On leaving

Brunswick,
Glynn
County, GA Golden Isles Harley-Davidson 153 Venture Drive Open 9:00 Mon-Sat 12:00 Sun, I-95 exit 38  |
On entering Florida, there was a rest stop for a state photo |
|
Jacksonville,
Duval
County, FL is built on the crux of all sorts of rivers lakes, bayous, swamps, and just plain water. As a result, there are tons of bridges in a tangle that no human can comprehend. I missed a turnoff at one point and I had to cross a long, high bridge then doubled around and had to cross another bridge to get to my destination. All within the city's downtown Duval County Clerk of Courts 330 East Bay St good for my "D" county letter  Adamec Harley-Davidson at Regency 10399 Atlantic Blvd Open Tues-Fri 9-7, Sat 9-6, Closed Sun-Mon 
 Parked in front is a chuck truck. The people inside the HD dealer recommended it I had a quesadilla which had pulled port, barbeque sauce, cheese, bits of pineapple Sounds weird, but tasted good. Really gooey |

Well, the best laid plans of mice and Harley riders... On the way to Jacksonville there were few places that I wanted to stop. In addition, it was all on I-95 so the going was fairly fast. It was too early to stop for the day and I wanted to gain a few miles on the plan so I would have more options in the days to come. So I pressed on a bit. |

These photos show the highway in Georgia, Florida and again
Florida The middle is northern Florida, more deciduous vegetation 
 The right photo shows that the landscape has subtly changed in the pan handle of Florida. The highway is still tree lined, but as you look more closely, everything off the sides of the road is in standing water. At times one can imagine an alligator beside the road watching |
|
At a rest stop on I-10 there is a sign for the Oscola National
Forest. I get a point for up to five national forests  |

I stopped for the night in
Live Oak, FL The plan for the day was 154 miles, actual was 235 miles. I stayed at the Quality Inn Live Oak 6819 US 129 Across the road is a Walmart Supercenter to which I walked and was able to get some fresh fruit. Next to the motel is a restaurant with the sign:  Curious, I tried it. Just what it says. A large buffet with chow mein, fried catfish, general tao's chicken, mac and cheese, spring rolls, canned corn, sweet and sour chicken, grits, broccoli beef, hush puppies, you get the idea. Eclectic, but fun. Oh and by the way, I have visited my hoped for four states on this trip. My current motorcycled-in states count has reached 47, only 3 more to go. Michigan is top on my list. Stay tuned for my next trip. |
