of them.  haha  Dawn

Great pics!  It's been a while since I worked in Manhattan!  Memoooooriesssss!  I was almost mugged just south of Penn Station too.  And you don't need any stinkin' girls on your trip!  You guys look like you are having a blast!  Dawn

Nice hog.  I always considered it cheating to hunt with dogs.  I think it is much more challenging and requires much more skill if you hunt without them.  But to each their own.  Dawn 

Women are all about the accessories!  NICE RIDE!

It won't be Plexico for the next 2 years.  haha  Good one, swamper!

Rumble at the Rock Friday night.  Hard Rock in Hollywood.  Dawn

Pretty truck!

Diggin' is always sooooooooo helpful!  haha  Dawn

Welcome back!  I was thinking prison!  And you had no access to a computer!  Dawn

Yeah, even if you marry them, you are under daddy's thumb forever.  Good luck to you!  Dawn

Thanks for the info!  Dawn

WHATEVER YOU DO...don't ride your atvs on the roads.  Get a ticket for sure.

If you get mixed up, just ask the next person to come along.  Don't be shy.  I help lost riders out there all the time.  The cowboys that head out without a map.   haha  There should be plenty of people out there for Labor Day weekend.  It really is one big circle so just go out and have fun.  Wish we were joining you!  Let me know how you liked it.  I love that place.  Dawn

When you head out, make sure you grab a map or 2 off the board.  You can always give one to a lost rider if you have a spare.  It will show you which trails you are allowed to have motorcycles on.  That is also where you pay for and get the tags you are supposed to wear while you ride for your 3 days.  The maps are pretty easy to follow.  Most trails are just big circles. There are also some of "you are here" signs on the trails and the trails are well marked.  If you are trying to get back to the trailhead where you parked, just look for the "TH" on the color trail you parked on.  I also when I go out will write the numbers of the roads that we are crossing in a black sharpie on the back of stop signs at the road crossings so if you are not sure where you are you can check posts and back of signs for hints as to whether you are crossing 88 or 75 or whatever.  The Yellow Trail is like the I95 of the park.  Tons of people on it.  Yellow will always take you back to the Delancy campground.  A big circle.  If you park at the campground, you will have to pay the $10 for 3 days riding, which you will have to pay where ever you park, but you will also have to pay for a day pass for the campground, which I think it is $6. There is an entrance just north of the road to the Delancy entrance on the road between Salt Springs and Palatka.  It brings you in on the purple trails.  It would save you the $6 a day and it isn't much farther north of the main entrance.  It is a windy trail that will bring you to yellow and you can go where ever you want from there.  We prefer to start at the brown trail, which is by Eureka Springs, which is just east of Salt Springs.  There are less people on it and it goes into the red and a little yellow and blue trails and back to brown.  I think if you google Ocala National Park and it will take you to the national park website and then go to the OHV section it should show you the different locations of the entrances and what is where.  Good luck! 

Hey, sorry to say, but we have decided to skip the forest this weekend.  Unless we change our minds tomorrow.  I am pacing like a caged animal.  I want to ride so much, but I am really broke as hell so we are trying to be adult about it and stay home.  ugh.
