Tommy, in my opinion there wasn't a prettier place to run, for me it started in 1971. I sure had a lot of good times out there.

You might want to consider something like what Skip Olson puts on his Alaska rigs for loading and unloading http://southernairboat.com/photopost/data/500/Hunting_2008_007_1_.JPG They look pretty light and the arm folds down Holly crap!!!!!!!!!! My concern is that there are no elephants in this part...

In one my earlier posts on this thread I mentioned 'hilling' produce in the ground ...... my grandfolks did that too, but the deep South is way too warm for that. Anybody else familiar with what I'm talking about? :) We used to store are root vegetables under the house in the sand to keep them,you ...

yep when refrigeration was luxury. I make allot of my own sausage from wild hogs home feed hogs and deer rarely do i use store bought meat. http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i310/TED_03/bacon100_1123.jpg Even home made maple and molasses bacon this if from the neck of a wild pig. http://i75.photobu...

I We used to run the cypress with the buggy I have now, not so much any more. I run river ranch mostly which is a little different and north fl. like I say I am running those military surplus 36 hummer tires, but they spin alot and try to pick my spots. http://www.southernairboat.com/photopost/data/...

I ran a 11.00 x 24 on a68 cj 5 with I think 5.40 gears no problem

Can this help

Some parts of the old river is dead ends the part at boat ramp rd. is ,as for the pontoon boat keeping up if they stay in the canal it should be no problem I will most likely bring my bay boat and go on to the ocean
Doug

If someone has a pontoon boat they can carry gas coolers and camping stuff for those who will be staying over night

Had to look up what a Limpkin was. Your knowledge of the glades, stories and openness to people stopping by to say hello is very much appreciated Gerald. The Limpkin is the bird (28/30" tall, dark color with silver specks on it's wings) that always wait till the last second to fly up from the ...

Gerald, The clutch drive is worth a look. A good captain can learn very fast what his boat can really do in slow speed docking and turning. Have you run a twin screw boat? Yes, the big boats are twin engine. It's not the idle speed that makes a difference, it's the wind pushing the boat side ways w...

This should help keep them things warm and could help with the other post
