here's the entrance to the trail. off the main rd of state rd 19. across the street from last yr's site.

I can't tell but are those little wetspots in the third and fourth pictures? I'll give it a shot making it through, I'm fairly certain I can make it. If it looks bad though I may need a back up plan. I might bring a few landing mats out to get across some soft spots.

 

[bluedog]

small boats can be launched from the beach spot.

 

[Phooker]

the more I look at it the more i think I can make it through. It's all about floating across, will anybody have an air compressor there to air it back up in case anybody has to air down?

the pics with water are from across the street at the old spot. must of mixed them up by accident. the new site is all sugar sand only.

 

[Phooker]

I thought it looked familiar, lol. I think with couple of cattle panels I can make it through, but I doubt I'll need em.

good idea, matt. the sides of the trail is mostly small twigs and small bushes. the biggest problem is over head and that's what were trimming. pete, said, he is putting his wife on the top of the camper with a pole saw, as they'e go through. i wonder if she knows that yet. i lost an ex wife one time doing the same thing. checking the over passes for height, going down 95, at 70 mph. god i miss that camper.:hehe:

Just got off the phone with my insurance company, it seems falling off the top of a moving camper with a saw in your hand isn't covered.

Wait...I wonder if shes covered if she has a beer in her hand...

[Phooker]

do we need a permit to go shoot hogs? I can't ever remember because they are considered a nuisance

 

[bluedog]

in other words, you can bring a firearm as long as it's locked securely in you'r vehicle or camper etc. you don't have to have a concealed weapons permit. also remember there will be kids present. think safety at all times.
