Come out and join PAR for its annual gathering. Everyone is welcome. Even if you're not riding come out and see what's happening around the Pensacola area. This is a no fee event. **Ride at your own risk**. If you do not have adequate insurance suggest you do NOT ride.
Northwest Florida Enduro Riders has the GPX tracks posted on their website. Go to Trax, Blackwater River State Park. There are dual sport, adventure, and street only rides.

All rides (except street ride) are short loops designed to get you back to campsite within ONE TANK. There is no food or gas available on these rides. Riders are encouraged to form their own small group and venture out for their own experience.
Primitive Camping Only There are BATHROOMS AND SHOWERS on site.
***Take out what you brought in!***
Plenty of camping space for large rigs (easy access). Trot Camping to the Right as you Come in. This is a public site so there may be others there.
Tent camping down close to river, hammock camping in special wooded area and then generator camping closer to the entrance. It will be obvious when you get there. Motels and everything else are in Crestview and Milton (exits 45 and 55 on interstate) each about 20 miles from campsite. Good food and gas in Baker FL about 10 miles from campsite.
There are many ways to get to the site but the best way (meaning the most pavement) is from Norman Riley Road and then East on Corduroy Rd improved dirt road for about 1 mile and then another mile down two lane to Wilderness Landing. There will be LARGE SIgns.
Bring your own food and gas to the site. Hope everyone can make it.
Stolen from @ineptizoid:
The Turkey Trot a is a long-running fee-free event. Camping is free at Wilderness Landing, and there's even a bathhouse with hot showers, amazingly enough. I've never seen a free public campground with facilities like that anywhere else, ever!
Bring yer own food if ya wanna eat. Bring yer own booze if ya wanna drink.
Bring yer own motorcycle if ya wanna ride.
Firewood always comes in handy. Closest grub, beer, and gas is ~8 miles away in Baker. This is a guaranteed good time or triple your money back!:D
