Where ya been Duffy?
Sept is bad but Oct is good. We have been getting a little rain here finally.
They found a sinkhole just off of LULU (where Zane lives) and it was sucking a ton of lake water down. They have put about 80-90 dumptruck loads in already to fill it. So maybe the lake level will rise faster now.

Sorry biatch =) I live near the St. Johns and wasnt sure that anyone would want to be in there much less make a special trip. A good (but busy) place is 6 mile creek.

Where is 6 mile creek? north of Silver Glen?

(duffy) · (duffy) **Join Date: Feb 2006** 09-08-2007, 10:10 PM

Sink hole no way! Last time I was in Winter Haven was about 3 weeks ago and it was still low, but better. Is Zane still busy? I would like to see if I can demo some 08 bindings and maybe a new board...

I'd be in for it as well. Me & Brad discussed driving up to Jungles Den on a Friday night and then we'd be there first thing Sat morning, but I'm up for it... Let's get some dates that are good for everyone. I'm good for October as well or late Sept. Maybe Dave Briscoe would want ot go as well, I'll ask him.

Duffy,
Zanes been around a little bit, he came over yesterday to work on my sons wakeboarding, but other than that I havent seen much of him. I do know he is gonna be real busy here for a while. This weekend is Surf & Ski expo, U.S. Waterski Open, and MasterCraft dealer days all at once. Rail jam Fri night in Otown and Parks Double up somewhere soon. Anyway Oct. sounds great for the trip let me know.
Are you designing a Tshirt for the trip?

Is there enough stops for a "poker run" style trip or are we just rail sliding alligators all day?

(jgrunow) · (jgrunow) **Join Date: May 2004** 09-11-2007, 7:18 PM

I'm good for every weekend in October but the 1st weekend (Oct 6th). I will be staying at Blair's Jungle Den Friday and Saturday night on the weekend that we go. They used to have a Bar and Restaurant but it closed about 2 years ago and hasn't reopened. A cookout Saturday night would be cool. Lets get a weekend planned so we can get our rooms booked.

Duffy, Sorry I didn't make it down last month. Me being a new daddy and all. I'll be home next week though...can i bum a pull from one of you guys. Don't laugh though still can't get wake to wake.

(byrd) · (byrd) **Join Date: Dec 2005** 09-12-2007, 6:07 PM

Yep, right on the water. I'll call tomorrow and see how many rooms are booked for the wekend of the 13th. I'll let everyone know what I find out.

(jgrunow) · (jgrunow) **Join Date: May 2004** 09-12-2007, 6:39 PM

The week of the 13th works for me. Let me us no what you find out about the room. If you guys haven't stayed at the Jungle Den its pretty cool. Kind of old but surprising the rooms are clean.

(dreevs) · (dreevs) **Join Date: Jul 2002** 09-13-2007, 5:41 AM

Duffy - is that the hotel on the St Johns that we stopped at for beer that day after my 04 VLX smoked your "new and improved" VLX?

Plenty of rooms available for the 12th & 13th. Waterfront rooms $77.63. Octoberfest week starts on the 14th so she said we have to be out on Sunday Morning. So let's take a vote and we'll pull the trigger. EVeryone has until Friday afternoon 5:00pm est to let us know if this will work or not.

(dreevs) · (dreevs) **Join Date: Jul 2002** 09-13-2007, 10:24 AM

(dreevs) · (dreevs) **Join Date: Jul 2002** 09-13-2007, 10:27 AM

There appears to be a bar on the premesis according to the photos. Probably a good thing.

(byrd) · (byrd) **Join Date: Dec 2005** 09-13-2007, 1:22 PM

No bar that I remember. If you search for the rest, it says closed check back soon. The bar will be in your room

(girlboarder) · (girlboarder) **Join Date: Apr 2006** 09-13-2007, 2:28 PM

(jgrunow) · (jgrunow) **Join Date: May 2004** 09-13-2007, 6:28 PM

The bar is closed. They act likes its going to reopen soon....but the have been acting like that for a couple of years.

I'm in. Will book my room tomorrow. Its pretty redkneck (so you all should fit in), when you call to book it, they will fax you a confirmation for you to sign, at least thats what they did last year.

Looking forward to seeing you all. Remember to keep a close eye on boards!!

Hey, whats up Jeremy? Its probably a couple hours north, but worth the trip. I think Duffy (the guy who started this thread) lives in Brandon still. Ive got a spot in the boat for you if you want to come up.

(dreevs) · (dreevs) **Join Date: Jul 2002** 09-14-2007, 5:39 AM

Hey Jeff - Jenny wants to know if your bringing your speedo...?

(girlboarder) · (girlboarder) **Join Date: Apr 2006** 09-14-2007, 6:57 AM

Chances are Jeff probably is bringing his speedo, since he had it on the last time we rode. It's weird, but I'm afraid to ask...

(dreevs) · (dreevs) **Join Date: Jul 2002** 09-14-2007, 7:23 AM

If Jenny's coming, Ill run out of alcohol pretty quick! We will all need to stock up to keep her drinking...

(woreout) · (woreout) **Join Date: Aug 2006** 09-15-2007, 6:53 AM

Ted this guy wants to ride in your boat this time. It looks like you were telling him
"NO" in the 2nd pic, the last time he asked to ride in your boat.

(dreevs) · (dreevs) **Join Date: Jul 2002** 09-17-2007, 5:46 AM

I was trying to warn him about the shower that was comin...

(jgrunow) · (jgrunow) **Join Date: May 2004** 09-18-2007, 6:17 AM

Just booked my room. I got a 2 bedroom "suite" with a kitchen for $122. The normal rooms do not have kitchen's.

See you all there!

(dreevs) · (dreevs) **Join Date: Jul 2002** 09-18-2007, 12:05 PM

Are you planning on cooking?

(jgrunow) · (jgrunow) **Join Date: May 2004** 09-18-2007, 3:42 PM

Not anymore. I just realized I doubled booked that weekend and have to be somewhere else. If you guys still go have fun. If we change the weekend I will try to make it.

(byrd) · (byrd) **Join Date: Dec 2005** 09-19-2007, 6:30 AM

Sounds more like your girl told you you should be somewhere else, lol...

(duffy) · (duffy) **Join Date: Feb 2006** 09-19-2007, 2:56 PM

So what weekend are we planning now?

(jgrunow) · (jgrunow) **Join Date: May 2004** 09-20-2007, 3:59 AM

Nope...work told me I had to be somewhere else.

The only other weekend that can make work for me is the 1st weekend which is the 6th. I'm booked everyother weekend in October, you guys might have to go without me.
