"mud"

Gonna try to make it up there again. Maybe with a running quad.

i will be there went to the last one had a blast

Whatever you did to the mud last time do it again. It was perfect. 8-10 quads coming down. We are lookiong forward to it.

My wife and I will be going. It's her B-Day on Sat. We can't wait.

i wont miss it this time , plus david allen coe bonus... I saw him last year up north ..pretty good but he doesnt play any of the funny stuff , guess its not politically correct! any how cant wait
all of us from naples are coming sould be like at least 20 of or more
Do they hav elec. hookups for RVs?

No electric hook ups..Sorry! We will also be there probably about 10 bikes. Looking forward to it.. Went last month and it was a blast. See ya all there!

where is MSG

http://www.l-cross.com/

Here is there web page. They have directions on it. In Okeechobee, FL.

cool thanks. got to see coe.

Mudmaster, This may be a stupid question but I've never been to the Mud, Sweat & Gears.  Is it a family event or is it more for adults????  Thanks, Fire803

playing in the mud,thrashing expensive toys,is'nt this family fun!!

There are quite a few kids out there. Lots of small 90s and 50s and kids riding full size quads too. Yes there are folks riding with bears in their hands. I have no tmet some biligirant or rude out there yet. Its actually relatively mellow there, which I enjoy. Everyone has a great time out there, plenty of room for everyone. There are some open areas away from traffic, for beginners too.

is there a way to reserve a campsite? Are there campsites to reserve or is it just pull up, park and play?!  

Also, do you ride your quad to the concert and watch it on the quad?

It is pretty much park and play

Hey guys
To answer jackintheboxes question.
No you can not bring your quad to the concert area. You have to leave it outside of the gate or in your camp.
No mud vehicles will be allowed in the concert consessions areas. we expect about 8500 harleys for the rodeo and we cant have people running back and fourth around 5 million $ worth of bikes!! So dont forget to bring your lawn chairs or blankets for the concert...
"mud"

And there will be another party goin' on out back friday and saturday night... Zin's bringin' the laptop loaded with MP3's and his gazillion watt stereo system. Hell, I may not even make it up front for the concert!

Bart

I didnt know there would be that many bikes there for Coe. Im talking about the Harleys'. So it wont be like every other time where we just rode our quads up to the stage area huh? Amazing, and sounds like lots of fun! Possibly really crowded though? But of course we will be there!

hell yeah!!  I may have to retire after this one...

i be there with you bart  should be a blast

i went to one in august and had a blast.. we are going with a group of 45 people from broward county...... just look for the  camp with the  white  "E"  sign. :)

hey Bart I'll right there havin a beer and getting muddy with ya. Hit me up on the 2-way.

I am tentatively able to go. My SO has some minor surgery scheduled for Friday, and if all goes well, I will head out Friday evening. She doesn't have a quad yet, so she wouldn't have come anyway:'(.  Lookin' forward to putting faces with the names.
Kurt

hey cowchick, can i join the broward convoy????

I plan on getting there friday morning.

Hey Guys
Don't forget the gates open @ 3 P.M.
I should be there by 12 noon and try to open early
"mud" 8)

Swamp Buggies too right? Cause it's probably no place for my 250R.

Thank you mudmaster. That would have sucked if I would have gotten there around 9 am and could not get in. I would have had to go fishing or something. I will be there in the afternoon now.

Hey we will be there friday afternoon ish!!! see yaa there. :P

Ill  be  there  with  a  bunch  of  people  

Thats Great!
Its going to be the biggest event yet!!!!!
Maybe now we can start building on some more events.

Hey 2fast4u it would be best for the buggie because we do not allow 3 wheelers and the 250R sounds like one.
"mud"

I'm bound to forget something everytime I camp. Is there a convenience store near L-cross?  

tony, Looks like am going. need to get to together and plan it.

Counting down the days.

I am to

Yes, a few miles in both directions.

I'm New to everything, how much does it cost to get in and dirty???

I'll call you tonight

http://www.l-cross.com/

MudMaster runs the show down there he'll give you the best info. Here is a link to the L-Cross home page for more useful info (map and pics). $25 for the weekend.

hey soflaeiger,
    sure but we are leaving friday morning.  let me know. ;D
michelle

I'll be there too!! First time out. See you all there.

10 DAYS ;)
does anyone know how far L-cross is from lake placid or highlands county?

Hi Everyone
We changed and added some bands for this event.
David Allan Coe is still going to play but we changed some of the starting bands.
Check out the changes @ www.l-cross.com/concerts.html
We even have someone playing on sunday.
"mud"

Mudmaster,

That is cool, having more bands. You will find that most of us are not there for the bands. We go to have fun, meet people (like yourself) and ride. The bands are an extra feature. I think that most of us enjoy the camping and riding. I also think that building on to the the ammenities would benefit all who enjoy the facility. You guys run a great place for the sport of off roading and it will only get better. Keep up the good work.

P.S. Here is an idea

I like the way you think. That is a great suggestion.

Let's see. 5 more days to go. Can we get more than three groups of folks to ride out with us on Saturday morning? I can meet anyone who wants at the old mcdonalds on royal palmbeach blvd. and southern on saturday morning. Want to get a early start.  ;D Custom will be there by then and have our camping area staked out. Come one come all. Gonna get the biggest F-in camp fire going that night.

I love bands. Anyway they can get gut-rot to play there?        

BTW - I am a full member now. What ever that means. Thanks ATVFlorida! You Rock! ;D

is tim going? heh...hows his neck?

you get the starter working

Been asking tim to go. I don't think he is going though. His neck and back are better. He has been working. Thanks for asking.

FordLovinDirtyGirl

I grew up in Jupiter Farms, if you dont mind me asking, who are you and who is your clan? My husband Dave and I are going with a group of like 10 but we moved up to PSL. Was just curious if I knew you guys.

Man I want to come out and ride just found out about this yesterday from my uncle brings hi truck out every month but darn I dont have a quad or a truck rite now hopefully I can find some one to go with

Grizzly159,
It's ol' Tiffany Webb, seen ya last mudfest and I'll see ya again!   :P :P :P

DirtyGirl

Maybe us folks alittle further south can meet up with yall and ride out.  

Sure I was hoping to head out noon time Friday, Im headed to work now so Ill get in touch with you later on this evenin on here  :P

I don't believe the gates open until three. FYI
I can't leave until sat. morning. See ya there!

Theyll be people there to open gates early, by the time i make all my stops and drive there itll b 3, LOL

what time do you think someone will be there opening gates?  I'd like to be in there earlier than three if possible.

Hey Tiffany

See Ya Andrea

][/color]just for the record.......I know of about 20 bikes coming with my group from loxahatchee,but wont get there until Sat am,also know about 30 ppl coming on harley'sbut leaving mine at home,so i can play in the mud!!!!   cya then

We will be leaving wpb area friday around 1-1:30 if anyone wants to convoy.

Hey Tiff,
Give me your two-way so that we can park near ya when we get out there Saturday morning. We are worried that we wont find a good place to park showing up a day late. Both bros are coming too. Cant wait to party with ya.
Ann

Yeh sure, aiiiiiight!!! Both Bros WWOOOOOhOOOO, aint seen mikey in forever?  but anyways  158*134267*5  or 561-262-1372........its on all the time, and yeh yall park by me no big deal, Im usually camping around Kris & Steve, the ones with the big ass white chevy w/dual rebel flags out the back named Psycho, we're headed out together and then I got a green chevy like your dads truck...but n e ways just Hollar at me (god that sounds ghetto) Buh bye!!!!!!!!

is there anyting suitable for sport bikes out there or is it 4x4 only or are there enough nice 4x4 people to pull the sport bikes out?

if you get stuck we will pull you out.

I'll pull you out, I aint skeerd, never under estimate the power of a HONDA Reman!!!!!!!!!!!  :P

are you aloud to ride into the night. i'm thinking about going out there for a little. I have off tomorrow and i have to work saturday morning at 10 so i can ride friday and leave at like 10 at night. Question is i don't wanna go there and ride until sundown and not ride anymore. So can we ride at night and will you guys be doing the same cause i don't wanna ride by myself.

you can ride all night long and there will be a few that will be doing just that

alright great. will i be able to leave at like 11pm-12am. i don't wanna leave no later then 1am if were having fun. last thing is MSG right off of 78 thanks.

don't u know it.

Hey tony you around. I've never been there but have hunted out that way but it would be nice to follow someone. I don't have your new number but if i don't hear from you on here then i'll just leave at 1 and take my chances. if thats the case according to Zins map of where everyone is i'll be in that area i drive a silver explorer sport trac and i'm bringing the honda 300. its green and black with 27 vampires yellow springs and a radio with 2 5" speakers and a 3 ft snorkel. Scream Keith and i'll putt on over.

Hey KEITH!!!!!!!!!! Its not hard to get there at all, but Ill look for ya and scream!!!!!!!!    :o :P

alright thanks. ya i use to hunt out in lake port which is south from buckhead ridge so if MSG is right off of 78 then i'll have no problem getting there.

You got it, I thinks its easiest to take B Line North to sr70, Left on 70, left on 441, right on 78, head out 12 miles and its on the right!!!!!!! see ya ther!!!! Im leaving now, ur welcome to call me if u need help 561-262-1372

BBF is already there, calling and taunting me.....

i'm gonna have to fling a cow patty at him.

I'm headed out right now!
Hope to see some of you. If you see sombody raising hell having fun, thats me!
B

let's see...if i pull out now, i could be there by 11pm...

dang i wish it wasn't 3 hours away!

Well  I  talked  to  my  cousin  and  he  said  that  they  were  turning  people  away  that  it  was  Full  and  that  was  at  1pm     GFuess  they need  a  bifgger  place  !!!!!!!!!!

Wow,well guess I'll be the 1st to chime in........I went,got there around 10:30am Sat......Can you say...overcrowded!

I cant say that I didnt have fun,but think it would be a whole ot more fun with about half the people,anyone know a head count,I heard rumors of around 15,000,i know it sure seemed like that,I asked one of the security guys if they were prepared fior that kinda crowd,and he said NO WAY,I know it was Mudfest,but man did I see alot of people(mainly punks around the age of 18-20 give or take) with no respect to other peoples property,"bumping" into other peoples trucks,like if there bike,truck,buggy,whatever was 4ft wide and the space they wanted to go through was 3 3/4 wide,they went anyway.......I guess one should expect that at an event that was so close to out of control.....that I think u might as well just say it was!

Would I go back......well yeah probably so,will definatly go back when their isnt a nat'l band and hopefully the crowd is half the size!

My group decided to get the hell out of there about 7pm,and on the way out we were pretty much told to go a way that was damn near impassable,the mud was so nasty,my grizz made it through several times,towed a few pople out and was going back for the last one in our group when it finally happened........I broke an axle.....knew it would happen sooner or later...stock axles and 29.5's dont mix.........Just ordered Gorilla axles about 20 mins ago..so that wont happen again!

Well lets hear  some more feed back!!!!

Way too crowded - I'll go back when all the hype dies down. Still had fun though.

to many people out the still have fun would go again

I  think  it  was  crowded  cause  of  the  David  Allan  Coe  Concert  and  the  Biker  Rodeo    I  heard  about  10,000 were  there  

Had a good time. We got there around 2pm Friday and there were more people there by then, then there was at last month's event. Way too crowded. I got ran into by some dude on a BF750 who as trying to fly out of a mudhole down a main road. A 13 y/o girl that cam with us got hit by a swamp buggy in the mud, it was crazy.

Thanks to the girls that helped my friend when he passed out, and fell off his bike into the mud, Saturday morning. They waited w/ him until the ambulance took him away. He sis doing fine now. He was at the hospital for about 6 hrs then released.

Does anybody know what was up with the girl who rode her horse up to they stage during the concert? She was pushing people out of the way so she could get a better spot I guess. I did understand why she was there at all, security??? or just a pain in the you know what. A guy eventually pulled her and  the horse out of the crowd though.  

We had alot of fun too.. But way to many people, we knew there would be alot but I guess we weren't prepared really! Wasnt even enough room to set up camp. We never even put up the tents. The MUD was fun, it got really bad later in the day on Saturday though. Couldn't beleive the way some people were riding and acting...Just add alcohol and instant A$$Holes appear. But you gotta take the good with the bad I guess. We enjoy going camping and riding and once a month its great! See ya all next month! Happy Easter!

I never seen so many idiots.I seen alot of muddy boobs for beads and beers, I had some redneck chic crash out in my truck with me.so can I get a hell yeah. I should of went to river rnch for the weekend and rode all weekend.

Moe     team quad green

I'm going to buy lot's and lot's of beads next time I go, J/K. So many people. I talked with the guys at the gate, and the only word they could say was OVERWHELMED. Yeah it was crowded, but I will be back.

HEY TRUEGRIT,I WAS ONE OF THE GIRLS HELPING PETE OUT,(I THANK THAT WAS HIS NAME?)IM GLAD HE IS FINE.WHAT HAPPEN TO HIM?SEEE YA

Pete is fine now, they are really not sure what happened to him (passed out or seizure) probably due to dehydration. Once he go the IV and other fluids in him he was good to go. He was deperate to come back that afternoon, but his mom drove down from St Cloud and took him home. That was scary, looking into his eyes and seeing nothing going on inside.

Thanks again to you and your freind. By the way I think he's in love with you now. JK

Hey Truegrit:
I am glad to hear pete is doing good. I was the medic that got to him when people came and got me.
I would also like to thank the girls that helped me with him.
You Girls did Great. and i think pete liked the attention!!

As for the rest of the event we are working to resolve a lot of road and camping problems. Mother nature thru us a suprise by dumping 6" of rain on us the day before opening. I killed about 400 acres of camping areas. We are working to fix these problems and hope to be done by the next major concert.
For the month of may we have the opening act for D.A.C.
"Jerry and the Hurrycanes" Thes guys ROCK!

And for the question of how many???
Its almost 10,000 and some hade to be turned away...
and for that I appoligize. The sheriff had to ask us to do that.
Hope to see ya' in April
"mud"

MudMaster I am sure everyone who attended appriciated all of your efforts. I am sure you and your staff were overwhelmed with the amount of people. I think you did a good thing by openning the back area so we could ride w/o so much congestion. I know it is not your fault but I do not understand why people feel the need to blare vulgar (foul language) music at 1 in the morning, or insist on making full throttle runs down the trails by folks sleeping all night.
Certain things can be expected with large crowds but it still hard for me to understand what makes those people tick.

Keep up the good work, We have all learned lessons for this experience.
Thanks again and see you next month.

If they allowed guns I garantee there would not be that many idiots doing the stuff you mentioned! ;D

I would have reduced that number by atleast four or five!

Maybe next time they can set aside an area separated by atleast 1/4 mile for families or people that want to get some peace and quiet. Set the time for the music and generators to be cutoff by 9 p.m.. All vehicle movement stops at 10 p.m.. Let all of the other wack-jobs run over each other etc. for all I care.

Just an idea.  

sounds good wilburz,but 10pm is a little early to stop having fun,maybe midnight would be a little more realistic!!

 I AGREE WITH 4XPLAY,YOUR JUST STARTING TO HAVE FUN AT 9:00.

HEY AGAIN KNOW PROBLEM FOR THE HELP,I WOULD WON'T SOMEONE TO HELP ME IF IT WAS ME IN A MESS.TELL PETE HI! DRINKING WATER IS VERY IMPORTANT WHEN DRINKING THE OTHER!NOW HE KNOWS. :P ;),

I think if there was a family section your rules can apply to that area, as for the rest  of us, we go to events like these to have a good time, no rules, sorry if were having too much fun   :P :P

I figured that would be where you would camp. ;D

 [smiley=Wink.gif]Im perfectly content with my wackjob self! I'll get my sleep when I'm dead  :-*

Maybe they can have a kiddy section too! :'(

When Underhill had his place kickin he had one, it was a great idea, them little kids on bikes make me nervous around all the trucks that either cant see em or dont pay attention to them. Maybe they can have events on another weekend for family folk only and have your rules plus probably no alcohol for that matter, be careful what you wish for...

i cant wate till the next one can you ride at night there and can you go evry where in there only to a certen section ?

Not letting four wheelers pass the gate really sucked. We had to go around through that hole that every 2wd got stuck in. They finally opened another gate even farther down. I wanted to follow my buddy in his buggy but couldnt. There was to many people there, but it was still fun and I'll be back again. Got some great video. Has a great weekend. If you haven't been yet, it's worth making the trip for.

Wilburz and I rode the entire area from the mudhole to the front several times. I know that near the wash area got to the point you needed a 4wd. The west gate was not that bad if you watched where you went. Wilburz has a 2wd and did not get stuck going back and forth.

I do not know about having a time to stop vehicles but more control over the speed limit would be good. Hauling a$$ down the main trails at 1 am or anytime is not safe. The only thing that I really would comment on was the lack of security. I loved the event and will continue to go. I do not think that there was enough people there to direct traffic which caused most of the problems that I saw. I will be there next month. Other than that I thought that it went pretty well. I had plenty of room to camp and rode all over the place.

fordluvin> where did you camp ?

Um w/ the people that own PSYCHO if u paid attention to that truck, big white chevy with dual rebel flags, or if u cam in the main road pass the wash off over the bridge and where the road split left and right, take the road on the right bought half way down, i was on the left  :-)   you?

I set up camp right next to the port o lets...boy was that nice.  ;D ;D

had to get out of there on Sunday morning at 8am though otherwise I'd have been stuck there all day waiting for mud to dry.

Hello everyone:
Yes, We were overwhelmed!!!! the next time we have a major concert there will be at least 3 times the security!
We are working on the roads and drainage problems as we speak.
We hired an engineer to help with the traffic problems from the road to the gates so that we can get more people of the Highway.
And we will hire more gate staff for these big events so that we can move people much faster.
Like I have told many of you, We are going to put our profits back into the park and make things even better. With more events and concerts.
I am working on an ATV Rodeo just for all the 4-wheelers and utility vehicles. Details coming soon!!!
"mud"

Thank you for taking a lot of our suggestions to heart. I am sure if you asked for some cheap labor (volunteers) to help in any way we could find some. Just ask, you could probably get a good sized fro to help on an off weekend.

Heck  Iam  sure  some  of  us  would  help  if  ya  need ed  us  !!!!!

Sounds good Mr. Mudmaster.........the mudholes along the "roadways" kind made it fun,but I'm sure the folks who had motorhomes and travel trailers back there didnt think it was much fun some Sunday.........If there isnt already,you might think about renting a grader or frontend loader(or buying an older one)

So can you tell us if anyone was seriously hurt out there,the way some people were driving/riding,it's a wonder someone wasnt killed,the 2 wheelers were zipping in and out of traffic like crazy........Did amyone know who the idiot was on the harley that was in and around the mudholes,either he was as stupid is as stupid does,or he had more money then he knew what to do with,becuase like I said before,that just wasnt the place for a HD.......

You were camped with Steve (Twisted Pyscho) from west palm area? That is wierd I was in that camp most of the weekend. My friends with trucks and buggies were camping with Steve. They were the ones with the travel trailers and motorhomes. I can't wait until next month.

Thank you Mudmaster. You throw one heck of a party. I especially loved DAC. Mrs. Pierce, asked who we want to see up there next. Since DAC is coming back in Oct, any chance Palm Beach resident, Kid Rock could join him? This would be right up his alley.
Then after that, Call Hank Jr.

Custom,
Did ya happen to see the Grreen Ext  Cab Chevy up on the trailer at that camp, that was mine, as well as the purple tent inside the circle of them campers, LOL, next time  say  Hey TUFF!!! The youll get my a ttention, but  Im usually pretty tuned up  so it may take me a second to proces it, LOL Or ask Steve  and Kris of Twisted Psycho where TuFF  is, they usually kno!!!!!!!

they already do!! Mud bogg for kids only!!

right next to where u pay so they always have someone near by.

-shadow

I have seen the signs and the small area, but I never see anyone use it. It is a great idea too.

mudmaster let me know I have connection to get a sled

Hey team_quad_green
Yes i am interested!!
I have the classes and rules from an out west atv rodeo and there rules work for us. It has classic rodeo events and some for us mudders and show offs!
e-mail me with a phone # and we can see what we can set up.  generalmanager@l-cross.com

Thanks
