this dude i work with told me he saw some SWAMPers out there and was told that there were plans in the works.
I just re-read this and realized that was me, Maria and Nuccio. I had my SWAMP jersey on that day. Maybe not such a good idea when I'm poaching "trails". :)

Exactly what I have in mind for that area. My explorations will definitely get the Koach Karlos stamp of approval.

Can someone keep us posted when the process resumes?  That's 10 minutes from the house, so I'd love to help build some trails out there. 

That place is flat, but it doesn't seem to sit very low, so I doubt the rainy season would be an issue there.

I don't know of any updates.  I go to school in New Port Richey now so I drive by Starkey Park every day.  I would LOVE to do some trail riding in there.

I've been outta the loop for a while but I seem to recall a lot of people not being wild about opening more trails when we can't even take care of the ones we already have. The people at Starkey have been talking for several years about cutting some trails. Its good to see so many SWAMPers are local though, that'd make trail work a whole lot easier.

The problem with folks who live in south Pasco or North Pinellas is it takes 1 hr to 90 mins to hit most of the trails.. Starkey is what 15/20 mins away if that. When we only have a few hrs to ride its hard to help out with Trail work. Starkey would be great...

later,

I completely agree. Starkey is only a few blocks from my house. Ive hiked around a lot of starkey and even done a MTB race there(was complete hell, sugar sand all the way). If we can get the man power and the clearance I'm game tough.
