Default Riverside Park (Oviedo) Picnic Confirmed A Go!

We are awaiting confirmation for this site on tommorow! All other parks in the East Orlando area are booked for this day and nobody came up with any other parks or info as requested at the last meeting! Downey Park and Blanchard Park are all booked! How does $5.00 a person for food and utensils sound!(hamburgers,hot dogs,chicken,baked beans, and whatever else members are willing to bring to help out! We should be the only group in the park in this area that day! Discretion is advised if you are considering bringing drinks other than sodas! Please use cups! Spread the word to all members in the Florida area who are willing to come and meet and greet! This should be a nice time to put names with faces and mod talk all day! You know CL members love pic's, so bring your cameras! I will confirm this location on tommorow and get directions posted soon as well! We look forward to meeting new and old members! If you have any questions call me at (321)303-3651(Darrell) s/n Wringo
We are tentative looking at getting started around 12:00 noon until around 4:00pm.I would love to end the picnic with a cruise to our must have Orlando Photo Shoot spot(Waterfall shot) at (436) Semoran Blvd. / Howell Branch Rd., for those who would like to take a shot! Here is one of my favorite shots of my old look there!
The park is confirmed a go for this event on Sunday! Members will be meeting at Alafaya Trail / Mitchell Hammock Rd.(Near Burger King parking lot),to cruise to the picnic as a group! We are hoping to have everyone at this location around 11:00 and no later than 11:30! The caravan will depart at 11:30 to the picnic area. We have the park until 5:00, but plan to leave for the photo shoot(waterfall shot) around 4:00! If someone is handy with posting a map style directions on this thread for the picnic site, by all means please do! Lunch will be served from 12:00 noon-2:00 pm., with (hotdogs,hamburgers,chicken, baked beans,chips and a drink(soda) for $5.00! We are in need of desserts, paper plates,utensils, cups etc! This will further be discussed at the monthly meet on Wednesday at, (436)Semoran Blvd. / Alehouse near the Carmax as your heading towards the airport! See you there at 8:30 sharp! Lol!-wringo

Blue, you don't have to buy all those items! I'm hoping the Orlando Crew step up and help out! Cups would be fine for about 50 people. Call me!-wringo

If you get me a physical address I can do a map quest and post directions from either i-95 or turnpike. Get me directions to the meeting place and to the actual park and post it it before I leave work otherwise I will do it tonight unless someone does it before me..

Yeah,Blue that's part of the chip in fee! I'm hoping someone here in O- town volunteers to bring those items! We are going to be discussing this picnic/ meet / greet further at our meeting on Wednesday! We appreciate you helping out though. Lol! -wringo
I'll call you with the address of the meet spot and picnic location when I get in this evening!

ok, Wringo you'll probably want to have whoever started this thread put the directions as part of the 1st initial post so its easier to find.

Park directions...

Using i-95 from anywhere south of Oviedo,FL. If your coming from the North its the same directions using I-95 south.

1. Merge onto I-95 N toward DAYTONA BCH-- (Miles depends on where you are starting)
2. Take the SR-528-TOLL W exit- EXIT 205- toward ORLANDO--------------------------------------0.8 miles
3. Merge onto BEE LINE EXPY / FL-528 W (Portions toll).----------------------------------------------25.5 miles
4. Take the SR-417-TOLL N exit- EXIT 16- toward ORLANDO / SANFORD-----------------------1.1 miles
5. Merge onto CENTRAL FLORIDA GREENEWAY / FL-417 N (Portions toll).--------------------14.7 miles
6. Take the RED BUG LAKE RD EAST exit- EXIT 41- toward OVIEDO----------------------------0.4 miles
7. Merge onto RED BUG LAKE RD-------------------------------------------------------------------------0.2 miles
8. Stay STRAIGHT to go onto W MITCHELL HAMMOCK RD.----------------------------------------2.8 miles
9. Turn RIGHT onto LOCKWOOD RD-------------------------------------------------------------------0.7 miles
10. End at 1608 Lockwood Blvd
Oviedo, FL 32765-9757, US

From FL turnpike anywhere south of Oviedo,FL.

1. Merge onto FLORIDA'S TURNPIKE N (Portions toll).
2. Take the SR-70 exit- EXIT 152- toward FT PIERCE / VERO BCH
3. Turn RIGHT onto OKEECHOBEE RD / FL-70 E.
4. Merge onto I-95 N toward DAYTONA BCH.
5. Take the SR-417-TOLL N exit- EXIT 16- toward ORLANDO / SANFORD
5. Merge onto CENTRAL FLORIDA GREENEWAY / FL-417 N (Portions toll).
6. Take the RED BUG LAKE RD EAST exit- EXIT 41- toward OVIEDO
7. Merge onto RED BUG LAKE RD
8. Stay STRAIGHT to go onto W MITCHELL HAMMOCK RD.
9. Turn RIGHT onto LOCKWOOD RD
