I noticed a sport quad guy come check us out yesterday, guess he didn't want to get dirty.
Feel free to join us for some hardcore swampin and swimming with the gators.
Airboat ramp 10:00am, bring a helmet.

You guys missed a GREAT one today. I know I have been pushing Macs all week, and lots of you probably plan to go there tomorrow. It is perfect for sport quads almost a mile west off the boat ramp.
Please be respectful of the place with no doughnuts in the parking lot and be sure to go visit Keith and Marshall down at the camp if you need ice or beverages, or want some great fishing.
Do not exceed 5MPH
into the fishcamp if you go there, you won't like the welcome. I may or may not be there, please be safe. I don't want any negative attention brought to one of the greatest local spots we have.
If you see me, please stop over and say hello.
There are only a few more weeks to enjoy this rare pleasure, I encourage you to check it out if you feel like riding.
I'll post some pics and videos later.

You got it brother. I have loved it since I obtained my first Yahama 80 dirtbike from the jaws of a garbage truck on bulk day at age 8.
Now that was a crazy rig, no clutch cable or brakes..
Sure did run good though!! Fun times!!
As for you other guys, I don't want a lady friend slowing me down, and you too can ride and live if you put your mind to it. It isn't very hard.

Just because most of us don't ride during the week/during the day doesn't mean we don't ride or live it means we have responsiblities.

We all have responsibilities. I am on call 24/7. At any given time I can and do get screwed on planned activities.
I hope you guys aren't looking at my posts as condescending, because I assure you they aren't meant that way.
I am simply trying to show you the currently ONLY legal riding area we have available in South Florida, since it is a ghost town out there, and Macs is a great riding and fishing spot. One of the last great places we even have left here.
Most of my friends are not happy I am showing our little secret off, and I sometimes have to go months without riding, so sorry if I have come off as a 'look at me guy', I just love to ride and take pictures The more the merrier I always say.
I also need to be in front of this stupid computer more than I like, so I post a lot. Sorry I bothered you guys.

Jack, you keep on giving us some leads on good riding spots and posting those pictures. I look forward to your information. I went to Macs yesterday and had a great (muddy) ride. I looked for your red Vinson but didn't see you. I was on a Vinson Camo with 2 friends on Raptors. We definitely got dirty.

Glad to hear it!! Mine was getting all pretty yesterday.
I would have loved to make it out, but you can't make em all.
Look forward to riding with you in the future.

Too far!
If you ever rode Badluck you will be really disappointed. It is off of us 27/Krome ave about eight miles south of the alley. No way I would drive two hours to get there..well maybe.
It depends on the kind of riding you do. UTE guys might take the drive, but I would never go that far to bring a sport quad, even the locals don't go there much.

Straight down the boat ramp and head south. You can't miss the mud!
It is getting thick, Monday it rained all morning. It was awesome.
This is directly off the boat ramp Monday 5/14:
This is where I got crossed up sideways in a crazy Tokyo drift into a big hole about 75 feet from the boat ramp at about 40 mph winding out fifth gear. This could have been bad and I sure got dirty when it was on its side in the hole:
My bike begs to differ about the lack of mud.
This guy wanted to be famous, if you look close you can see my reflection in his eye:
This guy thinks he is a dog. Very funny:

JackL I personally enjoy your post. I use your post as a barometer as how it will be to ride. My son and I would like to hook up with you some time and go riding out at Holeyland when it opens up again. Please keep posting pics and telling us your adventures.

Thanks, I don't have many pictures from this ride, but I did make a crazy cool video one handed doing some doughnuts with my buddies in that slick mud. Unfortunately some of the riders in it don't have helmets on so I can only post it to
www.floridaatv.com
Trust me, we are going to have a HUGE party when they reopen the Holeylands, and you can be sure I'll be posting about it like crazy before and after!!!
Bring on the rain!!!!!

The hog is Mac's mascot until its time for a BBQ. You could say they are free range pigs
I saw pig skulls laying around so I would take that as evedents to some feasting at some point in time. I love the other white meat it's yummy
