  1. I may have fixed this blog. Always click on the "comments" after - "THIS IS A NEW BLOG FOR MYAKKA RIVER RIDERS NEWS, UPCOMING EVENTS AND RIDES." If there are comments, the number before the "comments" will change, but use that one ONLY! This way maybe we can keep it all on one page and show ALL the posts in one place. I will check and see if this sucker works better. Diane D

  11. Hay everyone that was interested in camping @ O'leno the week of March 14-20th 2011. Well, I spoke with them again on the 1/24th. They have a Banjo Event that week-end.
    We would like to change the week-end after. week of March 21st til the week-end.
    Don & I were going to leave in the middle of the week Wednesday.
    Let's try to have a trailer count so we could let the Park Know. They normally don't care but since we are a club it would be nice.
    Lets take a count at the Febuary Meeting.
    Thanks Debbie White.

  12. The ranger at O'Leno says the banjo festival is held in the regular campground, not the equestrian park. Some of us thought we would like to hear the banjos and would like to keep it for Feb 18th. The ranger also put down that there would be 10-12 trailers from MRR. If you have any questions call Judy

  13. Correction to the last post - the O'Leno campout is the weekend of March 18. Feb 18 is Tidewater campout.

    ReplyDelete
  14. OKAY!!! Which is it Feb 18th was a reservation for 10 trailers at Tidewater. At the January meeting we said March 18th was the Oleno campout. Go to Myakka River Riders web site. Click on Upcoming events.
    What do we belive. One place or none. To hard for me top get out of work for these camp outs. I'd love to go to more,but if we can't all get together I'm not rejoining the Club for another year. I'm calling the Park tomarrow and ask for myself. Why be in a club when everyone goes different ways.

  15. Okay spoke with th ranger. Debbie is right some folks for the Banjo Event do bring horses.

  16. Judy had already called and talked to the ranger after Deb found out about the Banjo Fest. He said a few banjo people do bring horses,but mostly utilized the other area, thought we'd be fine. He did write down that we were planning on coming (10 trailers) (nothing concrete..not reserved, but just in case another group calls & asks). Said it's o.k to go over to the other area & listen. Being there the same time as the banjos sounds fun to me!...hope we decide to keep it on March 18th weekend, but will talk about it at next meeting & see what everyone wants to do.
    Had a great weather on the Saturday Deer Prairie ride! :>) Diane P.

  17. I hope to be able to join you guys for part of the weekend - as long as I am not working - Truck seems to be OK for now. Looks like the head gasket sealer (Blue Devil) is working. Now it is up to the work schedule. Do they have electric? Thanks - Lindy

  18. Lindy, Debi White here.
    They have electric at the barn only. It's Primitve camping. Be carefulon that stuff you used for the head gasket. keep an eye on your temp gauage from now on, Keep your coolant/water level up to where it needs to be. If it runs to low it will set up. You may need a radiator at different time ?

  20. Hello to everyone. So far for the Tidewater campout I have a confirmation from, Marcia, Roberta, Judy, Diana & Dan and myself. I think both Dianes and Johnny Lou. If there is anyone else just give me a call. I am sure there would not be a problem to be over our reserved 10 trailers. Just let me know. Thanks and looking forward to seeing you all again. Renee
