Are we in a drought? I don't think so and neither does the boatramp.

Hy JR and Matt, down the ramp.

Somebody is enjoying the last days.

Yeah, drought. Water restrictions..

Good side looks perfect.

C-11 along Griffin. The water is flowing East so the drought can continue.

Yeah, I love that place as well. I hope it gets ignored by the FWC after July 1, because I will be riding it until they tell me to stop.

I wish I would have gone last weekend, it was still dry enough you could make it to the airboat camp and maybe even 8th. It might dry out one more time if it would stop raining, they are pumping everything to the ocean right now.

what is macks?


A fish camp (they have boats, beer and bait) on Krome about 1/2 mile south of US-27. You can ride down the boat ramp and all out into the glades legally from there...for now anyway.

I almost always ride there at night, never had a problem in 25 years. If they shoot at you, you are going too fast! Never go over 5 MPH near the camp!! Bad things happen to people who do that.

On the weekends kids always have a fire in the parking lot all night, great when you are soaking wet and come back to the trucks.

That place is pretty fun. Just remember not to do donuts on the gravel road. The residents there have to pay to repair that road. And go slow in the camp. I haven't been to mack's in about a year, I live right down the street from this place.
