April 29, Tuesday, Day 54: a spring in my step

75 miles today in mostly cloudy then thunderstormy weather from Perry to High Springs Florida. Scenery was a lot more interesting than yesterday. Not only tall pine trees, but also farms, a bike path, and a beautiful spring fed pool.  The aromas on the ride however changed from honeysuckle to chicken farm.  Ugh. 


Remember Stephen Foster and the Suwanee River? Here it is!  Only he left out the U.  This river like many others we have passed over in Louisiana Mississippi Alabama and Florida are above flood stage. Emergency people are preparing for the storms that are rolling through this week. 




And just before it started to rain, I had the opportunity to swim in the Ichetucknee Springs pool. Yes, in my bike clothes. 



Cold and refreshing.

Only 120 miles to go to St. Augustine!

  1. WOW, almost home. I'm in Philly now at my nephew's house and will be in Dorset tomorrow. It's cold and rainy here ;-( But, I will be glad to be home.
    Happy pedaling.
