Yesterday Eric & I stopped at
Ocklawaha Visitor Center for
information on off roading in
Ocala National Forest.
There are dozens of trails
off the 35 mile long
Pipe Line Road that
runs through the park.
Some of the curves
are banked.
The sand is soft and sometimes Eric puts the Jeep into low 4 wheel drive.
We found these very pale
green puff balls along the
side of the road.
Eric removes a tree
blocking the trail.
This section of the trail
has lots of dead trees.
The tree trunks
are blackened.
We think there was a
brush fire here a while ago.
Eric is enjoying the driving. He says it's like a video game, trying to avoid the tree branches that protrude onto the trails and shifting to the appropriate gears. I am enjoying the varieties of trees, vegetation and the wildlife. So far we've seen a mole, two squirrels, a few birds and lots of bugs. We're too noisy to sneak up on a bear.

We did sort of the same thing on the Loop Road in the Everglades with our great white truck. We were so noisy the alligators went into reverse to get away from the road. Scattered the ibis and egrets all to heck and gone.
