Moving Day...

Moving day has started.   Good group of guys arrived, and we should be done before Halloween.  Sandy and I are trying to stay out of the way and enjoy the time.    The house owner will be over mid-afternoon to look over the house and hopefully give us a clean bill of health.  In the meantime, we will have a few mimosas and watch the guys work.   



Truck in front of the house and Mimosas in hand.

For the rest of the day it will be waiting around and encouraging the guys to finish up.  Then a shower and off to our road trip.

Day 51: Ross Prairie State Forest FL to Salt Springs FL (Ocala National Forest)

Image
The countdown is two more rides.  A very short ride tomorrow of ~30 miles then ~55 miles on Saturday to a much-anticipated finish on the beach by Breakers.   All my FL friends know where Breakers is…  no Rum Runners for me.                                              The highlight for today is a camp with no caterpillars, Sandy is super happy.  We woke up this morning to tent loaded with the pesky little things.  Sandy found a few hitch hikers that came with us that needed to be taken care of at this end.  Fitting that we include Fred in our morning picture. Nick name - Caterpillar Camp  Today’s ride was very interesting.  My son told me about a trail that covered the first 15+ miles of the ride.  The path was a combination of perfect asphalt to sugar sand horse paths to single track mountain bike trails.  Super fun an...

Day 49: Steinhatchee FL to Manatee Island State Park FL

Image
Count down to finish is 4 more days of riding…   For at least the third straight day, the best part of the day is the after-ride fun.  We finished today in Manatee Island State Park after a very easy 44 miles.  The park is classic Florida with old oaks, plenty of Spanish moss and a fresh-water spring.   We are camping and the weather is cool already and will be chilly in the morning.  I finished very early in the day and we took advantage of the time to go kayaking on the Suwanee River.  Aside from listening to Sandy sing the Suwanee River song the time was very cool.   We saw an alligator with turtles right after leaving the dock.  All along the way we saw plenty more turtles sunning and swimming in the water.  Unfortunately, we did not see a Manatee, for us this is ok, we see plenty by our condo in NSB.   What was cool and a few first for me….  We kayaked into the cypress trees and around the cypress knees....
