Here is the original buggy bash 2008 thread. We discussed this in great depth, there is some additional pictures and LOTS of info on St. Joe.
Someone even contacted St. Joe about hosting a Rally in this thread, and they seemed to be willing to work with us...contact info is in the thread below as well.
well it looks like st. joe is getting the majority of votes i dont think anyone who has never been there will not be dissapointed and as far as night time i think it will give all of us a chance to get to know each other
that sounds good to me also, night ride will be fun.

FYI, you don't want to night ride there....I was there in Sept.,and the last weekend before they change the stop riding time from 8p.m. to 5p.m.....At 7, it would start getting dark, and by 7:30, it was totally dark.....I got the bright idea of taking a night ride, and almost cost me dearly....
The temptation of going fast there is too much to say no too, and there are ALOT of bowls , probably 4 ft. deep that have been made by quads and bikes, and you can't seem them at night until you are right up on them.....
After almost diving off in one, and then running up on a set of woops at 50mph, I decided night riding wasn't such a good idea.....Believe me when I say that by 8p.m.,my group has had enough for 1 day......

My son and I love night runs. Goggles are a must since the bugs will kill you around here at night. The difference I guess, is we know the area we ride around the house so we know where we can run flat out and where we need to take it easy.
The only thing better than a night ride is a night ride in the snow. Was great when I lived in Maryland but we don't get snow in southeast NC so I have not done that in yearssssss.
