Just went last Sat to 445 and got run off by a bunch of hunters.  Lake Delancy is the best place north of 40.  You can run north all the way to Rodman Dam.  There's a humongus sand pit up there near the dam.  The trails are pretty tight with low hanging limbs and downed trees.  It costs $6 per vehicle at the park, but well worth it for the proximity.  Stay away from the south section.  The lake level is up and most of the area is flooded.

One slight little problem.  If I apply for a FL title, the state will want sales tax on an ATV that I bought in NC.  Don't know 'bout you, but $329 is a lot of money...

I'm a rookie to ATV Florida.  I'm interested in croom and have been reading the conversation.  I bought my ATV in NC, so I have a Bill of Sale and MCO, but no FL title.  It sounds like they've loosened their restrictions about having a title.  According to what you guys have said, it sounds like I shouldn't have a problem.

In reference to helmets, I just purchased a brand new Fly MX for $49, Snell 2000 and DOT approved, from the following website:

A wise man once told me, if you have a $10 head, wear a $10 helmet.  However in this case, you can get a $100 helmet for half price.
