We had folks attending from Ca., Ind., W.V. , Al. ,Fla., La. Az. and Ok. I may have missed a few .
 
I live in the Port Charlotte area. I would be interested. If it could be a more central location. Maybe Moore Haven/Clewiston. There may be alot of members in the Tampa/ST. Pete area that could go. The North Florida was far from there wasn't it? I would think that early December would have the best weather. Usually around 80 and sunny. I usually get sunburned hanging my Christmas lights in early December. I could see wanting to stay around Miami, but that is a busy area. How about the Everglades City area? Or even Golden Gate? Just thinkin'
 
Cool, I'm game

                        Love camping, a place where Kayaking as well would be killer.

,Johnathan Dickinson has camping and river access to the Loxahatchee,

Fisheating Creek is a nice campground.........http://fisheatingcreekoutpost.com

Canoe and Kayak rentals available at both

but Id travel for Kayaking, The Springs up north are awesome!
 
I haven't been there but it looks great. If it was late in the year, the mosquitos would not be a problem after the dry November. The ad says:  Paddling the cypress swamps or hiking our hardwood forests you can see alligators, turtles, deer, wild boar, turkey, wading birds, raptors, an occasional black bear and more. Is is a good idea to have alot of bar-b-que people around those animals? I've had gator, but never smoked. mmmmmm......
 
He Al and Doug,

I just joined a few days ago but would love to attend, even

if its just a few of us. I'm in E. Naples (extreme west coast)

but I don't mind the drive and the wife and I love to get away

whenever we can. Uh.....you do allow wives right?
hey MoMM welcome!  of course wives, girlfriends, friends are welcome!

we havent nailed down a destination yet but keep checking on here. 

and if anyone has places in mind we are all ears!
 
Johnathon Dickenson was brought up before...i've never been there but from what i've heard its a nice place.  I'm really liking this Snake Bite Creek place based on the pictures. 

both good suggestons...any other opinions or options

 Well there is no way I would consider camping now. Dam 101º out there on my screen porch.

One of the attendees lives on the road so I guess you could say NFL had attendees from every state in the Continental US

Not sure about the rest of N Carolina but I do know that western N. Carolina is one of the most beautiful places in the country.
 
 Somewhere off the Loxahatchee Aquatic Preserve??
hm not sure flash, that's a little north of me but i'll look into it.  Are you gonna make it down here in the Fall for the gathering? it's only 4-4.5 hours, i know the drive well from williston/gainesville to here

 Depends on whether I have any money left from taking the wife up to see her mother in NC. We usually do that in the latter part of October. Shoot, I haven't even made a North Florida one yet either.
