Over 3000 Miles and Counting

We passed one significant milestone today - 3000 miles since San Diego. Tomorrow my GPS will turn over 5000 km. Wow! That's about three full seasons for me. The highlight of the day today was the lovely wildflowers that we passed for much of the ride. We crossed the Suwanee River and bopped in to Branford for lunch (yummy chocolate shake and a sandwich). Then on to Ichetucknee Springs State Park where we saw the lovely blue waters of the Ichetucknee Spring and met two Canadian snorkelers at the BlueHole Spring.

Our riding today was again on good shoulders, although there was more debris from logging trucks and more truck traffic than our previous few days. We passed through forests (in various stages of logging and replanting) and farmlands and not very much in the way of civilization. We're staying in the small town of High Springs tonight - spread between two mom&pop motels.

Stats for the day: 77 miles from Perry FL to High Springs FL. 900 feet climbed. 1 flat tire (that's either 8 or 9 for the trip). 1 birthday dinner for Wendy - a retired Oakland police officer.
