the jacksonville landing is the starting and ending for the run, plus all the party activities will be there. there are a couple of places such as the outback crabshack, that will be where most everyone will stop for lunch. there are card stops up and down the river,if you go to the site for the run it tells you everything about the run. the run kicks off at 10 am, the boats will start to pull away at about 9:30 am from the landing and head south down the river. as far as dry stacks it all depends where you want to be on the water. i am at beach marine at jax beach, i can go north to fernidina, south to st. augustine or daytona, out to the ocean, or to the st john's river. welcome to florida.
