I talked to John Sales the owner and operator of Okeechobee Mudfest and he opened up a thread for any questions.  http://www.atvflorida.com/forum/index.php/topic,4929.0.html  Glass bottles are allowed. Like said before no minors with out adults. REAL adults.  There is camping people with generators on one side of the compound and on the other side the rough necks. No Mudding or trail riding after dark. Only camp cruising. (cruising around to other camps checking people out.)  Nudity. Up to the persons discretion.   Gates do close at  7:00 or 8:00 pm depending on traffic. Swamp buggies, full tracks and any other wheeled mud riding vehicle is allowed except 3 wheelers. No fighting or underage drinking will be tolerated or you WILL be kicked out. MS&G has A security guard. This events got deputy’s. This is the one that has been closed for 2 years and now they are back.

Title: Re: Okeechobee Mudfest
Post by: J.D. on July 21, 2005, 03:38:32 PM
I was talkin to John about it today , he suggested the atv's stay out of the pit in front . He said it was bottomless to the point that sometimes they actually have to dig buggies out with a dozer . He also told me they are going to do there best to keep all of the buggies out of the spots that are great for atv's . I will speak with the owner tonight about a couple more atv friendly ideas , I will let ya'll know what she says . Keep your fingers crossed , it could be something very cool .

How do I find it if I am coming from the other direction?  West or east of Okeechobee on SR 70?  I'll probably be coming down from Lorida(98 east of Sebring)

JD: It would be nice to have the GPS coordinates for the front gate. The first time I went to L-Cross, I almost drove by it.

I'm from Fort Lauderdale, what is the best way to get there?

Post by: 02YamahaBigBear400 on August 02, 2005, 12:06:44 PM
mudding mark: i'd say take i95 and get off at fort pierce. go west about 30 miles its gonna be on your right. right now there 2 white mudfest banners hanging on trees. But as you approach his land is very open and you would have plenty of time to see the vehicles on his land and then slow down for the gate.


Title: Re: Okeechobee Mudfest
Post by: JG on August 02, 2005, 12:16:10 PM

Ok, unfortunately we have like 3 posts on here for mudfest which has made it quite confusing to keep track of this event.  I would like to camp Friday night and I know that Purelogic will be up there to post off some area so we can all camp together.  Is there anyone else that will be going Friday night?  We need to get in touch so we are all camping in the ATVFlorida area.  PM me if you are going for sure.

They raised the price since last year. We got charged $30 for the whole weekend. Had a blast though.

Please keep the cost down though. L-cross started at $7 and is now $30.
