Gas prices are as low as I have ever seen since I first started driving right now, and we took advantage of the cheap gas to wheel a few spots in Florida over MLK Day weekend. We headed out early Saturday morning and drove straight to Hard Rock Offroad Park in Ocala. Even though this…
If you make it to one offroad park your whole life, make it Windrock Park. The best thing about Windrock Park is that it has hundreds of miles of trails and trails suitable for every difficulty level. It even has mountain biking trails! Windrock is a park I have been visiting since I first started…
Nashville is about 2 and a half hours away from the town where Windrock Park is. One rainy Windrock day, we decided to make a day trip to Nashville. In Nashville, we did a bit of exploring.

This year’s charities included the Food 4 Kids Program, Kimberly’s Center for Child Protection, VFW Veterans…
