This year, we have challenged ourselves to go after and acquire as many Jeep Badge Of Honor badges for our rigs. With the weather in Atlanta in the mid 30's, this seemed like the perfect time to head south and pick up Florida's only Jeep badge. Just outside of Orlando, located in Ocala National Forest is the Tread Lightly Trail.

The Tread Lightly Trail is classified as a 1-4 on the Jeep Badge Of Honor. While this adventure is not packed full of giant rock gardens, switch backs and cliff sides, it does have its own unique challenges known only to Florida like soft sugary sand that almost acts like quick sand, a few water forging sections that are very soft at the bottom from sitting stagnate for so long and very very tight pathways that will for sure leave its mark on the side of your Jeep.

We spent 3 days in Ocala and explored much of what this 18 mile National Forest had to offer. While on our exploration, we came upon a Navy Bomb Testing Area in which we were able to catch a couple of F18 fighter jets flying maneuvers over the base, shooting large 50 cal shells at ground targets. The kind of stuff you only see in movies and tv shows.

Join us on our 3 day adventurer, 5 hrs south of Atlanta as we take on the Tread Lightly Trail and obtain our Jeep Badge Of Honor badges.
