4th of July

[trailrider77]

Anybody want to get together and go riding on the 4th of july anywhere like 5A or Croom?

[little blue 300]

Count me in for 5A ! I am unable to pull my heavy trailer very far. I need a truck, but don't have any extra money.     Larry

I'm in on this one... no chance I will have to work this time!!!

[trailrider77]

what time are you guys thinking of meeting up?

[little blue 300]

It's going to be hot, so I go early. I probably will be there at 7-7:30 AM. If you go later, I will keep checking the parking lot for you. Larry

what time are you guys thinking of meeting up?

Wow! You have a long way to come! It may take you 3 hours to get here.

It's at exit 231 on I-95 near Scottsmoor.

[trailrider77]

im an early bird so i will be there around 730 unless i get lost lol

[trailrider77]

i keep trying to google map that exit off i95 and im coming up empty handed.

cool that was very helpful is there a gas station or somewhere you want to meet at?

[little blue 300]

There's a big parking lot on the west side of that exit and that's where everybody parks. Just park there and let me know what your vehicle is and I will look for you.

I'm easy to find as I drive a blue Hyundai with a 14 foot trailer. I'm the only car out there that pulls a trailer. It's really too much for the car, but I only have 8 miles to travel.

There's a Stuckys on the east side of that exit that has a gas station, but their gas prices are pretty high.

Are you going to make it

[trailrider77]

Hey lil my wife is a beginner do you think it would be ok for her to come or is it pretty rough out there?

[little blue 300]

My wife's a beginner also and she rides out there all the time. She is visiting our daughter in NC now or she would be there with us.

Sometimes on holidays, the really big trucks invade the place, but they go to one place and they play in the mud. We just go on the trails and keep away from them. They could run over you and never know it. 

I'm going tomorrow and I will let you know the conditions when I get home.

Larry

[trailrider77]

Thank you Larry she'll be happy to know she could come hopefully there won't be to many trucks cause I like to play in mud also lol

[little blue 300]

We'll find you some mud to play in back at moose pond. That's where alot of the ATV's go to play. I can't do the mud as I only have 2 wheel drive, but I'll watch you.

Yesterday I went to 5A and there's some water along some of the trails, but not really too bad. The dust wasn't too bad either, but by Wednesday I'm sure it will be worse.

I do suggest an early meeting if at all possible, cause it got hot in the afternoon. It doesn't look like we are having a very big turn out for this group ride. I guess most people have other plans already made.

Larry

[trailrider77]

cool i plan on leaving here at 5am that mapquest you sent me shows its about 2 1/2 hr ride

[little blue 300]

Great! I will plan on being there by 7:30 AM. Larry

[asmart82]

Not gonna make it. Have to go to a funeral on the 4th in GA

[pepito113]

Would love to go. But the family decieded to get together and do a beach gathering on 4th of july. I always watch the threads on group rides. I live in south florida and not alot of places to ride unless I ride north.

[little blue 300]

Sorry that you two can't make it ! Maybe next time ! Larry

[352guy]

[trailrider77]
