Young folks having fun and wasting $$$ is still very popular…. Sometimes, Bitter old fucks just want to rush them into the shitty HOA /“keep up with the Jones”life that they wound up in. (Makes them feel better)

Hog Waller in Putnam county is still very popular. Bad ass SxS’s have taken over. They probably average 1 death per year.

Is this recreational pass time losing interest When I was younger in S Florida we could mud bog in so many places. 1000’s of acres. There would be 100+ trucks on any given weekend night. Rain or shine it didn’t matter Flagponds. Trails It was quite the time. It didn’t take much $ to fix if you tore something up back then Man those were great times.

Hog Waller in Putnam county is still very popular. Bad ass SxS’s have taken over. They probably average 1 death per year. Hog Waller is badass. We took our shit up there last summer. I spent one afternoon getting my son's Cant-am out of hydro lock and flushing the engine and diff oils. I don't like intentionally tearing my shit up in a bog, but I'm also not afraid to work the piss outta my equipment when I need to. The biggest problem at these commercial bog places is the amount of people and wild bullshit that some of these 20 somethings pull. I try to go when there are no big events scheduled. We still have a couple places where my son rides near the house, but he has been run out a few times by the cops, like all kids should from time to time. I keep telling him it is coming to a end with the recent development that has engulfed us, so enjoy.

If you someone owns the land and allows doesn't make effort to stop it, someone will find you them liable.

But If I think I might see critters on the other side.... I run the shit out of my truck to get there....
That being said..... I think I bent my rear passenger side rim today....... And the only reason I went down that particular trail.... Was I got a call from a good friend that mentored me when I first started getting into photography..... She is capable and has a Good truck.... But she slipped off the edge on an old derelict limerock logging road... That has probably not been maintained in probably in my lifetime

If you someone owns the land and allows doesn't make effort to stop it, someone will find you them liable. Erryone lives in fear of lawyers now. We had a "hole" here that was literally the state line for Florida/Alabama. The land owner put up with it for years and tolerated people on his land. He'd even occasionally drag the road at the entrance to his property to make it easier for people without 44s and lockers to get in and out. I'm sure it was mostly for the benefit of his farming equipment than our trucks but like I said he was tolerant of us being there. There was probably close to 20 acres of clay pits a small pond and various trails of clay and samdy mix. Well the trash was getting a bit much ND he came out one Saturday and said I've been nice but yall need to stop trashi g the place and tossing g your beer bottles everywhere. And I do t care for the language I've heard. And Don't go to the other side of the road past that line. So what did the dumb rednecks do? Absolutely trashed the place beer cases, bottles, home trash, furniture dumped and set on fire. And they went across the road specifically where he asked not and did donuts and rusted up the new road he was cutting in. We'll I saw it and new it needed cleaning up but before we could the damage had been done. A weekend or two later he duge the roads out leaving huge ditches were the access drives used to be and drove stakes in the grown to the otherwise of the property and put up gates. And told everybody "insurance" was to riskey of him getting sued. That's was 25+ years ago and it's still gated and locked up today. And the county put up big concrete barricades to keep people from access the last 1/8 mile of the road to the state line. Assholes Similar story about a blue hole spring right up the road. We used to hit it after Agust football practice and cool down. It was beautiful:(

I had the keys to his big red… Jupiter island. I fished from the inlet to blowing rocks in style. I was 11 years old and that only lasted a few weeks. I only got into a little tiny bit of trouble 🤪. I hope your kid has lots of fun while he can, like all kids should.

He rides every day after football practice. For the most part, the cops are still cool but I know he's on borrowed time. With the new development will come more stringent rules.
There used to be a great place just west of us and it's still in the middle of nowhere, where I bought my first house, but the beer drinkers and shit slingers finally fucked that up and I heard last week there were barricades across rds and access points. Being where it is, it was a little surprising, but then again, given the bullshit these 20 somethings (and some of their daddies!) are willing to fuck up, it's not.

I remember well hunting in Big Cypress with our Swamp Buggy. Only went about 15 MPH and we eased along going to our hunting spots in the morning. One day we came out and it looked like a freakin Race Track. The Cubans had arrived with anything that could blow up a Prairie. When we first saw it I told my Hunting Pard...Our days are Numbered. NPS even flew me around to show me the Big Picture cause they knew I was a Local and knew most of the Locals. That is why you have so many Regulations and BS to jump thru. They were tired of the crap...and so was I. People are Assholes....

I agree, TRT. As much as I spout off about open access and recreating like a free man, I can see why the noose gets a little tighter every year. Most people truly suck.
