We are right in the forest off highway 42 in Paisley, there is water and electricty back by the camping area and one of the bathrooms has outside access.  We also have trail access to some smooth trails on the edge of the property. so if you would like to stay here, please PM me for directions. A coulple of my friends from south Florida our coming up for this ride so we will see you there.

The campground we are staying at is the same as QT and GSXR they both called and confirmed it was ok to bring atvs in on a trailer.  Its the Ocklawaha Outpost Resort. www.outpostresort.com I dont see any confusion chillin, but some people may be confused .

[jbbj220]

Is anyone from the Jacksonville going down Sat morning? I will be stopping for breakfast somewhere on the way down. Have been stopping at the Huddle House but want to find someplace diff. Does anybody know if rich's is open for breakfast? Or might wait till I get to Palatka and find a place there. If you like make a seggestion  and stop and have breakfast with me.

   Jim,

You would see the confusion if you drove to the end of 160th and saw the campground I'm talking about. Its called the Oklawaha camp ground not outpost. I know where you are staying, I drive past it on the way to my place, they are on the river and have rv sites, cabins, canoe rentals but no pool. The other place has a pool and they are Aholes.
 Jeff I know you know what I'm talking about. Whatever, I know where I'm staying

Oklawaha camp ground we are in site T5.  They didn't say there were any restrictions on the number of tents.  When I called they said it was $16.50/night for the first 4 on the camp site.  Each person there after is $3/night.  We're at the place w/o a pool.  The owners know that there's a group of atvers coming.

The camp is off of NE 160th Street.  You'll take 316 to get there.  If I'm wrong someone please let me know.  We'll be leaving 1-2 Friday, I'm planning on staying till Sunday.  Scrub bros, I'm interrested in the canoe trip Sunday. 

Party's at Camp Oklawaha.

well sorry you can't stay.  maybe one of these times your parents will get a chance to meet some of the ppl and let you go w/ them.  lmk's parents did that after they met a couple of ppl.

[dreadhed]

Me and my lady would like to try and make it.  I have not rode the dam area would a couple of 3 wheelers make through.  I should know buy Thur if we will make.  If nothing else we would like send a couple of toys.  We would also like to camp with some  people to get to know more people.  Do you guys thinkd they could make it the 50 miles.  I thin they should one I will be riding a 200 and a 125 or a nother 200.
Thanks
Gabe

[Bigscrb15]

QT, caospop and bigdaddy wont be on this ride so you can take em off the list, im sure bigD will be at RR and manny has to work.

[stinky_fingers]

My buddy from work and I will be there on saturday morning...   Where can I drop some fuel on thursday night or early saturday morning, would do it friday but plan on going to see the new dukes of hazzard!  We are both riding 2 strokes (LT500 and a 250R) and I would hate to run out...

Also, is the party open to all on saturday after the ride?  I wouldn't mind hanging out and meeting some fellow riders over a couple of adult pops...

[qt314nfla]

the gas drop is generally at the meeting place.  everyone gathers and then someone takes the gas to the drop spot.  be sure to get there at 8 for the gas drop.  they will wait for ppl to show up but it's been known to take 30min car ride to drop it off.

party/gathering is welcome to all.  come have fun w/ us and get to know more ppl.

[stinky_fingers]

That works... Thanks for the clarification...

[muddmxr]

wondering if sportsman 500,700 holds enough gas or should tou bring gas any way to be safe

[qt314nfla]

you should be fine.  the last ride we did was 78 miles and we did fine.  we filled up and it's always better to be safe than sorry.  just bring the can and it will be dropped off.

[muddmxr]

wondering if sportsman 500,700 holds enough gas orsh    ould tou bring gas any way to be safe 

[muddmxr]

thanks for info will bring gas. are trucks safe at the parking area

[qt314nfla]

um no, we were all just going to drop our trucks and trailers off.  then when we get back we ride our quads out and all buy new trucks and trailers.  we've found it's a great way to avoid having to take anything unnecessary home.  and at the end of the weekend we all get new rigs.......  

sorry i had to go there.  real answer yes.  things should be safe.

You better buy that high octane stuff down there or just bring the jets and we will put them in, I haven't seen a place up here yet that carries high octane. And hell yea anyone that wants to come over and hang out around the pool is more than welcome.

Qt, That was funny. Well, got a dogsitter so my options for camping have opened up.
Because of where I'm coming from I was thinking of staying at Salt Springs. If thats full we would like to join the group at Oclawawawawawa(you know what I mean), but I don't want to bust up an adults only camps with my kids. Also is there a swimhole near Oclawawawa?
We'll be coming up Fri. morning and would like to hook up for a ride on Fri.. Qt you seem to be the central navigator for the Fri ride so I'll give you a holler on DC this evening after work to find out where to meet.
Looking forward to meeting everyone,                   Jon
