good info, ill add cook & brown rd in charlotte county.

take palm beach blvd east to sr31, it will be 3-4 miles after u cross onto charlotte county area on your left. take cook & brown rd all the way till it ends(roughly 3 miles), enjoy the trails and huge mudhole.

[AminalPlanet]

i think this is about right. I don't have a waypoint for cook and brown, nor have i been out there with my rover yet....correct me if i'm wrong but these point covers the general area

cook and Brown-
26°47'55.67"N
81°50'9.35"W

[95w_bTEG]

yep, thats it

[03scgt]

cook and brown gets nuts when it rains.

[AminalPlanet]

so does that lehigh spot. this weekend (after all the rain we have had/will have this week) both spots will be full of mud.

[03scgt]

alot of people are not gonna make it out of cook and brown.id hate to get stuck out in one of the smaller areas.no help FTL

[AminalPlanet]

exactly why i'm not gonna fuck with it in my car without a monster lift and mud terrains in the summer...

now in the dry spell of late winter/spring it isn't bad...

[95w_bTEG]

i might hit up c&b this weekend, see whats up out there.

idk if i wanna put it through abuse without actually driving it for a while..

[vr_unreality]

I know we've gotten a lot of rain in the past couple of days, but Sasha was out at C&B with the STi late last week and said he had no problems.

[95w_bTEG]

should be nice out there, I'm gonna try to go out there sunday morning or so to check it out

[AminalPlanet]

give me a shout before you go. i may follow to watch or play in some sand or something.....

- 26°30'36.16"N
- 81°49'7.66"W


for future reference, this spot BLOWS now :(. it was fun DEEP (axle deep, in some spots) sugar sand. but the heavy rains have leveled it all out and made it thick and stiff. i barely made 2" deep tread marks now....i'll try it out when its one of those torrential downpours sometime, and see if its more fun in the wet.

[95w_bTEG]

stopped by sun harvest today, flooded!

[AminalPlanet]

i saw that when i drove by this afternoon...it looks rediculous now

[95w_bTEG]

yeah, I rode around for a bit and when I started to get water up to the doors I stopped.

There are bunches of trails up there as you can see from the maps, but last I heard, there are barricades that you have to go around, and yeah its "illegal" to go there. And there are only a few ways out (or maybe just one for trucks).

[Pro-Mo]

I live no less than a mile from it, and on my side there are absolutely no barricades.

Easiest way to get the would be to turn North off Pine Island road onto Chiquita and follow to the end. There are numerous trails to enter and the pan goes all the way to Charlotte County.

Negatives would be its illegal and there isnt much, if any, people out there to help if you get stuck. Ask me how I know. But Im less than a mile away if anyone needed help. Another negative is they are logging, doesnt effect the trails but its all open now.

One good thing about it not being crowded...

He had a doe with him as well but we didnt see her until we started down the trail.

[AminalPlanet]

holy shit, you saw a buck at the mudhole? fuck, i am out in remote areas all the time back home and i've only run into about a dozen deer over the years...most of which were not much bigger than my dog lol

[Pro-Mo]

http://www.offroadlands.com/

cool website i found today off of a jeep site lol basically you can search by location of all the legal offroad parks or state run trails. most of us know whats already there, but in case you're going to some other part of the state or out of state its helpful :thumbup:


Trails in N. Cape/Charlotte County - "Pro-Mo's tire popping spot"

[pimp_on_wagon]

actually saw this area when i was flying from jersey back to for myers this morning out the window of the airplane and looked it up on google earth. seems to be some trails and shit in this general area anyone ever check it out? i might try to take a drive through sometime this week

26°27'24.91"N 81°50'24.75"W

[AminalPlanet]

well i've never driven there, but i know thats a powerline trail. so it is very likely it may be blocked off, but it could also be in plain view of some houses.

1 other tihng, if you're wheeling in that area becareful of standing water. You're a stones throw from the mouth of the estero river and the gulf of mexico lol. Even Brachish water will make your ride a rust bucket.

[AminalPlanet]

bump. someone post the location of that "redneck yacht club" place, also i know people have found some more spots, post them up!

[Jeepin']

Found a decent little area today just crusin. Not big at all, but obsticle wise, very good. 3 very good sized rock piles, a pile of concrete (no rebar, I checked), really loose sand, and a giant mount of dirt maybe 3 stories high and about 100 ft long. Not really a "spot", but a very good place to test. I was out there for about 20 minutes, came home & made some suspension adjustments, then did the rock course again.

Its off Estero Parkway & 3 Oaks.

[AminalPlanet]

good stuff man

[AminalPlanet]

Jacksonville, FL - (actually Lawtey, FL) - www.myspace.com/lawteymudbogg

[AminalPlanet]

apparently there is a RNYC style place here in bama about 20 miles away. i'll have to check it out this summer if i get the urge for mud...but i have a feeling Amicalola would be better...

[McLogan]

id go out but my crappy luck ill just get stuck fast i my 2wgay ...=/

[AminalPlanet]

thats what tow straps are for

[McLogan]

haha true.. we will have to see sometime what the little ranger can do

[vr_unreality]

It's getting wet again out at Sun Harvest. I went out there a few days ago. The lake is probably pretty sloppy I stayed out of that though since my truck is still messed up and I was alone. Everywhere else is basically just standing water. It hasn't really absorbed in yet so the ground is still pretty solid.

[AminalPlanet]

so what is still open?

[citrustaco]

so what is still open?

I heard sun harvest was barricaded out. My friend told me that, I have yet to see it in person.

[95w_bTEG]

^ive seen it from the road.

[AminalPlanet]

^ive seen it from the road.

+1.

[Pro-Mo]

Still wet out here in Cape

[AminalPlanet]

Still wet out here in Cape

any decent (dry) trails in cape? bombing through 1 hole or driving through circles is boring. i wanna drive out in the middle of nowhere for a while.

[Pro-Mo]

Miles dude, and theres way more than one hole. You only need to stay away from the Federal areas which are clearly marked. Google earth it, my addy is 2419 nw 24th terrace. Just go North from there.

[AminalPlanet]

Canal Sand Pit- off of alico rd, very deep sugar sand and great fishing in the canal. sandy roads stretch from there to I75 and also back to Alico.
- 26°30'36.16"N
- 81°49'7.66"W

for those of you who havent been out to this spot in a long time or at least recently you may or may not know about the large wall of boulders put up to block off access to the canal by vehicles.

people (like myself) moved them out of the way to create enough room to drive through. however, the county has since added even more boulders and rocks that it is gonna be nearly impossible to get back there again unless there is a TON (10 or so) of man power.

we can call this spot "closed" just like nearly all the other spots.

add Okaloacoochee's mustang loop to this list though, its fun, legal but very short!

[StrokedNotch]

Cook and brown is also back alive every sunday.

[harleys]

I'm about to head from cape to the lehigh spot to check it out. Text me if anybody wants to meet up. 239-288-8538 - Harley
