"ATTENTION FAMILY CAMPERS WITH SMALL CHILDREN"

[Patricia Pearce]

L-Cross now has a camping area just for you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Featuring a small track with jumps and all!!  You have your own personal mud hole, too!!  Away from the Big Boys with their Big toys. This area
is strictly for small children and their families!  Located in the far Northeast
corner of the park. Bring the kids and their toys and enjoy camping in the woods under Florida's star swept skies!!

Thankyou,

  Thanks for sharing, Pat.
  I just got back from a short "time wise" ride down at "3 lakes W.M.A."
with a couple other members here....and I saw a few other little buggers (kids under 9 years old) riding quads.  Those kids were supervised quite well and appeared to be able to handle their rides with no problem.
   Kids need to have a place to ride also.....and maybe if L-cross is a HIT, other places may join in! Lets hope so.

I can't wait to see the little ones play in the mini park!  Mark and the boys spent alot of time planning and building it. I think it is a great addition to the park.  We are always open for suggestions.  We will try to accomidate
any thing with in reason for all to have a better time!

Thanks,

The track seems like a really good idea. Just be ready to rebuild it every week before an event.

Great Idea though.. I know if I was a little guy, I would be all over that stuff.

Question though, how much fun could a serious sport guy have out there? I see alot of mud, and when I see mud.. I think how much $$ is it going to cost me to go through that..

svtbolt04,

It all depends on you and what you have to tear up!  I think we have seen it all, from Hummer's that were only 2 hours old to cadilacs in the mud pit.

But you don't have to tear it up, at least not on purpose . You can stay on the edges and have a challenge, or really go for it and go all the way across.  Not to many people make it across with out getting stuck, just
make sure you have a good snatch rope and others will help you get out.

There are trail rides too if you don't want to get all muddy. They go 20
miles to the old Kissimmee river and back to the park.  Nice scenery and
cattle,nature & lots of different types of birds to see as well.

[Patricia Pearce]

Perfect weather for the family to come try out the new kiddie park this
weekend. Come play and camp in your own new section.

Weather man say's it will warm up to the 70's this weekend!

[svtbolt04]

Sorry, another question. I ride a pretty modded sport quad, and those trails seem like somthing I would like to do. Is the trail a one way type of thing, and how packed could it get, incase I open it up a little, will I have to worry about oncoming traffic?

Thanks for the previous post, and I know about people with the hummers, seen it at felda.

[Patricia Pearce]

When you go on the long trail rides up to the old kissimmee river everyone is going together so no there is not any on comming traffic and you can go as fast as you feel safe remember these are natural trails not paved roads they are uneven and have bull holes as well as ditches in them, but no on comming traffic.

If you ride in the front pasture several people ride out there that want to go fast but again pasture and bull holes.

some people ride on the shell roads there are about 1 mile of these in the front you can go fast on but please be safe!!!

In the camping park and around the mud hole there is a 5mph speed
limit that is ENFORCED! Alot of people and children so don't be stupid there
you will get in trouble.

I just checked out www.l-cross.com

  Allot of pictures of mud and quads that have snorkels. My quad has no snorkels etc....are there trails that go around the DEEP soupy stuff?

  Thanks for the GPS co-ordinances on the website.   (sounds like a road trip in the future).

The trail ride we generally follow one another and stay in a line.  The bull holes can get you for sure and they are quite hidden at times.  The last trail had some good mud w/ alot of ppl stuck but they took the 2wd quads on another trail around the mud and met back up w/ us.

As for being snorkeled.  I've rode there several times and I'm not snorkeled.  There are PLENTY of muddy places you can ride w/o a snorkel.  There are however a few GOOD holes that swallow trucks.  If you ride w/ the group in the mud holes you'll learn very quickly where you can and can't go depending on your quad set up.

It's alot of fun and I wish I could go but I sank mine in another hole last weekend and will be rebuilding the rear diff this weekend.  Have fun for me if you go.

[Patricia Pearce]

Thanks QT I couldn't have said it better!

SEE!!!!  We need more business people to do this!  Maybe inter-connect the trails?
  Good luck Patricia...........I hope you get allot of support ($ also) from the members of this site.  Maybe even make note of the site in a prominant
area of your business?

[Patricia Pearce]

We got alot of thankyous for this, not only do the kids have a place to play away from the big boys, but also their families can camp away from the others right around the kiddie park and watch the kids play from the camp site. It was perfect.. Check out the home page of the web site and you can see a video of some of the first kids playing there!!

We will be marking off the family camping area with signs and maybe a little yellow tape so the families can kind of camp in a circle around the track and mini mud hole. That way it won't be so inviting for the bigger kids,
have you ever noticed when you ask people to not do something it seems to make them want to do it more.  If I was a big kid I would not have been seen dead playing in a KIDDIE PARK.  But as always there are a few, that just have to do it. They just uprooted some of the tires we will fix it.

Thank,

[SWAMP_DONKEY]

I do not know?? I have been to your events every weekend when you first started and stopped going when the price doubled and it was no longer a family place to ride but more like the 12 hours of sebring Family weekends are a very good Idea. I used to come and give hats out to everyone as I work for Alan Jay Automotive in Sebring. Anyhow GREAT Idea.!!!

SWAMP DONKEY

[Patricia Pearce]

Swamp Donkey,
 Prices have NOT doubled!!! It is still $30.00 to stay the weekend, the only difference IS PEOPLE HAVE TO PAY IT UP FRONT NOW !!!! THEY used to come in on Friday for $10.00 say they were just spending the evening and you would catch up with them and 1,500 more people on SUNDAY morning that had been there ALL WEEKEND for just $10.00!! But you still had to have EMS, SECURITY and every thing else you need for a safe and fun weekend!! The price is $30.00 for Adults for the whole weekend, $5.00 for kids 12 and under, for the Whole weekend or Sunday you can come in for 15.00, actually Saturday night at 12.01 you can come in for $15.00's.
We used to charge 10.00 on Friday, 15.00 on Saturday, and $15.00 on Sunday That's $45.00! Now we get $30.00 for the whole weekend or $15.00 for Sunday. So, tell me how the PRICE HAS DOUBLED???
the price is less,,the only difference is.....we are getting paid!!!

Patti, the first time that I brought my kids down there I was charged $25 for me and my two kids. It may have been a special event as its been a long time back, I'm not for sure. That was $75, I almost fell out. The lady at the gate had told us that it was $25 a piece for everyone, including babies. I know it has changed now but it did put a bad taste in my mouth at that time. Especially since the website said different and I had drove so far. It took me a little while to decide to give it another chance but now that I have and now look forward to the events.
