2016 St. Johns River Ruckus

Well CCFans as this year is winding down and us Northern Hemisphere owners are starting the task of putting our CC's to sleep for the winter, I've had several of you ask me about when St. Johns was gonna be. So here is the official thread of the River Ruckus.

Looking ahead at the calendar for next year it's looking like the best weekend for this is going to be March 18-20. DaylIght savings starts the weekend before and Easter weekend is the week after so it's looking like this is going to be the weekend to do it unless we wanna get into April but that is pretty close to the White Lake Mini.

The Sunnyland Boat show is the same weekend so those that wish to go to that can do so. Last year we had several boats head to the show via the Ocklahawa River. It was quite the journey as it included trailering the boats to a state park, launching, navigating thru the river which included one lock and two lakes but the end result was going thru the Dora Canal then pulling right up to the boat show. It was a lot of fun so a repeat of that can be done or CCFans can just do whatever they want.

In keeping with SJRR tradition...."The Plan is......There is No Plan". We are going back to simple roots of how this mini started and having only a "Bring What Y'all Brought" cookout on Sat night. Nothing fancy just keeping it simple as it has been expressed to me by many of regular attendees that everyone just wants to hang out with one another ON THE WATER!.

I would guess that Parramores will continue to be ground central as it has everything we need to hold an event like this. To you newcomers Parramores has cabin rentals, RV slots, tent camping, and a restaurant that serves a mean breakfast. Look at past SJRR's for recaps of what goes on down there. Miles and Miles of smooth water for the taking,(minus a few gators here and there) Manatees if you're lucky, birdlife, springs, but best of all LOUD BOATS!

Pipe up and let your thoughts about dates etc known here. This is an event for EVERYONE so bring what ya got but leave the tube at home as this is NOT a tube friendly event. Gators have been known to attack defenseless tubes so best keep them at home. We want as many people to attend as possible and to get away from old man winter for our extreme Northern friends so if this weekend doesn't work for you then speak now or forever hold your peace.
