[Tom Foley]

Hey guys , never been over ther but Corona Mike tells me it is awesome . I would be coming basically from Tampa on I - 4 . I would like to be in the water by 8 or 9 oclock . Give me some directions to the best ramp , Thanks Tom .

[Corona Mike]

Tom, I don't know if we are going to make this one or not. The best way to go is take H.Y. 60 east past Lake Whales to boy Scout Rd. turn left, go to where road ends--aprox 2-3 miles--turn right, go to where road ends you are at Camp Mack. When you put in, follow canal to the left until you get to the river--aprox 400 yards go left look for everyone under the large oak trees on the right side of the river. I'll let you know if we decide to go.

[AwesomeBullet]

Dam, with this turnout I may haul butt home from the tournie early....Looks like a good mess of boats....

[rentalron]

:eek: guys, it's going to be really f***ing cold, but i'm towin the boat up from big pine. i need directions from the turnpike. how many boats?

[Corona Mike]

From the turnpike, take the Yeehaw Junction exit to H.Y.60 go west to Boy Scout Rd.--aprox 18 miles--turn right go to where road ends{at crossroad} turn right go until road ends--at Camp Mack--After you launch, head left in cannal, then left in river aprox. 3/4 mile where large oak trees are on right bank. Look for HydraStream/STV/Bullet/etc.

[rentalron]

hey guys, i'm comming all the way from the keys, can we get a head count? :D

[AwesomeBullet]

A head count with this group? That's like asking Bush for a straight answer... :D

I should be there...didn't go to my tournie, and I have a co-worker that wants to see what boating is all about....She didn't quite understand the concept of a trailer so we shall see.... :eek: But what better way to introduce her to the world of boating than to bring her to a Kissimmee Run....Hope she can make it. Plan to launch around 10 or so at Lake Cypress. Then run down to the big tree...Should be there by 10:30....

[Sid Vicious]

Mirage still down so Sterling, me and the Triton will be there around 11:00am. Will be over at Hydrostream Dave's on Saturday working on the Mirage so I'll talk him into going out with us. See you all then.

[xstreamed]

when you take a break at dave's come on by and have some cold ones. we hope to be spraying some paint. I hope to be in the water next weekend. If you guys come by give me call and i will give you directions.

[Sid Vicious]

We should be done around noon so we'll call you around then and come on over and see your progress on the boat.

[big D]

They came down for a suprise visit from Tenn.But I'll be there early so if anyone gets there a little early I'll be south of the bridge towards LK Kissimmee :p See Ya Dn There,Dennis...Darrel good luck on the Paint job,Who's doing it??

[VectorPat]

I wont make it this trip, just way too many things going on right now... Hopefully things should be getting better in a couple weeks then I'll be back out there smokin past Dennis again :D :D

[big D]

[mobiletech1985]

[AwesomeBullet]

From the turnpike, take the Yeehaw Junction exit to H.Y.60 go west to Boy Scout Rd.--aprox 18 miles--turn right go to where road ends{at crossroad} turn right go until road ends--at Camp Mack--After you launch, head left in cannal, then left in river aprox. 3/4 mile where large oak trees are on right bank. Look for HydraStream/STV/Bullet/etc.

WE are going to come up. Can l get a phone # from one of you guys so we know were to meet if we are running late or whatever .PS STV and a LIGHTNING, sould be a good time.PS what kind of boating will this be, hall a$$ or cruze, or just bring more than one prop :D 26 28 30

[mobiletech1985]

Also what time should we be at the boat ramp.

[AwesomeBullet]

I'm launching at a different ramp, the ramp you guys are launching at is less than five minutes from the hangout.....I am launching up on Lake Cypress (30 minute drive versus 2.5hrs by truck for me to the ramp you're going to). I plan on being on the water around 10am, being at either the tree or the bridge by 10:30. BigD and some others will probably be out sonner than that. When you launch, you will see the canal goes two directions, one back towards the way you came in, and the other going north. Head to the north channel. When it exits into the main canal (you'll know when you see bassboats whizing past at WOT), take off and head left about 1/2 mile. Just before the canal opens up into the lake there is a big oak tree and barbed wire fence on the right. If we are there you can't miss the stv's, hydrostream, bullet, ally's, etc...If we aer not there, the other spot is back behind you. Turn around, head south about a mile to the bridge that crosses the canal. Directly on the south side of the bridge is a nice beach on your right side. That is the other hangout spot....As for running, it is completely up to you. A lot of times we'll cruise the river for a while, the canal where we park is perfect for doing passes while we are on the beach....Just watch out for the big boats... :eek:

[rentalron]

had a great time guys, thanks for sharing your river with me. see yall in suwanee !!! :D

[AwesomeBullet]

We had an awesome turnout! Always great to get new blood initiated on the river....As always with Kissimmee, it was a terriffic day to run and play....Also the best of days when everyone makes it back to the trailer under their own power... :D It's not often you see Lake Kissimmee that smooth, those of you Gator boyz that decided not to come out missed some fun times. We'll hafta get together again down there soon. Even though I am not one of the fastest, it sure is nice to see these sharp rigs running right alongside. There's just something about the looks of those tunnels when they are cruisin.

[mobiletech1985]

:eek: not the fastest, bullet was running WOT the hole lake. This was a great ride and will do this agian real soon, lunch on the water, airboats on land, and fast bassboat running WOT and some STVs with a lot of open water in front of them. Also the best part of the trip was the locks. Thanks for a great day and see you guys soon.PS sid and roy, when we were going to the locks from lunch you guys came around that turn :eek: if l had a video camara so you guys can see what we saw, you guys were flying.Also got some pics.

[mobiletech1985]

[Tom Foley]

WOW , I missed another great run because of too much sh@#$% to do !! I worked on project Mirage at the house for about 10 hours straight without a single beer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will have to add that this is a very rare occasion ! Nice looking group of dedicated Florida hot boaters at this gathering ! I hope to see All of you at the Suwannee in march or this Satuday for the pre -run . I vow to not miss another (2) Kissimmee River run . Great job guys !! Tom

[Sid Vicious]

What a blast. I alway have great time on the river. It was nice to meet all the new boaters. Even Mike (Florida Mirage) showed up with his airboat. Nice rig Mike. See all soon.
Sid and Sterling
