Waterthunder,
We'll be at Loughmans for the wedding on 11/18/06, (Should get there Friday and leave on Sunday). It the ride your talking about possible out of Loughmans?
Gonna be quite a few S.A. members in attendance for the wedding as far as I know.

The proper traditional "paper invites" go out in the mail within the next 48 hours. RSVP website is being built right now.
The open invite for everyone is already out there. Some may think we're joking about this, we're not. As an example: Ken - even though we've had our differences, you're welcome to attend. There is a bridge out there, and water is passing under it 24/7. Anyone attending the wedding (including bride & groom) will have to pass under that same bridge as well. This is no joke - you're welcome to attend.
Our wedding is planned for leaving Loughman at 2 in the afternoon or so, and riding to Pawpaw for a relatively quick and to the point ceremony by about 3 in the afternoon. Then riding back to Loughman's for some cookout and cake. and smiles shared by everyone.
Now, I have a feeling there is room for a ride in there. Either in the morning, or after the ceremony maybe detour up to Puzzle lake and the econ river's beautiful scenery for a bit while the food gets to cookin.
Maybe Sunday. I do know this, it will be a moonless night saturday night. Hopefully a cool November evening. I'm learning the fine art of froggin' and am told this is PRIMO froggin' weather! There is miles of froggin grounds out there. Group rode or not, I'll bet there will be a few night expeditions the night of the 18th.
Yeah, there are a lot of Southern airboater's on our guest list. Basketcase is the best man!
Y'all are more than welcome to tag along. It's a beautiful stretch of river thru there. Unlike any other area in the state. Rich with thousands of years of history. And hardly a human residence to be seen. The area of the wedding is almost as remote as the everglades. Not quite, but almost.
A beautiful ride area for sure!!!

Seminole county airboat club is having a poker run on the 28th of october. we will be leaving jolly gator around 10:00 and going to loughmans and back with stops at the econ, b.s. hill and bear bluff. It would be a great way to get to know the area before the wedding.Could maybe schedule a stop at 50 or paw paws to get folks familiar with the super highway trail.

I am so excited that you all are coming to the wedding! I can't wait for all of our "airboat-challenged" friends and family to find out what it is we love so much about airboating. It's not just the vehicles, but the folks that we love.
Just in case it hasn't already been said:
I would like to send out my personal invitation to anyone on here who wants to come. Anyone who loves this as much as we do is a friend, and we would be honored to have them there!
A monthly run to the wedding would be fantastic! An airboat run, good food, friends, and a celebration, who could ask for more?

Instead of "where is the next ride" - the question oughtta be -
WHERE IS THERE WATER????
Some areas we've not ridden yet:
Istopoga/arbuckle
Lower Kissimmee
Withlacoochie River
Been a long time since:
Lake O
Hernando pool of Lake Tsala (Citrus Cty)
Orange Lake / Lochloosa Lake
Last year about this time we did area 3A. How is the water levels there?
And I don't think I'd take my boat into the salt water, but there may be interest in doing a mangrove shuffle along the gulf coast.
FYI - when the water is low, LAKE GEORGE is a ROCKIN' PLACE TO RIDE!!!!
But I'm ALL FOR heading south for the winter. Lake O or lower. Apologies to those reading this up north - But it gets too cold in Orlando for me. :lol: Yes, we get 3 or 4 frosts a year. That's too cold. Let's ride south.
MAYBE we could organize something in Everglades Nat'l Park and go get/gig/shoot some pythons. If they hand us each a couple of boxes of .45 cal RAT SHOT we could have some fun FOR SURE!!!!
AS for a date...
I vote for doing something the last week of Jan or the first week of Feb.

Time frame works for me. Ill be landing at MLB on Jan 17th and hopefully will have nuff bugs worked out to go for a ride. Im anxious be it 20 above or 20 below.
I should have a few runs down the St. Johns by then so will have a clue at least how the boat handles. I have no clue yet about how th trailer drags or the truck pulls. My guess is both will need some attention.
All seems doable in that timeframe though.
If ya ride in Feb then you'll be skippin January. Horrors !

How about Lake O the weekend of the 20th? I agree with mood on the weather...I go nowhere I may have to wear things on my feet. Let's save the Citrus County ride for the spring/summer. Whitebear....can't wait to put a face with a name I already know.

Lake O or 3a is would work for me lets ride south. Citrus area is dry still you better have a good running boat to get around there. You would be able to run the lake and around the canals but that's it.
Lake O would be just fine. on the 20th

DarkWader - are you calling me a Dick Cheney? :lol: :lol: :lol: At a range of 10 feet, I've found that .45 rat shot has a fairly dense pattern. Those things are sort of soft skinned. I used to have a pet python. But when he got over 9 feet long, I let him go in the lake. (HAHA! just kidding! I sold one when the other died)
Hey, were is the water? Is lake O got good water in it? Is it naughty or nice? :santa:
I was hoping for a slightly later weekend MsWiz. My better half will still be working up north till the 22nd. And does not have to report for work again (here in Orlando) till 2nd week of Feb.
Weekend of the 27th or the 3rd would make Laura smile.
The KOA in the town of Okeechobee looks pretty nice. Only a few blocks from the lake. And we know where they serve the world's best tasting cheeseburger... so good we went back to the same restaurant the next morning and had ANOTHER awesome cheeseburger for BREAKFAST. (thanksgiving day breakfast )
If the riding is no good in Lake O, let's try to put together something for Area 3A. Are there any hunting seasons we need to worry about?
