there actually is a lot to do in that area, antiquing in Mount Dora is one of Sylvia's favorites.

Yep, every other weekend is insane...Hope nobody minds me showing up without the S.S. Driveway! lol
Unless I stumble across an extra grand or so to pump into her by then..

i'm sure there will be room on a boat for you to fish. my problem is which one to bring.

Bring the big one !!! Definitely count me in. The dates are immaterial to me but I'm liking the 15th, etc.
Now, I just need to convince the wife that she won't get eaten by a gator !!!!
Is everyone camping or getting a room somewhere? My wife's idea of camping is a Hyatt !

Re: Why not have a Iboats Florida Gathering?

Dates May 15, 16, 17, Just check with Kay at the Park, they have plenty of room at the present time.

your reservations to camp should be made throught Reservations America, http://www.reserveamerica.com/Campi...ndex=campDetail&contractCode=FL&parkId=281046

i think the campsites we should book range like this,
first 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,28,29,11,30,30,13,32,14,33 this keeps us together in the camping area.

Time to cash in them hotel reward points for me..My best half (Diane, btw) idea of camping is nowhere near a campground..go figger

Re: Why not have a Iboats Florida Gathering?

Hey CBK mine started out hating Camping,fishing and boating........Ha and she thought she was training me......Ha. Hotel is only 2 miles from campground I think so you can hang out at the campground and when you get tired take a short drive and have nice comfortable clean beds......Almost made me rethink camping.........for a min.

Re: Why not have a Iboats Florida Gathering?

Does any one here remember the first Iboat gathering. Spinner and i got one together many years ago. Over 100 said they would and three of us showed in St Louis area. Spinner and i drove 400 miles to meet and only lived 100 miles apart lol. I still have the t-shirt.

Next one was at Watts Bar in Tenn. I think maybe there was Spinner,BubbaKat and myself. Wisconsin was a good one we had many members. Had six one time at my Homestead in Minn.

As for the driving thing i have pulled my boat 700 miles for a get together. Na not stealn your thunder your just takn another step that was started back when alot of you were not even on board yet. As Mayfloat said it was great to sit around and tell lies and talkn about the folks who could not defend themselves.

I remember the thread about this.... Glad to see that I am not the pre-2003 member still around

Hi T.D. + Mike
How about requirements for fishing licences for out of state guests ??
Where is the nearest DNR office , and how is the DNR presence on the lake?

Re: Why not have a Iboats Florida Gathering?

sent you a PM, with details. for others here.

seeing the park rangers are game wardens, it would be advisable to have one.
