you guys are driving my "Southern Indiana Discovery Overland Route"! It is on Gaia with public tracks on! I designed a more than 700 mile route across southern Indiana to have something to do with my late grandfather...

We will definitely pull that up and check it out. Thanks, Rob!

The lodge 😍…rich with history throughout the whole place. That explosion when turned up…almost sounded like you could hear stuff hitting afterwards. I thought the same as Deb about the deer. Free venison somewhere lol. Thanks jimmy for the pen hole trick, I’d never heard of that. And yes y’all got some great photos of the eclipse 👍👍

My daughter and I camped at Clifty Falls State Park near Madison. We watched the eclipse in Versailles State Park. We did the exact same roads in this video. I have a Rubicon2023 4xe. Bee Camp Creek Road is one of the trails. Bloody Run Road was the other. Nice scenic roads with minimal challenges.

Wow! My brother retired from the Marine Corpse as a EOD. Later after his retirement, his new job was cleaning up old bomb sites and ranges. I cannot believe seeing all those unexploded shells exposed that this is place is still allowing visitors. Guys this is serious stuff and cannot believe it is open for the public. Please call the authorities. Prayers being sent.

It is not open to the public. We had an escort with a special permit to be there.

The JPG looked like an awesome place to explore. Definitely need a Jimmy who knows the area and has the keys. I wonder how long it will take someone in the government to decide to limit access to the JPG. At least vehicle access. We will have to research the area.

Hey guys watching another of your videos... the proving grounds are right up the road from where my husband was born and raised ... (Otisco Indiana ) sure did not know they were open to trailing... We were wondering if you had any suggestions for central Florida (where we live now). We have a 2022 Jeep Wrangler 2 door...

Thanks for watching. The Proving Grounds are not open to the public. We had a guide and special permits. Look at the Florida Adventure Trail.

I've flown around that area several times but haven't ventured in due to it still being restricted airspace. Looks like a great place to do some exploring! Great video as always guys. Glad to see you got your truck back up and running.
