12th annual
| We have been waiting for this trip for awhile. I think it has been 3 or 4 months since we did a trip that we could put on our site. Put your feet down on St. George Island is one trip we have made a few times before, and we always have had a great time, and again we did this time. This is a trip that Bruce, Ralph, and Bonnie came up with a while back, (2 Pricks & a Chick). This time it was the 12th annual trip for Put your feet down on St. George Island. Our last trip we made Marcia and I did great during the day but when evening came we were party-ed out. Not this time we made sure. |
| This is where the excitement of the trip starts. Publix by Hwy 241 and SR 26 in Gainesville for the meet. Little groups scattered about talking making new friends etc.. This year Mike and Dirk rode with us. We expected more of our friends to go with us but for one reason or another they just could not make it. I hope next year they can. The weather most of the week has been rain, I expected to be soaked on the ride over and back but the weather turned out great. |
| Marcia talking to Mike and Dirk on the left and Ralph getting everybody's attention to discuss the trip on the right. We had groups from Jacksonville, and Ocala make the event. I'm sure there were many of you from the surrounding area. |
| Our first stop, wow we did have a bit of a line with bikes. Total of 3 stops. The next two pictures below are of the 2nd and 3rd stops. I personally enjoy the trip the best when we hit highway 98 and start seeing the water. |
| At this point every one is checked in and have had their lunch. Now cooling off and enjoying our margaritas, etc... Water was just right, not like that cold shock. The ocean is only about a hundred yards from here. Picture of the ocean below. The water there was a little colder. |
| Here we are at the Blue Parrot, I think most of us ate here. It is right next door to the Buccaner. After finishing our meal we decided to do some exploring on foot. Our first stop is Fire House No.9 pictures below |
| The first thing that got our attention is the band playing on this big flat bed trailer. The name of the band was Ride and Roll. Pretty neat sitting outside enjoying the weather haveing a beer or two at the picnic tables while listing to the band play. |
| Time to move on exploring. In between songs we could hear some more music playing. So we headed that way. The music was coming from Harry A's, another restaurant & bar. We ended spending the rest of the night here. They also had a great band playing. Harry A's was pretty neat outdoor bar with a high privacy fence surrounding the area. |
| Inside HarryA's left, is a picture of the bar area, right side picture, is of the resturant where we had breakfast on Sunday morning. One note they do not open until 8 am, we just did have time to eat and get back for a group picture in front of the Buccaner. One thing I did notice as you can see on the right the menues are very large. |
| That morning eating breakfast it was neat just looking at all the memorabilia hanging on the wall. Here is a picture of one of Sister Hazel's guitar. Breakfast was good. The trip and weekend were great, and we are looking forward to next year. Now it was time to enjoy the ride home. |
| Our group picture. Below is the picture of everyone lining up for the police escort leaving St. George Island. From here there were 3 stops, 2 gas stops, and one final stop that Marcia and I did not make at the Goose Nest restaurant just out side of Fort White this time, I am sure it still is the same as was in the past great home cooking buffet. Until next time ride safe, JUST GET OUT AND RIDE...... |
