And which Airport would you be referring to exactly?
I would suggest that you join one of the local forums: e.g. The Orlando Jeep Club, Florida Jeep Offroad Alliance, Misfit Jeepers they will let you know as to where and when there are trail rides. After you socialize with them then you will be invited out to some of the Secret Squirrel Locations, until then be happy that we actually have open public areas to wheel just follow the rules or we will lose them. Remember that it was those few that came before you that carried the load to keep these areas accessible for you so respect that, if not you may just have some Old Rat Bastard roll up behind you and start too enlighten you to the ways of Treading Lightly………..

As for Swamp Ghost, SeaWorld aka NoMans Land did you run the inner loop and/or the outer loop, how about the fence line from the south property line all the way to the northeast power line and not the west side power line? That is the one that crosses over International Drive and has the spring and mud holes where the big mud trucks play, where Lil-**** ingested some H2O and it begat a 4.6L and/or Evolution #2 back in August of 02…….
Have you ever run into the guy or heard anything about him, that his development company controlled that area I also heard that he was a hard core wheeler, and some sharks in suits tried to sue them back in 03, 04 & 05 when several people and a LEO had mishaps on the property and/or while leaving it?
You should be happy that he was one of the proponents of state and federal statutes on Motorized & Non-Motorized Access for Recreational Use with Hold Harmless Liability Clauses for the Property Owner, thus The Open Gate Policy Statutes. Heard he’s been knocking on door and pressing flesh inside the Beltway for the cause of Shared Access to all Public Lands for Motorized and Non-Motorized Recreation. As well as in California and Utah doing the exact same thing, then in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia pushing for more Public ORV/OHV Parks and Areas for the last several years…………
Or did you just go there and wheel without knowing whether you where allowed to be there or not?

I was able to go back with the locals from Orlando. They have showed me a couple of secret places around the area and I'm grateful for that. Let them know I was coming up and they where more then willing to show me around. Plus, The looks I got driving into Disney the next day were priceless

Where is the entrance for swamp ghost off I drive? I'm working in Orlando today, specifically off I drive and was curious about what the entrance looks like.
