Just a quick reminder that in lieu of the Poker Run (due to environmental conditions) we will be having a club meeting and cookout on Burnt Island tomorrow (Saturday). We will be getting there to set up between 9-10am at the pavilion and will serve Hamburgers and Hotdogs around 1pm. Hope to see a few of y'all's smiling faces tomorrow. BTW, the railroad crossing is back open.

We hope everyone is well and enjoying this spring weather, other than the insane drought we are currently in.

At the March meeting with members and the B.O.D., it was decided, due to the current conditions of the lakes and trails, to postpone the Poker Run until further notice. With current dry conditions, low humidity and the extremely low rainfall we feel this was the wisest course of action.

We are still planning to have a cookout & gathering out at Burnt Island, if for nothing else, to see everyone and hang out for a bit.
So true our normal Poker Run date, always the SATURDAY after Easter, we hope to see some folks out at Burnt Island on April 11th. We will be there most of the morning and plan to have Hamburgers and Hotdogs ready to serve around 1pm.

Stay tuned for info on some planned activities for that day.
Be well and have a very Happy easter.

We are all stewards of the US&AA and Airboating in general, please keep this in mind. Opinions of Airboats and Airboaters start with YOU!

For those that are interested, we are having a meeting at the Eagles Nest Cafe tomorrow, Sunday, at 4:00 p.m. If anyone is interested in the future of this club, I recommend you be at this meeting. We need to discuss the club as a whole and the upcoming poker run in April. See y'all there.

Alachua County Parks and Open Space has temporarily closed the Watermelon Pond Park boat ramp to the launching of watercraft due to low water levels caused by ongoing dry conditions.

The boat ramp, located at 10700 SW 250th St. in Newberry, is unsafe for vessel launching as water levels at the site have dropped significantly.

There is no estimated date for reopening the boat ramp. The closure will remain in effect until sufficient rainfall raises water levels that allow for safe access.
