It is real wet In Florida

I was driving down some roads by my house and the water covered my 36" tires witout a problem. I ended up pulling some guy and his Van out of a ditch. He must have had a good foot to foot and a hlf of water in the van.

whenever your ready. I am heading down there Saturday morning to check it out. Alot of roads are closed right now due to river rising. I am going tonight after work and checking it out.
Just let me know and i will see if i can head out there with you

If i leave SR 64 and head to North port I would said doing 80-85 I could get to North Port in about an hour but that is pushing it.

The front bumper was on the road. If we go off road there are spots you could go i am sure. We had a friend out there with a stock blazer and he did fine. I usually try to get out ther eon Saturday morning But there are a few people talking about friday afternoon. I may just ride out saturday morning just to see how it is again.
