"ATTENTION FAMILY CAMPERS WITH SMALL CHILDREN"

[Patricia Pearce]

L-Cross now has a camping area just for you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Featuring a small track with jumps and all!!  You have your own personal mud hole, too!!  Away from the Big Boys with their Big toys. This area
is strictly for small children and their families!  Located in the far Northeast
corner of the park. Bring the kids and their toys and enjoy camping in the woods under Florida's star swept skies!!

Thankyou,

  Thanks for sharing, Pat.
  I just got back from a short "time wise" ride down at "3 lakes W.M.A."
with a couple other members here....and I saw a few other little buggers (kids under 9 years old) riding quads.  Those kids were supervised quite well and appeared to be able to handle their rides with no problem.
   Kids need to have a place to ride also.....and maybe if L-cross is a HIT, other places may join in! Lets hope so.

I can't wait to see the little ones play in the mini park!  Mark and the boys spent alot of time planning and building it. I think it is a great addition to the park.  We are always open for suggestions.  We will try to accomidate
any thing with in reason for all to have a better time!

Thanks,

The track seems like a really good idea. Just be ready to rebuild it every week before an event.

Great Idea though.. I know if I was a little guy, I would be all over that stuff.

Question though, how much fun could a serious sport guy have out there? I see alot of mud, and when I see mud.. I think how much $$ is it going to cost me to go through that..

[Patricia Pearce]

svtbolt04,

It all depends on you and what you have to tear up!  I think we have seen it all, from Hummer's that were only 2 hours old to cadilacs in the mud pit.

But you don't have to tear it up, at least not on purpose . You can stay on the edges and have a challenge, or really go for it and go all the way across.  Not to many people make it across with out getting stuck, just
make sure you have a good snatch rope and others will help you get out.

There are trail rides too if you don't want to get all muddy. They go 20
miles to the old Kissimmee river and back to the park.  Nice scenery and
cattle,nature & lots of different types of birds to see as well.

[Patricia Pearce]

Perfect weather for the family to come try out the new kiddie park this
weekend. Come play and camp in your own new section.

Weather man say's it will warm up to the 70's this weekend!

[svtbolt04]

Sorry, another question. I ride a pretty modded sport quad, and those trails seem like somthing I would like to do. Is the trail a one way type of thing, and how packed could it get, incase I open it up a little, will I have to worry about oncoming traffic?

Thanks for the previous post, and I know about people with the hummers, seen it at felda.

[Patricia Pearce]

When you go on the long trail rides up to the old kissimmee river everyone is going together so no there is not any on comming traffic and you can go as fast as you feel safe remember these are natural trails not paved roads they are uneven and have bull holes as well as ditches in them, but no on comming traffic.

If you ride in the front pasture several people ride out there that want to go fast but again pasture and bull holes.

some people ride on the shell roads there are about 1 mile of these in the front you can go fast on but please be safe!!!

In the camping park and around the mud hole there is a 5mph speed
limit that is ENFORCED! Alot of people and children so don't be stupid there
you will get in trouble.

[themensh]

I just checked out www.l-cross.com

  Allot of pictures of mud and quads that have snorkels. My quad has no snorkels etc....are there trails that go around the DEEP soupy stuff?

  Thanks for the GPS co-ordinances on the website.   (sounds like a road trip in the future).

    chuck 'roast

[qt314nfla]

The trail ride we generally follow one another and stay in a line.  The bull holes can get you for sure and they are quite hidden at times.  The last trail had some good mud w/ alot of ppl stuck but they took the 2wd quads on another trail around the mud and met back up w/ us.

As for being snorkeled.  I've rode there several times and I'm not snorkeled.  There are PLENTY of muddy places you can ride w/o a snorkel.  There are however a few GOOD holes that swallow trucks.  If you ride w/ the group in the mud holes you'll learn very quickly where you can and can't go depending on your quad set up.

It's alot of fun and I wish I could go but I sank mine in another hole last weekend and will be rebuilding the rear diff this weekend.  Have fun for me if you go.

[Patricia Pearce]

Thanks QT I couldn't have said it better!

SEE!!!!  We need more business people to do this!  Maybe inter-connect the trails?
  Good luck Patricia...........I hope you get allot of support ($ also) from the members of this site.  Maybe even make note of the site in a prominant
area of your business?
   I am looking forward to visiting you all.

[Patricia Pearce]

SORRY, you won't be able to get your advance tickets to the DAVID ALLAN COE concert this weekend, the proofs won't be in till Monday. They will be available at the Feb. event and at the Adult weekend the first weekend in March.  Also check the web site next week to see where we will be selling them in your area.

[Patricia Pearce]

We had a HUGE crowd this weekend ,KIDDIE PARK was a success!! Go to the web site and look at Jan,06 pictures and the new videos. Alot
of new faces and a really Great time.

Thanks,

Patti P

[Patricia Pearce]

We got alot of thankyous for this, not only do the kids have a place to play away from the big boys, but also their families can camp away from the others right around the kiddie park and watch the kids play from the camp site. It was perfect.. Check out the home page of the web site and you can see a video of some of the first kids playing there!!

wwwl-cross.com

[Patricia Pearce]

We will be marking off the family camping area with signs and maybe a little yellow tape so the families can kind of camp in a circle around the track and mini mud hole. That way it won't be so inviting for the bigger kids,
have you ever noticed when you ask people to not do something it seems to make them want to do it more.  If I was a big kid I would not have been seen dead playing in a KIDDIE PARK.  But as always there are a few, that just have to do it. They just uprooted some of the tires we will fix it.

Thank,

[Patricia Pearce]

  :)Are we related SCOTT PEARCE? Yes this is a family weekend and we have a great band "WILD CARD" for dancing SATURDAY NIGHT 8:00pm.

Patti Pearce

[SWAMP_DONKEY]

I do not know?? I have been to your events every weekend when you first started and stopped going when the price doubled and it was no longer a family place to ride but more like the 12 hours of sebring Family weekends are a very good Idea. I used to come and give hats out to everyone as I work for Alan Jay Automotive in Sebring. Anyhow GREAT Idea.!!!

SWAMP DONKEY

[Patricia Pearce]

Swamp Donkey,
 Prices have NOT doubled!!! It is still $30.00 to stay the weekend, the only difference IS PEOPLE HAVE TO PAY IT UP FRONT NOW !!!! THEY used to come in on Friday for $10.00 say they were just spending the evening and you would catch up with them and 1,500 more people on SUNDAY morning that had been there ALL WEEKEND for just $10.00!! But you still had to have EMS, SECURITY and every thing else you need for a safe and fun weekend!! The price is $30.00 for Adults for the whole weekend, $5.00 for kids 12 and under, for the Whole weekend or Sunday you can come in for 15.00, actually Saturday night at 12.01 you can come in for $15.00's.
We used to charge 10.00 on Friday, 15.00 on Saturday, and $15.00 on Sunday That's $45.00! Now we get $30.00 for the whole weekend or $15.00 for Sunday. So, tell me how the PRICE HAS DOUBLED???
the price is less,,the only difference is.....we are getting paid!!!

Patti, the first time that I brought my kids down there I was charged $25 for me and my two kids. It may have been a special event as its been a long time back, I'm not for sure. That was $75, I almost fell out. The lady at the gate had told us that it was $25 a piece for everyone, including babies. I know it has changed now but it did put a bad taste in my mouth at that time. Especially since the website said different and I had drove so far. It took me a little while to decide to give it another chance but now that I have and now look forward to the events.

[Patricia Pearce]

Yunt,
That might have been the DAVID ALLAN COE concert last year. The reason we did not honor the $5.00 admission price for kids on that weekend last year as well as this year is... We don't encourage families to bring small children to the really big events! So, if they have to pay the same price as an Adult maybe they will get a Babysitter and have a good time. There are too many people at the really big events and even with security tripled and triple EMS though it has neer happened we are worried about little ones not being seen by all!!!
Thanks,
Patti P

[yunt2ride]

It probably was at the Coe concert because it was packed. I did not hear anyone say that the price was gonna be different for that event so that is why it cault me off guard.

[Patricia Pearce]

I'm sure it was, because that is the only event in the past that we charged $25.00 for everyone. This March 17, 18 & 19 DAVID ALLAN COE concert is the same way! If you buy your tickets on line in advance they are $25.00 for all ages or take your chances at the gate for $30.00 per person. We have it posted on the web site that way as well as the Radio.

Thanks,

Patti P

[SWAMP_DONKEY]

Patti,  I have to tell you the last time I went down there was on a sunday and THE COST WAS 30.00 for the one day. I only had 28.00 on me as I was prepaired to spend 15.00 to get in for one day of riding (some of you may remember this post, the cost of MUD) I had to give someone @ the gate 28.00 and my DL, go inside hope I could find someone to use 2.00 so I could get my licence back and all that to ride for a few hours was not worth it. I have no idea what you had on Sat night I was there for one day SUNDAy and 30.00 was too much even 28.00 was too much. Yes you are getting paid, very well.  I am glad people have a place to go ride but I was explaining what i had gone through with the DOUBLE PRICE issue and it WAS DOUBLE!!! I was only telling you why I was unhappy as I would wish people to tell me if they were unhappy with my service. If you take offence to that I am sorry, I guess I  wont be attending your family day after all.

Swamp

[Patricia Pearce]

  :)No offense takin at all!! That just Re-enforces why we don't have some of the ORIGINAL EMPLOYEE'S any MORE!! Sure is an expensive lesson for everyone!! Just wish you would have  found Mark or MYSELF AND TOLD US THEN!! That way we could have caught the THEIF REDHANDED!! Rest assure WE never saw the double admission fee.!! Swamp, p.m. me with more details on this person who charged you double.I hope they are not still on my staff!!

SORRY!
Patti P

[yunt2ride]

Swampdonkey, give it another chance, I did and I am glad i did. I did not know it was the David Allen Coe weekend and that is why I was shocked. At that time I did not know who to talk to about it. Now that Patti is on here a lot and I have personally met her and her husband Mark. They are good people and you cannot beat a $30 a weekend for riding. If you ever have a problem all you need to do is go to the stage and ask for Mark or Patti and let them know your problem or what would be good at the next event. They are open to suggestions as they want their place to be the best there is. Also Mark and Patti is the owners so you won't be talking to just someone in charge. We drive 4 hours one way to go every other month and by the time the second month gets here I am more then ready to go.

[Patricia Pearce]

If anything like this has happened to any of you or in the future you think something is not right all you have to do is ask for MARK or PATTI PEARCE and if for some reason WE are not there ask for HEAD of SECURITY MR. HOMER MURPHY he is a REAL GLADES COUNTY DEPUTY and HE NEVER leaves the grounds once the gate is open DURING ANY EVENT!! HE will call US immediately!!!

LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL!!!

Thanks, Matt

All of their family events have concerts.  It's just that some bands are larger names than others.  I hope you will reconsider going.  They have a family area for ppl with small children.  Unless ppl have kids that won't listen or stay near by where the parents can watch they will be safe.

[yunt2ride]

On another note. The 20 foot wide bridge is now 40 feet wide.

[Want2Ride2]

I'm so looking forward to april 21st weekend, only 2 more weeks left, i know my kids are very excited, yunt and the kids will be there pretty early, but I will be there friday night about 9.30pm, just in time for the concert.
