My folks are leaving for Florida on Friday in their '48 Ford coupe dubbed "creamsickle"

It's orange and cream. They will be there thru the end of April. Anyway, can I get some more details from you regarding this event? They are always looking for new place to cruz to and new events to participate in.

Hi Denise, Where are your folks going to be wintering at? River Ranch is a western theme place with a hotel, campground and now with the new owner - time share condos out in the middle of nowhere. They have horse back riding, a weekend rodeo, a saloon and other cowboy stuff. It is located on Florida highway 60, between Lake Wales and Vero Beach, 18 miles west of the Florida Turnpike YeeHaw Junction exit. I'll be happy to share any info I have on Florida happenings with them. If you/they want I can PM you my cellphone number.

Yeehaw Junction, you Fla folks sure think up some funny names. Why not stick with the standard stuff like we do out west? Like Gila Bend, Road Forks and Zzyzxx?

Wish I could make River Ranch. Sounds like a good time.

I love Zzyzxx, every time I drive by that sign, I chuckle. Do remember the comic strip even.

When you're here in February I'll run you up to Yeehaw Junction for breakfast at the Desert Inn, than run past River Ranch, over to Frostproof, down through Okeechobee on out way to Ojus. That should be all the sites worth seeing, especially if we stop at the Cypress Knee Museum over by Fish Eating Creek. Then if you want from Hollywood we could go though Beverly Hills on our way to Havana with a stop in Niceville to adjust your attitude. And if time allows we could climb Mt. Dora.

any of you ever been to Zap North Dakota? Their sign was sure tempting, but no I didn't

Normspeed · January 11, 2007, 11:10:45 PM

Never been to Zap, but I've visited Beaver more than once.

Then there was that trip to Medicine Bow, WY a hundred years ago.

Sounds like we're setting up the route for the next Map Trivia Power Tour. Now back to the original question. Any Florida folks or snowbirds going to River Ranch? Might be able to save a few parking spots together.
