[WeeBee]

Hope you had a Fun night out!

[jen]

Some did some had too much...fun.

[WeeBee]

[jen]

GOOD Morning Family Reunion Attendees...Yes its time to get ready for that Family reunion...I need to loose aa few more pounds OMG!

But plan ahead. Watch old family videos, go through old photo albums so you know who everybody is or was ??

Get your spiel set up:

Why aren't you married...I have not met the right guy yet

Do you go to church every Sunday?....yes my Priest remembers our family. I have a picture of my priest and me to show.

Do you live by yourself? ........Yes, I work from home so I don't like distractions. 

Go over to where the old men are sitting.  Talk to the old men. They love to talk about guns and fishing and it keeps me away from nosey Aunts who want to question me or "fix ' me up with some guy.

And remember don't drink too much.  I talk too much when I drink and tell things you shouldn't tell.

When they square dance partner with Uncle Clyde as he is a good square dancer.

Bueno...GoooD Morning Puerto Vallarta...A Mexican Engineer and I drove there from Tepic, Mex. on a weekend.   His wife and kids lived there. I stayed in a Hotel that was on the Beach.  Had my hair braided, had my photo taken ( they live on Tip$$) and  went surfing. Beaches are very clean.   It's a great tourist town.  Marlin Fi$hing i$ great there if you can afford it.

A White shirt cop stopped me said I ran a red light. ( White shirt police are tourist friendly ...LOL..and speak English.)  . The police wanted to search me or go to police sub station. 

Fortunately i had my Mexican friend the Engineer with me.   He got them to just take my US driver  license and a give me a ticket.

My hotel Concierge told me that he would go to police station and pay the  ticket and get my drivers license..  He said it was not wise for me to go.

 He did pay the ticket but could not get my driver's license.  He said they probably sold it.

The people in Puerto Vallarta, as in most of Mexico, are friendly and honest. 

I had to pee while we were driving. My friend pulled up to a private residence. We walked up and he knocked on the door.  He explained to the lady ho lived there.  She did not hesitate and smiled at me as she let me in to use her house bathroom.  Oh MY!

 

[Gwbarm]

Thats crazy!

[jen]

I think that is my Hotel in the internet pic...lovely beach. not white sand but clean.

BTW my attorney friends who Marlin Fish in tournaments close to there  stopped going as it was getting too crazy.

[jen]

I always have a driver when in Mexico.   That was only time I drove a little.  Sometimes my driver would make me sit in the rear so pan handlers in Guadalajara would not see me and pester him for money.  One time my driver did not arrive to pick me up.  Finally, after several hours another man showed up to take me to the job.  He was in an ICA truck so I got in.  He said my driver hit a chicken and was in jail until he made restitution to the owner. You got to laugh!

[Gwbarm]

You are doing a lot of fun stuff for someone so young, keep having fun and enjoy life.

[jen]

Gooooddd  MORNinnnnng    people...many of us are planning that fall ATV / off road  get together.     IBID, I am planning!  Mine is with family... So in following weeks I will tell you my plans ands hope to hear yours.   

Right out of the gate I am considering  Ocala National Forest, Florida. for family this side of the Mason / Dixon line.

I've warned you before ...carry a gun ....check regulations as you will need open carry if you don't have CCP...I don't like open carry.  But that is just me.  

Take a Map as you can easily get lost.

Not morning but I'll say it anyway. Good morning all, better late than never 

[jen]

[jen]

Good Morning Withlacoochee State forest   The ATV trails in the Croom area are great...Some water. Located in central Florida close to west coast off I 75 it is great for  a family event.

Day trip to the beach in St Petersburg.  Visit the Citrus Winery (Probably the only Citrus winey in the US) about two blocks from the beach.  Try the Category 5 wine...My clothes get loose!

[shorty]

Good morning all

GOOOOdDD Morrnnning Key Largo, LA.   I love Key West Little too Woke sometimes.  But Key Largo Is my favorite.  Soooo Relaxing . I stay on the Gulf side with the beach right at my at my cottage. My cottage was not airconditioned.    Pack light; 24/7 swim suit apparel.    Paddle boarding and sail Boating is easy access. John Penta camp SP is just down the road.   Summertime is off season and a lot of fun.

Plus if hurricanes visit (late summer October is worse)  it is much easier to evacuate from Key largo than Key west...Been there, done that got caught one time in Key West.

[WeeBee]

My Buddy had a place in Key Largo on the Atlantic side ,lost everything a few years ago except his boat which he trailered up to Miami! I enjoyed visiting there several times ! 

[jen]

HMMM...2022 Ian  bad bad. I was caught in Nicole and by luck she went around Key West and we saw quadrant two side wind and rain.  But even that the waves were across the road as I drove north.

Hurricanes are bad but Tornadoes in the Mid West!!! OMG  They scare me to death.

Key Largo  is beautiful.  I stay there as it is easy access to Homestead Nasar track.

[WeeBee]

This was Hurricane Irma 2017 that wiped out a lot of Key Largo on the Atlantic side ,we went there 2wks. later when the road was opened for Residents only ,such devastation was unreal!

GOOOD Morning Chief LOgan State park WV....talk about planning your family / Friends ATV get -it-on fall weekend  This is a great spot.  The park trails have a connector to the Hatfield-McCoy trail.  

I like State parks as they offer Camping as well as Lodges and Cabins.  I mean after riding all day I am sweaty and ready for the Hot Tub 

Here is a  pic From H-Mc trail...

[Gwbarm]

Nice Ride, i have never been to West Virginia, no good reason to go there, but pretty country.

[jen]

Being a struggling State economically they very aggressive in Tourism   They have thousands of ATV and SXS trails on State parks.   

However, Non Ethanol fuel is spotty in WV...I only run Non Ethanol gas in small motors...So I transport fuel a lot.  

However, now is the time to plan the fall outing...summer is waning!

[shorty]

Smart keeping ethanol out of the small engines. I do the same but it's getting almost impossible to find ethanol free gas. I have an OLD small plane that needs ethanol free AND 100 octane. Most airports sell it but they have no competition so $5 or more per gallon 

[Gwbarm]

Exxon and Chevron around here both have it, but they claim its not an Exxon or Chevron product not sure where it comes from. Its about 1.00 a gallon more and it only comes in 87 octane have not seen any 100 octane at any gas stations.

[shorty]

I found a local source for 93 octane ethanol free. It runs ok on 93 but when traveling I'm stuck buying the airport gas. Carrying 5 gallon jugs behind my seat scares me. It's ok in the back of a pickup but behind my seat 😰

[jen]

yes in my truck it is ok but traveling in My Highlander i use the reciever rack for gas.

[jen]

Goood Morning Montana!  I love that state.  I started out from Kalispell and drove north through the Nat park.  The roads had just opened.  and went to Great falls and eventually Missoula.  Varied landscape but stunning . I saw a lot of ATV signs but i was working. Here is a map of just a few ATV  OHV.  

Plan your Fall get-it -together

[shorty]

That's currently my part of the nation, Wyoming.. but grew up in Florida. North of lake Okeechobee Florida is ATV friendly 

[jen]

BTW Bear spray is good but my Canadian friends claim the Air Blaster horns work great and are smaller

[jen]

Good Morning Mt Rainier,WA...."I don't think we are in Florida Toto."   Beautiful lush valleys and trails this time of year. It was just awesome .  Spread out  our blanket and lets just enjoy.  No Spanish Bayonet or Sawtooth Palmetto jabbing me just lush flowers.  There are ATV trails around but I was just hiking.
