I've gotten my foot in the door with the local politicians about the building of a park similar to Hollister Hills. It would be in Jacksonville, FL. I was told to get a petition started, and the more people from out of town willing to travel the better. Shows the local politicians that non local money would come to area merchants, and they eat that up. If you would be willing to pass a petition around to your wheelin buddies, let me know at bogginnut@msn.com and I will get a copy to you. Even if you really don't plan on visiting, your hel[p would be greatly appreciated by a ton of other fellow wheelers with no place to legaly ride. Thanks for your time. Sean Williams

Hell yeah man. HIgh time we had something in Florida! I'm all about it.:cool:

Reddwarf, sent you an e-mail. Anyone else think they could help me out? Sean

Shoot me an email and I'll see what I can do in Tampa and surrounding areas.

I'm not sure if I got back to those that replied, I've been swamped with emails about this, but here is an update. I had a converastion with a WELL connected local businesswoman today, who knows both the Mayor and the Director of Parks and Recreation. She is backing the idea and said she would set me up a meeting. After that, I'll know which direction to take this thing. I'll update when I have more info. Sean

Any up dates on this

Jacksonville is 6 hours from me, I would be willing to travel....

Let us know what you come up with.

Subject is dead in the water. Sorry I haven't updated sooner, been waiting, still waiting, and it doesn't look good.

You got mail from jeepclub@cj7.com
I will get it around the club members. Let me know when it has to be returned.

Oh well:rolleyes:

Post this over on www.caos4x4.com if you want. We are in Central Alabama. Good luck on the park, and if things don't work out, feel free to come up here and play at GrayRock (www.grayrockorv.com).

Let me know if I can help out.. I'm in Jax and I know a lot of people who would be interested... Might want to get in touch with claycounty4x4.com and ocalajeepclub.com.

Keep us posted... again, Let me know if I can help out!!

November 8th there is a Jeep show up at Hooters at Regency... it would be a good place to pass out flyers and get people interested.

It'll be a few months before anything starts to happen again. I'm waiting on the new administration to get settled in. Thanks for the support.
Sean

Hell yeah I'm up for it. I know there are at least 3 of us from this board that I hang out with in NW FL. 6 hours isn't bad if the wheelings good. Keep us informed

sent you an email, it would be cool to wheel somewhere other than the same old places

Yeah, any news on this?:confused:

It'll be months fellas. First of the year I'll make the rounds and post up. Thanks for the support.

Good Luck

Well, this is more action that we have had in a while. For some odd reason, FL has nothing for decent offroading.

A magazine editor contacted me a few weeks ago about OHV parks in FL and I explained to him that there was nothing and tried to explain about the few proposals we have had. He was doing a story on ORV parks in the state so maybe this will help us out.

If the magazine guy wants it, I'll give him all the info I have.
