After seeing what the GA boys have been up to this past fall I've been considering a meet some time in later Feb before it gets to hot.
My father (a avid forum wall fly) has 100 acres plus in west Orlando which would be prefect for a weekend get together / trail ride / BBQ / camp out / what ever... He has been daring enough to offer the place up to us if we would like to put our MV's up to the test.
Any takers on plotting a road trip say Feb 24-25?
EDIT FROM A LATER POST...
The meet will be held in Clermont, FL which is about 45 minutes west of Disney world.
All SS members and families are welcome... I would also like to extend and invitation to the local Pinz and Mog community in the area!! Reguardless of your ride, don't feel bad if your iron is down and out, we would love to have you there and there's always room to hitch a ride for the trail rides. GA guys please don't be shy, its about 2 hours by MV!!!
The location is central to the state with access via the FL turnpike, 75, I4, Hwy 50 and Hwy 27... No matter where your coming from the "long haul" of the trip is highway.
GPS, Google Earth and Map savvy guys... 28* 24'18.18" N and 81* 51' 53.08" W .... This is 2 - 2.5 miles west of Seminole Lake Glider Port off of Hwy 33 in Lake county.
The property is located approximately 2 miles off of the pavement on a un managed road... Its drivable by any vehicle but getting there is like a trail ride in its self!
Pending the response a pig roast will be in order on Friday evening... Hot dogs and hamburgers Sat afternoon /eve... Otherwise its up to you.
I am planning a weekend out of it...IE Rough camping (be honest with yer spouse boys)... I will bring a 15KW gen set for dusk use only (no one wants to listen to that day and night), Travel trailer, tents, your cab, all is fair game and there is plenty of room. The nearest hotels are in Kissimmee, FL and about 45 mins by deuce. Firewood is everywhere for collection; grills, charcoal are not needed but its up to you.
Firearms are welcome but due to safety issues we will set up a range and open it on Saturday afternoon for a few hours... Other wise I must ask that they stay securely out of sight and out of mind in you vehicles AT ALL TIMES!!! Were shooting for a family event here, no pun intended. You C3 guys are more than welcome to shake the dust off your stuff, please mind your stamps blah blah blah..
ATV's, golf carts, etc are welcome to responsible riders.
Pets are welcome but be mindful of your fellow MV'ers their wives, children other pets and wildlife that can get hungry (not kidding).
Cellular service is generally lost within approximately 10 miles of the property... Verizon customers whom want to climb a tree at 12AM MIGHT get a call out... your text / sms service generally works 24/7... Other wise I know of no other carrier with signal in the area.
There is enough mud to loose a division of tracked vehicles in and more trail to be blazed than we could possibly drive in a weekend. The property offers some respectable obstacles (for Florida...lol) and plenty of good solid ground for those whom don't like "testing" their MV's.
