Okay boys and girls..... The end of 2021 is almost here so that means its time to plan for a Ruckus!!!!!! After a few discussions and texts asking if I was gonna plan a SJRR for 2022 I started the process. LET'S DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The weekend is set for April 7-10, 2022 at Parramores Fish Camp. Unfortunately its not the same weekend as the Sunnyland boat show because there were only 3 cabins available on the weekend of the show. Following protocol as the Ruckus is planned after the time change and the only weekend with lots of RV slots and multiple cabin availability. If you want the CCFan 10% discount ya gotta call Parramores and tell em your with the ski boat club. Same plan as always, A Ruckus favorite and take the 25 mile River Run from Moss Bluff damn through the Dora Canal and back with a lunch stop somewhere is the plan for Friday unless attendees wanna cruise and ski the St. Johns. We can make the call Thursday night at The Landing for the traditional warm up party. Sat night cookout after a trip to the Silver Glen on Sat is on the logbook! Bring your Correct Craft to Astor and lets have some nautical fun on the St.Johns River!!

Paul , that would be awesome! Glad to see the list is growing. I'll let Les and Art know we're coming along with a couple of other CC dignitaries that wanted me me to inform them of the Ruckus for 22' as they'd like to come for a day if possible. Reid is planning on coming and I believe his sidekick CQ will be attending as well. One of my local ski buds has asked me about it and sounds like he'll be attending for the first time as well. Keep signing up Y'all. I'm already getting excited and looking forward to it!

Hey everyone...Just wanted to let everyone know that Parramores Cabin rentals are all booked up for the Ruckus. Hopefully we were able to snag most of them. All that's left are RV slots and maybe a tent site or two. If you're still wanting to attend then it looks like Deland is the closest town that has hotels. There are a couple of places in Astor that you might could try but little info about them is available. Their website is either non existent or limited so you'll have to call them to book. Hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Years. We've passed the Winter solstice so Spring isn't too far away. Start working on your boat body now for those who care. Time to lose those Holiday pounds...You've got a few months.

Okay Kids....it's March 1st and we're about a month out from the Ruckus. It's time to start getting a boat uncovered, waxed up, oil changed and vinyl cleaned for some frolicking on the River. The Pre-Ruckus Scout Team has already been down in the Astor Area looking to possibly change the venue for 2023. Preliminary Reports are very positive so those of us that can get there early enough on Thursday are gonna go check out Renegades on the River Campground. It's on the St. Johns just a little North of Lake George in Crescent City. This facility has RV Camping, a few cabins a TiKi Bar and full service restaurant. So preliminary plans are to head up there Thursday early afternoon (weather permitting and Lake George conditions) to scout out the place, have a late lunch and to see if we wanna move there next year.
In other news....we need to start a list of who's is bringing what for the annual Sat Night Cookout at the Rec Hall. Our resident and well experienced GMM (Grill Master Mike) will be working his magic with the grill. He is a Professional Fireman so he knows a little bit about Fire Management. So bring something to help feed the masses and list here what you're contributing to the cause. I don't know about y'all but I'm ready to get back to warmer days and LOUD pipes on the St. Johns River! It's almost time to get your Ruckus On!!! Morfoot - Thurs- Sun 88 or 99 SN Dessert

Farmer's will be arriving around noon on Thursday until Sunday. I will be making my BBQ ribs for Saturday night's cookout. The rec hall is out of commission permanently but they will have the outside pavillion near the pool reserved for us for Saturday night. The normal large grill we have used for years is also permanently gone!! The owners said they will try to get a grill by the time we were there? If any locals wanted to bring a grill, that too would be GREAT!! Looking forward to a great time with everyone.....🍻🍻👍👍😀😀🚤🚤

We are planning on getting in on Thursday around noon. We unfortunately will be leaving Friday Night. Our ski club has a road show in Fanning Springs on Saturday so we will miss the BBQ.

Hi All, I fractured a bone in my foot so I am out of commission for 6-8 week, and have decided that the SJRR is a no go for me. Too much of a temptation to do something I might regret later(lol). I have the Bear Den and an uncovered boat slip reserved which I am going to cancel but before I do I wanted to check to see if anyone would want it. It is $395 for the cabin. The boat slip is reserved and would need to be paid for when you check in if you wanted it.

Thanks Mike for the backup and obviously reaching out to Parramores to get the hot scoop as to what's going on with what was formally the Rec Hall and the grill. Guessing they are taking down the seldom used Rec Hall and putting in another Cabin?? That being said this would probably be a good time to ask everyone to bring chairs for yourselves for Saturday night. Not sure what to expect but we should prepare for the unexpected. I have two folding plastic tables that I may be able to bring down to use as dinner tables or serving tables unless they have some stashed somewhere.
Art, hate to hear that you're not gonna attend but maybe rethink that. Gonna be quite the crowd in attendance this year so you'd have a good time even if you couldn't ski. Called Art C and Lester Todd yesterday to let them know we're coming down and we will see Lester for sure and Art probably on Sat. The plan is still to Run the Ocklawaha River even with the price of fuel Skyrocketing unless the majority wants to pass on that and play on the St. Johns instead. We'll make that decision Thursday night at The Landing. We're a month out Gang and I'm so ready for spring and to see all y'all. Morfoot - Dessert Fossett - Baked Beans Farmers - BBQ Ribs Dilkes - TBD Whatcha bringing gang???

I just spoke to Paramore's again in reference to the grill situation. Julie says they have a few charcoal grills that will probably be available for the Saturday night cookout, we will just need the charcoal. I am also planning on bringing a large propane flattop griddle. Tables and chairs will be set up for the cookout from what they have available. And, for those who didn't know, "The Landing" has been sold and is under new ownership with a new name "Drifters Riverfront", just in case anyone was trying to google the location. Looking forward to a GREAT gathering!!!!
