All this recent talk of "naming the street", and the fact that I missed all the OTHER rallies held this year, got me thinking. Hell, I'll host my own rally, Florida-style!
There is a KOA Kampground on Highway 441, right between Apopka and Zellwood that looks promising. Right down the street is a nice little county park, Magnolia Park, that allows camping for a reasonable rate, also. Another county park, Kelly Park (Rock Springs), is right nearby. Wekiva Springs State Park is very nice, and Lake Louisa State Park and Blue Springs State Park have cabins, too.
Good riding, all around this area. Winter Garden and Mt. Dora are quaint little towns with plenty of restaurants and things to do.
Anyone interested? It would be the weekend BEFORE the Superbowl, so there should be nothing to conflict.
Show up or don't. I'll still be riding!
The floor is now open for discussion on this topic.
Here are links to some of the places I mentioned:

Wow, 220 reads and no replies. I think that would be because our roads in Florida, at least from a twisty/elevation changing standpoint, SUCK. Unfortunately, unless it is off road riding your doing when riding in Florida it all about the destination and not the ride. See you in Boone, Steve.
This would be a great escape! Wish I could make it...
Too busy and poor. With the house/shop build. Or I would love to get outta the snow.
Well, it looks like this may turn into a simple "join me for a ride", as no one has expressed interest in the lodging aspect.
Rest assured, I *WILL* be riding my FJ in this area, during this time frame. If anyone would like to join me, you are officially invited.
PM me if you need my phone number.
