Who is going out to Holy Lands on May 1st.  [smiley=drive.gif]April 30th is the last day for small game and on the 1st the REAL mud opens up.  [smiley=Clap.gif]Who's going to be out there for the "celebration" of getting our area back! [smiley=Approve.gif]

well, according to you, it's been open for almost a month ;)  hehe it opens APRIL 30th, not march :)

i'll be there i think!!

I know Brian! I am losing my mind!!!!!!!! [smiley=Wacko.gif]

I think I can manage to come. Can't say no to a party :D

Manage to come? It is going to be a blast.... I hope you have a good bike, with the rain and nobody being back there for a month, it's going to be awesome!

may 1st or april 30th ?

may 1st is when the north side opens. be prepared there will be four tracs out there with water ballons aiming at the riders. i heard that from someone in the airboat/four tracs club. but they shoot these ballons with something, but i dont know what. we will be wet and muddy anyway, so big deal a water balloon hits us..
bring it on...
the mud

Where is the Holy Lands, never been there. Might be up my alley

robert, the guy on the airboat, was tellin us they fill the balloons with a nasty smelling perfume, so ya, getting hit sucks!

It is will be awesome... Stop being babies (Brett, lol)! Holy Lands is right off or 27 on the West Plam Beach/Broward County Line. It is the best place to ride in Broward, that's if you know where to ride there!

I'll be there been awhile since ive been riding seems like a good time to start again !!!! gray Excursion & 2 ranchers see ya there

So where riding sunday may firsy im in. I just gotta get a calender for riding dates hehe.

I'll be there. Be camping on Saturday at the Rotenberg Pump House.

If it's cold, we will be camping also. but if it isn't.... I don't want to deal with the bugs all night!

I can sleep in the truck with the A/C on, but I'm sure sleep will be the last thing on my mind :)

I will let you know if we are camping. We camped this past Saturday night and it was nice.... And no bugs! [smiley=Approve.gif] [smiley=ThumbsUp.gif]

You camped Holey Lands or MS&G? I was at the Holey Lands all Sunday.

Camped Holy Lands. We were there at 7 pm on Saturday and left around 12 on Sunday because my boyfriends radiator hose blew a leak and we didn't have any tools with us!

In the morning we were trying to help pull out some Fords on the South side of the levee. Had the torque, just not the weight to get them out. Spent most of the day exploring. Probably saw you and didn't even realize it.

Probably! What were you riding?

Red Rancher. Red cooler on front, yellow bag on back.

Dark green arctic cat 650 and yellow honda foreman

Seen a lot of Yellow Foremans, but only one Green Artic Cat Where you down on the South side?

Yea the North is closed until the 1st. That is why we are having the Poker Run. All the other yellow Foreman's came from the pop up out there with the guy that has the rack on top of his truck!

 ;D ;D :D

Hey JD how is your shoulder doing?

Still hurts ,but atleast I can move it around a little .

That's good. Did Brandon tell you what happened to his bike?

the "PUMP HOUSE" Hey asphalt will u be there  

Rotenberg Pump House is 6 miles West of the Pump House everyone is use to. Good for camping, not much for riding. Wanna do some fishing when not riding.

Sounds like a nice place to ride ...how do you get there from naples? And about how far? Is there good / safe places to park?
sorry for all the questions
Thanks Randy

are you  guys camping out there sat the 30th or sun the 1st ?

We take 75 to US 27 North. Take US 27 North to the Palm Beach/Broward Line and make a left at the sign that says Rottenberger. It is not that far from naples. It is safe to park out there!

If we camp it will be Sat the 30th. We can;t on Sunday because we work during the week! [smiley=Cry.gif]

I cant wait !!!! QQQQQQ   [smiley=drive.gif]   [smiley=baby.gif]   [smiley=drink.gif]   [smiley=lecture.gif]   [smiley=kiss.gif]

Lol! Lots of  [smiley=drink.gif] and [smiley=drive.gif]

lets hope for nice cool weather & LOTS  of riding & gettin' stuck winching out is soooooooo much fun !!!!! ;D

Winches are for babies! They are last resort.... We don't even have a winch. I am the first in the mud to start pushing!!!  ;D

thanks I can't wait to check that place out ...Seems like thats all
thats left...I gonna try to gather up some naples boys for a group ride out there soon, maybe for the 15th...do people run swamp buggies out there?

Yes there are Swamp Buggies. Mainly for hunting when it comes to the Holey Lands.

Yea and since it is rainy season there a lot of airboats! We followed an airboat all the way through the saw grass! Ain't nothing you can't do on an Artic Cat! [smiley=Wink.gif]

Except fly :)

Don't want to fly just want to go through lots of mud!!!!!!

My kind of girl!  :)

Yea, I guess I am someone else's kind of gurl too. That is one of the reasons my boyfriend and I are together!  [smiley=Star.gif] My lack of "girly" techinques and my country girl attitude! [smiley=Hug.gif]

Yeah the good ones are always taken :)

Sorry bout that!  [smiley=dunno.gif]

Don't be. Just being nice :)

I know.... Maybe if we all go on a group ride you can meet a girl "just like me!" [smiley=hotty2.gif]Lol, J/K

Know any?  :)

Anyways I've hijacked this thread for long enough. I wonder if Ashaltdragon is coming. A video of this ride would be cool.

Lol. He is supposed to be there on the 15th for the ride and cleanup, are you comming for that?

Planning on it. Is it BYOTB (Bring your Own Trash Bags)?

No I am going to bring trash bags. My boyfriend is in construction and he can get the big ones for free. I am going to bring lunch but I don't know if I will have enough. Bring drinks (beer, soda, whatever) and snacks!

MUDDY I'll be out there on the 1st of may for sundat let me know if you need anything .305-989-0345 d/c 159*224927*14

Yeah dude... I'll be there!  ;D We should make this official atvflorida group ride


;D ;D ;D

Let's do it! :)

*bump*

Can you give me more information on the Poker Run?  What time will it start?  Can you ride double?  How does it work?
Thanks

It is just a thing that is happening.... Like a group ride. You can come whenever you want and ride with 8 people on a bike if you wanted!

I am thinking of coming down there with a buddy of mine and I dont want to drive down just for a day, is there camping available on site or a campground close that allows tents, i dont wanna drag the camper down this weekend. Thanks for the help.

you can camp pretty much whereever you want, the quiet area out of all the spots would be down by the pump house, or at any of the turn in towards the power lines onthe northside of the dirt road. skeeters are bad, bring protection.

I'm making sausage and peppers!  ;D

hi there, so are there any local people that will be camping, or is everyone showing up sunday morning.
i am down to camp or just ride for the day..

If it's cool out we are camping.... If it's not you will get eaten alive by skeeters!

Muddy I plan to go sunday AM after work. What time will you guys be leaving ?

Not sure.... yet have to talk, have to talk to the boyfriend and get back to you!

allrighty

Well I think im gonna have to pass. I gotta work monday and its a 3.5 hour drive each way. I really wanna come check out the riding down there, but maybe next time.

I know I know, yall are all upset you cant see me! but you will get another chance soon.

Well, we all hope you make it out soon! ;D

What time should we meet up in the morning? We're planning on being at the South Pump House around 8 am. Was going to camp, but the weather is too warm and not in the mood to play smack the mosquitoes all night.

Don't know lwt me call the boyfriend and ask!

Well, I am having second thoughts about not going. I really want to go so I think I may change some plans around and head down there. I just have a couple questions and im sure manny knows why I am asking this, lol. Is there any Nextel reception down there or a store close by that has pay phones? I am gonna come down sat night and camp if I do make it.

There is no store for miles except the little peanut stand at the beggining of the levy. You do get Nextel service in front of the pump house and half way down the dirt road. We have Nextel's too, we know where they get service. If you don't mind me asking, why do you need a phone?

My girlfriend hates me riding 4wheelers when shes not around because she is always worried that I will do something crazy. I just have to call her every now and then.

I know how that is... You can tell her not to worry you will be in good hands. [smiley=BigSmile.gif]There will be alot of us out there and some of us who basically live out there. We know the land like the back of our hand.  [smiley=Hug.gif] You can get service in particular places so when you get there find my boyfriend and I on the Dark Green Arctic Cat 650 and I will tell you the spots you get service. I am Lindsey and my boyfriend is Brandon.  [smiley=Cool.gif]

YES HE DOES BALL AND CHAIN  [smiley=laugh.gif] [smiley=laugh.gif] [smiley=laugh.gif] [smiley=laugh.gif] [smiley=laugh.gif] [smiley=laugh.gif] [smiley=laugh.gif] [smiley=laugh.gif]

What time and where can we meet for a ride ? call me 305-989-0345

We will be out there around 9 or 10. But, if the weather is cool like the weatherman said it is going to be, we are camping Saturday night. We will be behind the pumphouse somewhere. Look for a green Tundra and a purple Dodge Ram 2500. Meet you all out there!

bless you my child

Well thank you! If you look at the pics, the one called Holylands Pics from last weekend..... I am the only one either on top of the bike rocking it or behind it pushing it. all the boys just wanted to stay on the bikes and not help!  [smiley=Unhappy.gif]lol =

Hey, I am trying to decide what time to get there, I would like to arrive saturday and camp. What time does everyone else camping plan to arrive? Also, the title is Poker Run, is this a real poker run wit entry fees and so on? or just a name? thanks muddygurl!(since i know you will be the first to respond, lol)

Of course I will be.... I work from 8a-5p and I get notified when people reply. Umm.... No entry fees it is just a name! If we camp we will probably get there around 6 or 7.

My cell number is 954-775-4133 and for anybody that has Nextel it is 159*5008*378. I will know more around lunch time Sat. I will post whether I will be out there or not..... For anybody that wants to know before than give me a call!

I cant believe I never met you muddy, we have been (me and Sean aka TRX350_on_rack) going out there for a couple years ATVing. Finally we shall all meet on Sunday. Unless we have seen you out there and just dont know it was you.

Hey! I am going to be heading down that way this after noon. I still dont know exactly where it is other than off of 27 way down south, once I turn off of 27 how do I know where to throw up the tent? Also is the camping spot allowed to have 4 wheelers or do they have to be taken somewhere else? Anyone else going to be there tonight?

Cody I wish I could go tonight . I spoke with my Sgt. she said I could break off at 6am so i'll meet you there keep your phone on. I'll be riding solo.

Once you turn right off 27 into Holeyland take that road down, keep going down and further down, then it turns into a dirt road and keep going down, down down, and then a little further down. It ends at the pumphouse they are talking about. Go right around the pumphouse and then go left.  That is where they camp I beleive.

We camp at the pump house. AND YES EVERYONE.... WE WILL BE CAMPING TONIGHT! Look for a dark purple Dodge Ram 2500 and a Green Tundra. We will be behind the pump hose somewhere. I'm exicted, See you all out there!

Headed out there in an hour. I hope early reports from a neighbor are untrue. The place was crawling with FWC, there were some injuries and heavy drinking. It's going to ruin our privilege to ride ther, folks!

I could not make it out there today (had a gig) but I'm eagerly waiting for the reports and pix :)

We were asking about you Dragon (me&TRX350) we had alot of fun and were hoping to see you out there. We did run into Muddygurl and her gang, rode with them for better part of the afternoon, what a blast, Thanks guys!! Great meeting you all, we were so wiped out that we got cleaned up and went home. Hope we can all get together and ride again, we will send you some pictures. Also thanks to meathead1's
group for letting us tag along in the morning, you guys are great, couldn't have had a better time (unless someone else cleaned my bike and clothes when I got home) Later all....

GOD BLESS 5 GALLON BUCKETS, right Hondabeater? lol I had a blast out there today with everyone. Everyone was great waiting on me and my buddy with our stock tires:) Can't wait to see some pics Muddygurl!!

I know I know.... Can't get the pics up because the DSL is down at home. It is getting fixed.... As soon as we get it up, we will get pics up! It was a blast, good meeting all of you guys!

Hey and Bigscrb15 thanks for waking us up! We probably would have slept through the afternoon!

Had fun. Got pics. Will try to upload today.

I will post a forum on the pics page for everyone to upload pics.... remember no helmets don't post without blacking out the faces. You can black out the faces by opening the pics in paint.

Cool. Hey Muddygurl it was nice to put a face to a name. Great meeting you and Brandon........also meathead. Hope to see you all for the Holey Lands Cleanup  8)

P.S. Thanx for the cig Muddygurl :)

I hope the name was appropriate for how my face looked Sunday. Lol! That one mud hole by your friends camp was great. I hope you guys come out for the cleanup. I put a post on the photo gallery to upload pics. It is called Poker Run at Holy Lands!

I told Americans For Responsible Recreational Access about the cleanup and they may or may not put it on the website. I hope they do so we can get more people. See you all out there!
