Gone Biking

I know Marjorie and Dessie Smith took a famous ten-day boat trip up the St. Johns River and they found their way by watching the direction of the hyacinths. I am leaving for a six day bicycle ride. No floating hyacinths for me. Hopefully the road from Palatka to Daytona to St. Augustine and back to Palatka will be well marked. The group I am biking with is building a bicycle trail from Key West to Maine, kind of an Appalacian Trail for wheels rather than boots. They are called the East Coast Greenway and I have been a minor supporter of their efforts for a few years.

Like Marjorie, I want to be out in the world and experience the sights,sounds and smells of real Florida. I feel like the Greenway folks need to be supported in their effort to provide a non-petroleum based path up and down my beautiful state. Biking always lets me contact the flora and fauna in my area. Hope I get to show the New Yorkers a gator....at a discreet distance of course.
