Based on the pre-run I think you’ll be okay. There is one spot that is questionable, but I think you can make it.

Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you know that I've updated the Rally Point details with exact data on campsite location and a KML file for a quick ride through the forest.
The ride through the forest is short because I want everyone to get to the campsite with light left to set up camp. If anyone wants to set up camp before the rest of us arrive that would be great!
Please text me if there are any issues and we need to choose a different camp site: (714) 262-3333

Iamthejoel I look forward to meeting you. My son drives a Suby Outback and he is very interested in functional upgrades for Overlanding. Last summer he followed my through sugar sand trails in the Ocala National Forrest and the Outback kept pace with my Sequoia...even better...where the weight of the Sequoia caused it to shift in the sugar sand, the lightness of the Outback just sailed across the top sugar sand. Where I decided to drive over a small fallen tree, I expected my son to detour, of course he didn't and the Outback navigated the fallen tree without any issues. We left the ONF with alot of pinstripping which is okay for the Sequoia however my son looked nauseous as he surveyed pinstripes on his Outback!
This is great info—thank you for reaching out. I’m excited to meet you as well and maybe your son at some point too and we can lament our pinstriping together haha
We will be there on Sat morning, not sure about the trail ride, but looking forward to meeting everyone.

Okay cool! Well I hope you’ll be able to camp out!
The trail ride will be short, so maybe you can hang out long enough to do a night ride with the group!

My only issue with this trip is comms. I'm, currently, limited to my cell. If someone has a spare handheld CB I could borrow, I'd be grateful. Thanks.

Well another great O B trip ! Thanks to Danan an Nick for putting this trip together. Next time anyone is in Ocala forest ride fr 46 . Start off on fr 09 to SR 19 or reverse. Great trail to desperse camp with your rig an great open view ! But keep your camp fire low not to draw attention to ur camp! Between fr 33 an 09 is best. Hope to camp there soon myself an maybe do some bear an wildlife spotting! Let's plan another ! Also plan a canoe an kayak trip at juniper springs and do the juniper run,very beautiful! Everyone can stay at juniper campground. An possibly reserve a secition to be all together. And is anyone up for a camping weekend poker run in Withlacochee citrus forest ? Anyway great to meet new people with same interests ! Hope to see y'all again soon !

It was an excellent adventure through ONF. Thank you for joining us for the trip. Seemed like Everyone had a blast. That was our second official Ace Cafe OB meet. Once I move I hope someone down here will continue the meets!
