Swamper-
I've been in that area with a BIG buggy in the past. Even when it's dry there are still bad areas with no bottom. Be careful out there if you decide to take your buggy.
Sounds like you guys are going to have a great time.

See if I can get something incriminating and post it on here  LOL I will be nice. A friend of mine might go he is not sure if he can get off though... but if he goes... GAME ON  We shall see. |

Well me and the gang rode out there all weekend
some pretty dry stuff and some mud here and there.
If you got a big bike it can be hard or impossible to go in at the 35.7 mm
but with the water there at the level it is you need the bigger bike.
We went in at mm39 and just rode left side trails in morning and then the ones to the right after.
JackL what happened?
The beach happened.  I forgot my phone and just didn't care. haha I've been noticing how dry it has been, and the pictures from macks shows this drought ain't over by a long shot. I was hoping the area took rain this weekend, but I guess not. How far did you get? I was telling a guy who knows the area well my plan to reach 41 and he said it wasn't possible on a quad. I'd say it will be soon if it isn't already now. Did you check and see how deep the boat ramp is at 35? I bet you can ride right in there with almost anything. It can't be very deep. |

LOL I probley could but if there was just one hole I could fall off into... my luck I would, and that would suck to start the weekend off that way. I really can only go in about 4 to 5 feet of water and 5' is really pushing it.  This would be a good example of a 4' mud hole LMAO and my luck  |

Good looking buggy, even sunk. haha No way that is five feet deep there. It is also hard bottom. If i get a chance I will be going soon and I will ride the little quad down it if it isn't too deep...after I walk it. I have been known to be real wrong about how deep the water is....hahaha. If the rain doesn't start soon, it isn't going to be an issue. |

This is another possible path (Note Based on the 2006-07 FWC Regulation Summary & Area Map booklet) this path is outside of the Big Cypress. We must at all times remain on State Land. This path is an estimate from the bridge before the Snake Rd Station (If headed West). We can park under the bridge, there are visible trails on google earth. This ride is from I-75 to a boat ramp on 41. What do you guys think ?
This looks good to me. I would really like to make it to 41. I am going to fire up Google earth and look closer at your route. What time are we starting? |

I didnt know if early morning, late morning, or what? We need 60"+ to get where we need to be. I don't care if it rains from tomorrow all the way to the 9th, it will be ok I believe. Worse case if that happened is we enter the Holeylands from the alley. |

It is a little easier to bring stuff on a buggy than a ATV otherwise it would be a liquid diet LOL

Listen gents, this rain ain't gonna do anything but make the sawgrass green. I'd bet it is absorbed already. Illegal rode it Sunday with no problems. BTW: Gonna hit it WED night if anyone wants to pre run it. |

BTW: Gonna hit it WED night if anyone wants to pre run it. Well I rode it Saturday nite and it was wet the entire area was flooded with about a steady 6"- 12" of standing water and natuarlly alot deeper depending on were you ride and some spots are downright nasty. I have to say if it stays like this or worsens it ill strictly be a 4x4 ride NO sport bikes as they wont even make it across the canal last week befor the rain at 39 there was a good 20' of bare dirt to walk across the canal now or Saturday there was no bare area of the canal and its shallow point was about 18" id say. |

The boy says he wants to go so I think I'm going to take the wheels off the Prairie and put them on the Outlander. I heard they are the same pattern. If not, I'll just take the Prairie. Dennis! Hey, bud, what time?!?!?!
