ORA trip, October 14th!!! Let's carpoool!

On Sunday, October 14th we will be meeting at ORA for a look behind the scenes to see how they grow their coral and raise their fish. ORA is one of the leading aquaculture facilities for the aquarium hobby in the world. We are very lucky to have a facility such as this close to us. We will be meeting at ORA (5600 US 1 North, Ft. Pierce, Florida 34946) at 11:00am on Sunday October 14th.

This thread is intended to give all of us a place to figure out carpooling. I currently can hold two more in my vehicle. I would suggest that all "riders" consider giving the driver $10-15 for gas. Please post here if you plan to attend, if you can drive, and if you have openings.

Chris

ORA

This will be the third time that I have been there. A long drive but worth it.

I also want to add that this trip is limited to members only as ORA has asked us to limit the number of visitors.

I told Rogger this morning I'm in... just have to renew my membership. I'll be driving, so if anyone in the Davie area wants to catch a ride up, my Ram 1500 quad cab has comfortable seating for 3 more.

I have been waiting for this and am looking forward to it. Provided that I do not have to work a ship that day, I won't really know until a couple days before. For now count me in.

hey matt...i'll drive if u want to throw down like $10 for gas only saying because i've got a bigger car and can fit 2 more. so if anyone wants I've got 2 spots in my car. (Rear AC). I live in weston and matt lives right off 595 so if you live near there or could meet us somewhere around there that would be great.
p.s. I drive a little (NO REMARKS MATT!) over the speed limit. just a little warning if you come with us.
