Still in Lakeland, at work, but next Thursday I will be heading to Jeepin' with Judd.

For you Jeepers, come join us at this event, it is a fundraiser for the Florida Sheriff's Youth Ranch organization.

There will be great weather, vendors, obstacle courses and trail rides. This is the forth year and the attendance will again grow I am sure.

 In Slade Kentucky, heading out to wheel the Daniel Boone Backcountry Byway with friends.

Thanks for the head's up Jenandjon, we will keep our eyes open.  We hope the trip will be fun and look forward to exploring the forest with friends.

We are currently in Tennessee, parked beside Lockemup68 at Texas T's CG.  We will leave tomorrow to head to Kentucky and the Daniel Boone Backcountry Byway.

Jim, my Dodge 1 ton was getting 12-14 towing, 18-22 normal driving.

Our Volvo seems to be doing 9-10 towing so far, but the slight decrease in mileage is more then paid for with the confidence I have in towing with the 780.

Thank you again for sharing the HDT lifestyle with my wife and I, we will for ever be grateful.

Heading for TN and KY tomorrow afternoon with my adult son for some R&R and off-roading.  We will be exploring the Daniel Boone Backcountry Byway near Slade Kentucky. 

We will also visit Wooly's off-road park near Lynnville Tennessee, and Windrock ORV near Oliver Springs TN.

Then home to Florida in-time for Turkey Dinner:)

I live in Lakeland, other side of Polk County.  The weather here is fantastic again.

I hope you have a safe trip.

We hit Byrd's in western Arkansas last November, great off-roading trails.

They have some huge sights along a grass runway that would fit the HDT's.

There is a place nearby called the Oark General store that has been in continuous operation for 100+ years nearby.  The Burgers are fantastic.

We also ran into Alie and Jim at the Cloud Nine Campground on that trip and got infected with the HDT.  We sure appreciated their willingness to share and explain the HDT option to us. Really nice folks.

Ok did not have to wake the sleeping teen.

Figured out the crop function worked well enough.

Hello everyone, My wife Licia and I, have purchased a 2006 Volvo VNL 780, registered it in Florida as a  Motorhome and begun the process of adding a flat deck to the rear to carry my Jeep.   In Florida we are limited to bumper pull, so we have purchased a new to us 28 foot Coachman FREEDOM Express 280 RLS pull behind.  (emphasis on the Freedom:)

We look forward to this adventure and meeting others who have gone on before us.  I have had the very special privilege of talking to Mr. Henry, and e-mailing Miss Davena, if these folks are any indication on how the rest of the group treats new folks, I would say my wife and I have found a very special club.

Thank you,

We will post up a photo or two once I get my IT team, I mean my Teenage son to shrink the pictures to the appropriate KB size.
