So Gang.... Lets have some recommendations for a Meet & Greet location and drive for when our friends from across the pond are here! We have a few days to plan and get ideas. Once we have a few I think we can post this as a voting question on "Florida Crossfire Owners Group" and the majority selects??? Sound alright? Let me know your suggestions here and I will post them there if you do not have Facebook.

 

Well everybody wants to meet the Mouse.

 

Sunday July 27th.
Meet in "The Villages" at Too Jay's ( 900 Delmar) for lunch 11:30 am. Drive to Silver Springs and take the Glass Bottom boat tour. Then Drive to Micanopy via Cross City. (Historic areas to visit). Then drive to Cedar Key for Dinner (restaurant to be selected) & Sunset

 

Sounds like fun except isn't the Silver Springs admission $35 ? Is more of an all-day thing. Also the last time I was in Cedar Key the parking was "interesting".


ps heard they hang speeders in the Villiages.

 

Close
That wsa from when they were privately owned. It is now a state park.

OK but if we meet at the Villiages, drive to Silver Springs for the boat ride, then Cross Creek (Margory Rawlings home)/ Micanopy /Cedar Key and the driving is like 130 miles. (Am assuming the Cross City was a misprint, Cross City is over by Chieftain).


Or could go to SS then the Don Garlitts and NPD museums (both on I-75) south of Ocala then Cedar Key (Enjoy looking for antique radios & books at Micanopy but not sure everyone does). About 110 miles.

Any plans for dinner ? Either Tony's or the Island Hotel are quiet have room for several, and have great food.

 

I like Tony's even though they add a 23% gratuity on the check. But our Guest of honor say no seafood and Tony's only has one non seafood dish.. I will make reservations tomorrow once we have a better count.

 

wish i could be there, sounds like fun,,, Today i had a prostate biospy done this morning , no long trips for a week,, Hope you guys can make it down to pbir,, ,,,, Jupiter Fl. for the StreetRacingMadeSafe.com on Oct 19. jim

 

Padgett will you be joining us? Need to know for the reservations.

 

Planning on it iffn th crik dont rise. Have GPS programmed.

 

Will there be one or two in your party?

 

Just me. (10 character minimum.)

 

We saw some of you driving north on 441 just north of the golf cart bridge. Impressive turnout. I think we counted between 15 - 20 Crossfires. We were in the Soul, headed south. No MB today!

I need a Crossfire.

 

We had a great Get Together. We had guests from the U.K. Crossfire Group. We would be happy to assist you in your shopping for a Crossfire. We have a rather large group here in Florida and are all over the state for our meets.
