| Wow, time has been flying. I have been retired now for 6 months, I thought I would have so much time on my hands, now I just wonder how I got every thing done when I worked on the tugs. Also we have had a lot going on too. I think we are now starting to settle down. I do have a big list of projects for the house we want to do, but I will set time aside for riding. This trip is a little one, to Micanopy and surrounding areas. Also now I can check out my new camera. This is the day after Christmas and it is cold, at least for Florida. We met up with Jill and Cindy. On right picture of Marcia, Cindy, and Jill just north of Gainesville on 441. After meeting and gassing up, we made a quick stop at Cindy's house. Cindy is new to riding. She learned no matter how warm you are if the wind can go through it....... Your going to be cold. |
| Leaving Gainesville. Even though it is cold, it feels great to be back in the saddle. Took picture off of video |
| I like these back roads, woods, and seeing the moss in the trees. We are on CR- 2082. Also this picture is taken from the video. |
| This picture was from another trip here. I like finding stuff like this Post office country store in one. Be sure to check the links above for history of Evinston. |
| On the video you see the post office. Here again from another trip is a picture of the inside of it. With the link above they have a lot of other interesting things to see. |
| We decided to stop at the Harley shop in Ocala. What a nice ride to get here, and of course we took he long way here. Some nice horse country in the are |
| Leaving Ocala we headed to CR - 329 and took it all the way to Micanopy. We ate here at the Blue Highway, the food was great. |
| Here we are saying our good by's in front of the Blue Highway pizzeria. I am going to have to get with Dave, and do some exploring during the week to find some more roads and places to see and eat at on the weekend. Also be sure to check the links above for the town of Micanopy. We rode through it, I did not video any of downtown. Micanopy is full of history and takes you back in time great for exploring, and is great for pictures too. The little convenience store just past the pizzeria also has some great ribs, you would never think it would be so good. Also downtown has 2 places to eat at too. As far as filming with the new camcorder, it's heavy but seems to get the job done. I was a little worried about dropping the camcorder, the night before I dropped my digital camera I use for most of the pictures on this site, and broke the camera. |
| So I bought a new camera we will see next trip how good it is. I also put a link for the route we took. If you have Microsoft Streets Trips you can download it, and if you don't I have pictures of the map to help you out. See you on the road. JUST GET OUT AND RIDE. Michel |
