Central Florida Members, "How many "

Howdy All...

Id like to know How Many members do we have
here in Central FL. Please stand up and be seen .

The reason im asking is this, Maybe if we have enough
to do this, After Hunting Season, I think we could put
on a cook out ??? get together if y'all were interested
in doing this and let it be a Family thing with all of us
from here in Central FL. Of corse any GON member would be welcomed too if they happen to be in the area at the time . Now im just putting out my feelers to see if anyone else would be interested . This is why I ask how many
Members we have here in Central FL .

Im in Eustis FL, I know Bill is in Apopka others down around
Tampa and Lakeland . Im thinking of Rock Springs in Apopka to hold it for now. Havent been there in a while
Maybe Bill can update us on the Rock Springs park.
I know there is the springs for the kids and swimming area
with stream float down ( Extemely Cold water ).
Also they did have Covered Pavillions and plenty of room for parking . But HEY, Im open to your thoughts and sugestions or if we should even try this .

So What does everyone here in FL think about this.
Thats why im getting a head start on it Now.
Again any GON member is Welcome !!!

Thanks Guy's

I have a big Smoker "Wood Fired" on wheels to travel
as long as we could have it to where I didnt have to pull it to far . If we could all agree this would be a positive outting for all .

Do they have camping there for us out-of-towners? We stayed at Blue Spring SP awhile back and loved that place.

I am Jay, just north of Tampa, Land O Lakes. 14yr old son and 1 yr old daughter for the swimming part.

I'm in south Lake county. Any of the state parks would be good. Ocala has some nice ones with campgrounds. I'm not sure about swimming after hunting season, though. Unless you wait until June

Maybe early spring before turkey season. There are quite a few of us Florida folks on here. There are some good GA folks that come down this way, as well. It sounds like good fun.

Bill

I'm in, keep me posted.

Great we have 5 so far , I know there are
some guys not online yet, but its a start .

Jay, I dont live to far from Blue Springs
and it is a beautiful place .
Rock Springs used to allow camping I know that
But I dont know if they still do. We can find out.

Duckbill, Ocala has some good campsites
But the Rainbow's might be in there after Hunting season
Thats the only reason I didnt bring it up. And its Very
primitive camps.

from south lake county as well, i would be interested in putting some faces to these names.

Mitch Winter Haven........in!!!!!!!!!!!

7 so far, looks promissing if every one gets to come
or will . Dont want to do it if yer not serious about doing
it . I will be smokeing pork Butts or ??? so when we
get it finelized I'll know how much pork we'll need .

If any one else who's a member of Gon ,your welcome
to come too if your in the area when we get it set and in
stone . I think this will be good to have it at one of the state parks where camping is allowed . There is another
state park on the ST. Johns River actualy a nice place as well , Its a Island " Hontoon Island" the state takes you over the river by pontoon to get to it, The have camping,
modern bath rooms, Primitive camping (Tents )
Even have a small bait house and store and Ice drinks etc..

Thanks Guy's lets make this a reality !!!

Will our pop-up fit on the pontoon? I have my wife all over me to get a full sized camper and get ride of the pop-up already, I know I will not get her back into a tent. We also have a 1yr old, I dont want to share a tent with her.

Sorry Bud , its Primitive camping ( Tents ) .
But we have time still to look at other places.
I myself prefer a tent, but this is me ...
Dont know about Blue Springs , they might let campers
pop up's in there .
Like I said, we still have time, and find something suitable
for all who want to camp . My main thing is I dont want
to have to pull my trailerd smoker to heaven and back .

im up for it keep us posted on date and location

I am in, down in Sarasota.

I'm in Bradenton.

Wade here in Auburndale! Sounds like a good time to me.
