Put in at the big ramp at 35 mile marker and ran south on "Andrew Ave" trail which is the long north-south trail shown in the picture above. Thump and bump for the first half mile, then went to waist deep down south where we were duckhunting. But way west toward the microwave is another area altogether and Capt Randy knows it better than anyone. Why the hell are they pumping like this...its ridiculous-----they drown us all summer then dry us in the winter for no reason. Typical SFWMD----watching the pumps run at Holiday park made my ears turn red.....Charles

I don't think we will have a problem putting a run together, but we may want to avoid certain spots. I think it's a good thing we didn't wait until march. I will try to go out again this weekend and let yall know what's up

Alright guys only 2 weeks to go, I went out yesterday and made the run. It covers 60 miles round trip. The route I want to take will bring us back a different way than we will come in, making a big loop around. I will post the GPS numbers for several stops along the way as soon as I get a chance.
I haven't heard from anyone else who knows the area, so I guess everyone will follow me in a group stopping along the way to let the group catch up and making sure everyone is still with us. I need a little help planning from the ones that plan on leaving the same day. What time would you like to get back to the ramp? The sunsets at about 6PM. Do you think this is a good time to get back? For those lucky ones who are staying overnight, we will ride at night.

Hey Y'all,
I spoke with Randy today, and the water is looking good.
A little sticky getting out from the ramp-o-rama, but it's all good after that.
He's got a good loop planned that should be smooth sailing for all.
Should be "real skimboard" as someone said around here a while back.

Hey everybody, since we are going to be out all day (and then some) I think it is fair to say we should EAT. I have a BBQ grill I can throw on the boat and I don't mind cooking burgers and hot dogs. Maybe someone could bring side dishes.
Or do you think it should be BYO?
