 Does anyone have any information about riding in Apalachicola National Forest...Have you been there or are you planning to?
 We were told by the forestry service that it is allowed, also the mayor of Sopchoppy has said it's awesome!
 Maybe if all the info gathered pans out a camping trip and ride can be set up....

I was in Thomasville, GA. a couple of months ago and stopped in a local Honda dealer. They told me that riding there was very good. I'd like to check it out, too.

The 14th is what I had in mind. Ride, BBQ, socialize, ride. Anyone with local knowledge that can come along, let's do it!

I've been riding there many times.  There's quite a large area open to ATV's.  Need a map or local folk so you stay within the boundaries as they're not marked very well. Also, do not ride in the mud/water anywhere.  They consider it destruction of wetlands and issue citations for same.  I don't know my way around there too well myself, but may be able to join ya'll on the ride.  There are some locals that know the area very well. May want to check out http://northfloridaatv.org  Just be sure to let anyone you hook up with know you'd like to stay in the legal areas.  Some great camping areas in there too.  Hope to see ya'll there.
