Here is a chance for everyone to have input for what they would like to see happen on the ride for Bud.

Right now the plan would be to ride on Saturday 12-29-07 with Bud Marquis.
The plan would be to meet up a a time to be determined, and ride the the flight 401 crash site for a visit. This day will be the 35th anniversary of the crash.

Another ride on Sunday 12-30-07 may be possible, and will leave from the AAOF club facility located on the Tamiami trail. This ride will be into the glades, South of US 41, and guided by dome of Buds friends from the AAOF.

This is the main plan.

Overnight camping spots for r/v's or primitive campers has been offered by the AAOF at their facility. Also, cooking facillities are available for the group, or individuals who would like to prepare food after the return from the Ride on Sunday.

Very nice lodging accomodations are available a short distance away, at the Miccosukee Resort and Casino. Both would be very short distance to travel to both rides.

I was asked to post this info, for people to comment on, or vote for what they would like this ride to be. Hope I got the facts, and the plan correct here. If not, y'all let me know.

Everyone who is interested in Riding with Bud, please Vote above for your preference.
We need to know how many people will attend, or utilize the AAOF facility.

Post your comments, and recommendations also, and we will see what develops here, as we plan to Ride with Bud on this speacial day.
 
I spoke with DavieGSO480 last night. It sounds like the AAoF has a real nice place down there. He said that the grass is pretty tall at and around the crash site. That area hasn't been burned in a while. He told me that one of the local tour boat guides has a big counter rotator boat, and he could blaze a trail to the crash site and knock some of the grass down.
DavieGSO480 will try to post some pics of the club grounds. They need to get a ball park figure on how many folks are planning to attend. So if you are coming down on Dec. 29 Please post.

He also said that he will call the Miccosukee Resort to try and get some group rates for those that wish to stay there.

Looks to classy for my non-yuppee a$$.

Think I'll hang with Bro Brewster on the ditch bank around the fire with a bottle of spiced Capt. if he doesn't mind.
 
Im just trying to give some choises.....i have never stayed at the hotel......but......club grounds are avail...r/v.tent (its gonna be dec).......truck......camper whatever...............
lets get a plan.,.............
 
Can't think of a better way to end the old and bring in the new. Primitive camp, spirits :shock: , stars, and good company. I'm in.
 
Looks like a great place, clubhouse, camping, lots of room, big grills, launch the boat right from the grounds. I can't wait. How do you become a member?
 
If you are planning to attend the ride please post, we need to know if we will need additional parking, port-o-lets, etc. I know its still early but we have to come up with a ballpark number so we can work with the AAoF on what will be needed.

Thanks
John C
 
Me & Princess T will be there. For Sure & Certain.

Thanks to the generosity of Kevin Crofton and Casey King, I'll be bringing enough Uncle John's Pride Sausages to feed the whole buch of you. Crofton & Sons Meat Co. / Tampa is IN.

We'll probably sleep where we fall.
