Went down to the Half Moon Wildlife area between Wildwood and Inverness


We rode north to one of the Tram trails. From the map I thought we could find "Gum Slough" which looked like it ran to the Withlachochee River. Never found it but did have a nice ride. Some sand...but not real bad.

most of the trail was either grass or shell rock road

We did run into a few downed trees but we easily got around them.

We also came across a historical marker out in the middle of nowhere. Also saw remnants of some warehouses and loading areas used back when there was a farm there.

There were a few grates we had to go over in some areas. Had to be careful not to stop on top of them or the tires might get caught. This area looked out over a pond.

Nice ride overall. About 12 miles. Very warm but also very windy. In fact, on the way back we were headed into it.
I think we might ride this one again as there were several other trails that we didn't take that we might want to try. Although we did see quite a few that were very sandy. I'm starting to really hate sugar sand!
