Check in for Jacksonville Florida

[Exocaged]

I may be a minute or two late.

Oh man.. i had fun.. we had 5 including me. 2 honcho's, 2 toyota's, axial rubicon and wraith. A fun group of crawlers. The terrain was dusty and hot. I enjoyed the 4 hours out there!
here are some pics i took:

That place looks better than the google map suggested. I look forward to going there.

[jeepgeek2002]

Yeah, a gem of a place. Close to home too.

Been going out to this place for a while. But never on Sunday, So normally don't see any other Rc's out there. Plenty of swimmers in the lake and mall crawlers spinning circles kicking up dust...

When it rains hard out there it's always adding more to the wash outs, So it's always different. Need some rain now to kill the dust out there..

[JeeperDarren]

Exocaged and I plan on hitting it Friday, around 6ish.

[autoTEK]

more pics from picketville.

[jeepgeek2002]

depending on the weather.. i ll come out and give you guys moral support til my wraith comes in...

[JeeperDarren]

you might be driving it on Friday... Hobbyworld generally gets the orders on Thurs.

[jeepgeek2002]

looking at google maps.. i found this big section of dirt with some "ravines"
Search for Inspiration Ave toward Finger Lake St .. it looks like a huge chunk of land. something to look into maybe? 14mins from me.

[JeeperDarren]

That looks promising... I got my wraith parts today, so maybe I can test them out tomorrow over there.

[jeepgeek2002]

AutoTek and I are going to scope it out in a bit. Waiting for him to come over so we can go over there. i ll post some pics of it if its not too dark

I went by there. That place is out for me. I have too much to lose if I drive past the No Trespassing signs.

I DO like picketville. I tested my Wraith with the new lower suspension out there today.

[jeepgeek2002]

i wrote to zone4 sheriff station to see if we could get a "permit" to ride out there. but haven't heard any thing back yet. We ll see

[JeeperDarren]

Are you referring to COJ.net - Zone 4 and the email address posted on the web page?

You could always step in at the substation and ask why you have not gotten a response yet....

[jeepgeek2002]

Darren? why yes.. thats where i went.. where is this "substation" you speak of?

[JeeperDarren]

3726 Blanding Blvd, it is in the same parking lot where Gold's Gym used to be, along with the Thrift shop.... Just look for the Police cars...

Don't mention my name.... I got in trouble the last time I suggested someone use the email address of the zone..... but since you found it before I mentioned it, no foul.

There are normal duty hours there, so you will only be able to speak with someone between 9-5.

[jeepgeek2002]

i m swinging by Hobby World tomorrow to see if my battery came in.. and the wraith.. i highly doubt it. but i have high hopes! i may pick up an other battery pack too.
Oh yeah.. " mr ocifer.. i know some guy named JeeperDarren.. if that will help {he's the inside guy!} "
Nope.. dont know who he is or what he does but he said don't mention him... :P

[JeeperDarren]

I was at Hobbyword today, I asked about your truck. Probably be in on Monday, since it was in CA. :( I was hoping you'd be able to join exocaged and I at Picketville.

There aren't too many Darren's with Jeeps in Zone 4.

I will probably start looking into it when I come back to work next week. I've never heard of any driving training out there.
