Not necessarily calling ACBS folks peckerheads. But whoever’s genius idea it is to close the docks, well it’s their glass slipper that fits. Whether it’s boardmembers, common vote, or the city, I don’t know. Seems dumb to bring temporary docks to an annual event that annually closes docks to boaters. Our group lost interest in going because we can’t dock. That’s ~12 people, 2 boats, $120 plus whatever else we would’ve bought.

Might’ve been some confusion before, well I know I was with local stories, but there will be temporary docks as I seen them this morning. Whether or not the docks are for boats in the show or visitors I do not know. I know sometimes the show folks are unfriendly pecker heads closing the docks of for water bound visitors.

Just a reminder to all those attending this years’ event…The official Coozie of the River Ruckus will be available for purchase as you can never have enough and you’ll never know who will have one or where they’ll end up.
 I do not know who this young lady is or where she got a Ruckus Coozie but a co-worker who was tailgating at a Grateful Dead Concert in Atlanta saw her walking around, recognized the coozie and asked her if it was okay to take her picture to show me.

Good to hear Steve hope to see you and the hard work you've done to restore the boat.
Thurs- Welcome to the Ruckus Party at "Shell Island" possibly the Silver Glen then off to The Essex for an overdose of great Fried food. Fri- Trailer boats to Moss Bluff Dam to Run the River to the Dora Boat show. Dinner at the Blackwater Inn Sat- Watersports to your hearts content and a trip to the Silver Glenn Springs for a good time and close ups of members boats with the Cookout at Parramores Sat Night. Sun - More River antics and trailering home for those who made the trek there. Bottom line is that the only Plan in Place is to Run the River on Friday to the show and Sat night cookout. Other then that it's whatever people wanna do, |

I may be able to attend. I live near Mt Dora and will likely do the Tavares boat show and or possibly meet up on St Johns, Last leg of my resto is underway so should be ready.
Can someone post a more up date schedule? |

 No worries Mike.... Getting pretty excited about the weekend myself. My youngest daughter Tamara who is a college student at Valdosta may come down for the weekend with her Beastie... Started getting the boat ready a couple days ago.

Well I was gonna wait until the first of March to bring this up but since you have then lets getting rolling. Need a head count anyway so if your planning on doing the River Cruise to the show speak up, if you're bringing a a boat and how many are going. Need to let the Tavarres Boat Show folks know how many arm bands ($5 a person) are needed as well as boats. Will have River Ruckus Coozies available for purchase if you need/want more. We have the Rec Hall and Grill reserved for our traditional Sat night "Whatcha Brought" cookout.

I was just there today. Beautiful day on the MC. All docks but for the ramp approach, still gone. There is also ongoing road construction along the lakefront. I would like to think that will be complete by Sunnyland show, but it has been dragging. I am confident that regardless of progress of floating docks or road, we will have a great time.

This place isn't bad either right adjacent to 2 boat ramps, in case you need bait too! Hopefully someone can revive Blair's Jungle Den, although it maybe a lost cause. |

For those looking for a place to stay for The Ruckus (other than a tent or RV) as Parramores is full here is a place on the River that might fit your needs. On the River and looks as if you may be able to rent a slip to keep the boat in the water so as to run up to Parramores via water instead of the Car.
Castaways This one is also a stones throw from Parramores and a few Fans have stayed there... Astor Marina |
