Ten jeeps showed up for our May Wednesday trail
ride. Our riding area today was the Richloam Wilderness Management Area near
Webster, FL.
A good bit of the ride was through dry terrain. At one point we were slowed by a tree that had recently fallen across the road. After considering cutting it and moving part of it aside we elected to drive over it to the side where it was on more level ground.
Richloam is noted to be a wet ride area through the
rainy summer months, and since it had been raining a good bit this week we
found plenty of mud and water crossings.
Barbara and I prefer drier rides, but
getting some experience in dealing with mud was valuable. Still, getting the
stuff off quickly is important before it sets up like concrete under the jeep’s
structure.
We managed to get through without getting stuck.
After the fun comes the cleanup. Dust is easier to remove!
