    River Ranch 13 April 24 - 27 - 2014

    Well it's official these are the dates and are locked in . This is a fun weekend with lots to do if you choose , Boating , Rodeo , Country Saloon, Horseback riding or just chilling out by the pool . There are many lakes to ride through with Lake Kissimmee being the largest . I will provide a link to a map of the Kisimmee Chain of Lakes that will help in navigating the area . This is a really centrally located spot for those located all around the state to attend . located on Rt 60 20 miles East of Lake Wales and 20 miles West of the FL Turnpike junction at Yeehaw Junction .

    All FL boating operation and Safety Equipment requirements apply and it is customary for FWC to visit this group so have all your equipment together , wear your Life Vests and operate wisely !!

    An additional comment regarding golf carts and general behavior using them . Last April there were some really abusive and careless drivers operating carts around other people and a cart was also left stuck in a pond . This is just crazy and after being spoken to by the management at the Ranch it must be stopped or our group will not be welcome there . Just because you put down a security deposit does not mean you can trash this privately owned equipment . I personally witnessed a young lady almost get crushed between two carts due to careless operation . If you can't conduct yourself in a basically controlled manner ..don't bother coming to this event . If it happens again it will certainly be the last one I have anything to do with .

    I look forward to seeing everyone there and should anyone need to get a hold of me (727)-457 - 8253
