Okeechobee Launch Ramp

---cut---

Hi Doc and the group, I got curious how far the ramp you are at is
from my house near Orlando. Tired to input the lat/long above into my
tiny hand held e-trex and had trouble sorting out all the different
formats. The closest match I could find on the e-trex is called
hddd.ddddd. If I use this format I get 67.7 miles SE. This can't be
right unless the lat/long is for the forcast area and not the ramp.
The forcast is for someplace near Melbourne??? What is the closest
city to the ramp?

Thanks, DC

Dale:
For milage to the ramp go to Yahoo Maps and get the milage from your house to the city of Okeechobee. Now add 5 miles and your
at the ramp. I've been there enough that I know it's 75 miles from my driveway to the ramp at Okee-Tanni (sp). Most of this for
me is 60mph road (driven a little faster G) through open ranch land and orange groves. Doc

I forgot to mention the gps has been converted to decimal for the weather computer. try this:
N27.08.895 W80.52.169 Doc

Hi Doc and the group, that did the trick. I now show 114 miles south
to get to the ramp from near Orlando.

I'm thinking a nice week long vacation is well past due. A few days at
the State Park and then the rest in the lower keys or maybe in
Flamingo sure would be nice :-)

I can't go now because of a very sad reason but when I can I'm out of
here.

Take care, DC

weather update:
Begining Monday winds out of the NE with low humidity. Temps: Highs in the mid to upper 80's and lows in the upper50's to low 60's.
Sunny. This pattern should hold all next week. Bring sunscreen of at lest 30+, and hat with a dark under side of the brim to
help cut down glare coming up off the water. Lots of bottled water is a must as caffine can tend to hamper propper hydration.
