Re: RC: Green Swamp Stomp

[Truman Prevatt <tprevatt@mindspring.com>]

Yes by all means promote it. A bit of history. This area is not a swamp.
The green swamp is the name given to a large area in central FL because
it is the head waters of most of the major rivers in FL. In fact this
area is so important to the future of FL's water supply that much of it
is now owned by the Southwest Water Management District which manages
the land. Water management district land also has recreational use,
hiking, horseback riding mountain biking, etc.

It is nice area with lots of wild life. The ride will be flat with very
little loose sand. Should be a great one.
