googling drive times for me. Crystal river 6 hrs, homasassa 6 1/2hrs, dunedin and st pete almost the same 7 3/4 hrs. looking at mileage is around 1200 round trip... I am going to have to camp to afford it...lol fuel bill for the tahoe around 4-500 round trip... unless i can keep my foot off the floor... Just found out today the company i work for sold the division were i work... now the waiting game starts...

Discussed this with Susan tonight and we vote the Ramada and Anclote - for what its worth. Which is not much since we are between both and it doesn't matter other than the area and it doesn't get much better than Anclote - if anyone wants to grouper fish I have hundreds of good numbers within 15 miles of Anclote.

Rusty said he had a house in NPR to stay at so that may help him.

Denny you are correct - coming over 710 to 98 in Oki thru Zolfo Springs to 64 is a great drive and great roads. The run north gets worse but just running over 75/275/ Skyway and dropping in at Ft Desoto would allow you to hook up with the guys driving up, as they have to go right passed there.

That price at the Ramada might even allow some folks to arrive on thurs rather than Fri and still cost less, I'm guessing 20 to 30 for a slip in St Pete 90 + 30 and a 12% bed tax in Pinelllas, NPR is in Pasco.

Denny the North Bar at Anclote is pet friendly as is the Ramada so Shadow better be coming, just like Sandy it wouldn't be right without her - just say'in

It would be like not having DonV too, he's kinda a dog

Didn't realize I was going to send you some, that computer is down right now but will take care of that as there all in the GPS too and Gags just opened. You could try my Stilletoo that weekend too, I still want to see what it will do on a 23.

Sounds good

"It would be like not having DonV too, he's kinda a dog"

And damn proud of it!! :)

Hey Anclote is good by me!! ESD's grouper numbers will make it even more productive!

Gotta be by December 3rd though!!

I guess you lost me here...to many mixed messages...

Where is the Ramada and does the Ramada have dockage? Do we boat from the Ramada to Anclote or ???

What dates are we now looking at?

Thanks,

The Ramada is in New Port Richey, at Gulf Harbors which is very close to Anclote. It has docks right outside the rooms and $68 per night includeing the dockage, at that price maybe make it an extra day.

The St Pete site near Ft Desoto would be about $110 including the slip

both places have Nov 1 -2 available - last weekend of Daylight savings but dates are not set

Danny maybe start a tally of votes for dates and places

X NOV 1,2 and the NPR ....
My offiical unofficial ballet. lol
unless we move it further north...
then i vote for that ...lol Just tell me were to show up...
i was haveing trouble finding Anclote... i knew i had seen the name on a map but couldn't put my thumb on it... then i looked on the water and BAM... there it was ..lol

Dates and ramada sound good to me!
