Are there good places to climb there? I'm in the process of building a rock garden that will have slick rock, staggered rocks, a vertical climb and a few other treats. Once I get it done I will post pics.

i will be moving to the sarasota area, and im expecting for there to be atleast a couple guys that want to get toegether everyother week or so! and if not i will be very unhappy and will have to take it out on the gators!

lol seriously though, i am making the move and have some freinds that own a concrete buisness and this may be the ticket to a course, i will try my best to get him interested giving him plenty of time with my truck, the only thing is he will need a taste of competion so we will have to set something up. when i get down there i will find out where he dumps his excess concrete and we can probally go play there
also for info i have an axial thats set up for comp (ultra low cg) and i have a f-350 and juggy in the works the ferd will tow the two other trucks all will have tubing eventually

cant wait to make it down, my only gripe about florida compaired to berflow (buffalo for you southnas) is the lack of rock!!! makes me reconsider the long travel suspention for my taco(tacoma), instead of a solid axle convertion

have fun at the Skyway, I prefer Fred Howard better with the more varied terrian.
I'm presently in the Northwest right now but I will be in the CFL area around April and I now I would love to run with the Florida boys again.

We have found that if you don't watch the tides Fred Howard can suck. With the high tides we have been having there no rocks to run on. The skyway is higher so there's on worries, also there is power to charge batterys.
