[jjamesbar]

To answer jjamesbar, this site donated awhole bunch of toys, about 4 shoppingcarts full, and all the cash you guys spent on the tshirts was donated.
That plus some extra donations brings the monetary total to $450. Great job folks, I hope to see that kind of effort at the next group ride.

thats better than i expected. great job everyone. you should do a post in general discussion to let everyone know. truly awsome.

Yes and it takes a lot of beer, my Rhino only gets about 5 miles to the beer

it only got that good last time because we ran out of beer.

for the sport guys riding with us utes, we avoided the deepest water trails on the last ride because of time restraints (and we ran out of beer) if things go right we will be heading straight for them on this one. ive seen some sports make it through (around) most of the deep water.

I made it through everything on the last ride with my Trailblazer.  It wasn't bad at all on the last ride.  This ride though I will have the new one, so I still shouldn't have a problem.

[girlieblazer]

I know one thing if gas prices get any higher we will be backing out.  It is $2.99 a gallon at most gas stations where we leave, a few are over the $3.00 mark.  The prices are making it so we can't even fill up the quads.

[mudmonkey]

is it september 30th yet    ?!!? i wanna ride to make up for last time! and just because i want to ride     ! lol

[450RRRR]

just wondering if anyone has got what it takes to lead the sport quads..i know the mud is fun , but i would really like to open it up a little.. just wondering if anybody on a sport knows there way around..
sound s to me like the utes are wanting to get a lot deeper than we went last time. and thats to deep for me on a sport. you other sports might want to keep that in mind. they said in an earlier post that they are going straight to deep mud.and that maybe more than a sport can take..most arent water tight   ect...
i guess i just want to make sure we have a leader for the sport quads as well. its a long trip up for us.and we have to do it in a day because of pets.really wanting to cut loose and have a good time

[Pat]

Here's a gas question...what do you all do about the gas situation? Do you come back to re-fuel? Reason I ask is that I don't have anywhere to carry a fuel tank on my YFZ.
Thanks,
Pat

[450RRRR]

hey pat, you would be surprised at the distance you can get on a tank..i was worried last time and got a gas can rack for the back.. never had to use it. you may want to get a way to carry some food and water though. you will need it out there.

[GSPKurt]

Sam's has a nice Jansport hydration pack with storage pockets. Black, for $20 or $25 I got one and can't believe how much I use it!

JG

[qt314nfla]

Meet at Eureka Dam at 8am then riding at 9am usually.

[Jeffgre]

Great!!!

Can I ask a favor?? If I'm coming from Orlando...actually Lake Mary, what are the directions to get to the meeting spot? Any help would be great!!!!

Also, I have a 1986 350x 3-wheeler I'd like to bring. Is this going to be a deep mud ride?? If so, I'll bring my other bike.

Thanks!!

JG

Hey Jeffgre,
I live right over in Sanford. I take 46 and head west (over the Wekiva River bridge). Then go on 46 past Mt Plymouth and after you pass the BP gas station on your left go a few more miles and look for rd 437 (a blue sign I think) on your right. Take that Rd north and make a left when you run into the next main rd 44. Take 44 west and you will hit hwy 19. Go north on 19 and you will past Umatilla and Altoona and enter the Ocala Forest. Keep going for a ways like 30 minutes maybe. Your going to go past hwy 40 and will actually be alongside Lake George even tho you can't see it. When you get to about where the top of Lake George is on a map you are going to make a left onto rd 316 going west. This is the road Eureka Dam is off. You take this road a ways and it's the last road (I believe its "N 160th ave rd") on the right before you go over a huge bridge over the Ocklawaha River. If you cross over the bridge just turn around and go back thats what always happens to me..lol

Here is a link to mappoint that shows rd 316. http://mappoint.msn.com/(rhdnmgv15fa4eizglzod23qx)/map.aspx?L=USA&C=29.37188%2c-81.90865&A=41.56667&P=|6217C|&TI=Eureka%2c+Marion%2c+Florida%2c+United+States
