Follow us on Facebook, we try to post as we do our trips and rides. |
Pecan Park RV Resort Jacksonville, FL 2/27/2017 |
Before we leave we don't quite get a full bag of ice pretty close though but what is nice when you get home you take your little bag ice there put it in your freezer the next trip after you start your refrigerator in RV you put that little bag in there so when you get to the RV resort and you off load the bikes and you're all set your wife can make you a nice whiskey and Coke with lots of ice |
Here we just checked in very nice RV Park pretty big too I think we're always learning something on this adventure with the toy hauler |
One thing we learn today we already knew this but never paid a lot attention to it until today our site slants up and then levels off this made the door for the toy hauler ramp to go down a lot further which also made a way steeper angle I've never hung Marcia bike up trying to get it down I did today..LOL now it was time to take Sprocket and Clutch for a walk now this cracked me up these folks had a statue of a cat or a small tiger, man was Clutch at full attention it was funny as all... |
Met some fellow riders today now if I just get the names right I believe it was Dave and Peggy everytime I tell somebody were from Alachua are you see have to mention north of Gainesville |
This was cool he said I know where it's at I'm familiar with it then he turned around picture says it all... |
Tuesday morning we just walked the dogs here's a few more pictures and like I said as we post the pictures all have captions this place is pretty neat Taking the pups for their morning walk it's already 74 degrees but it feels like 82 or 83 put it this way just walking the dogs I'm starting to sweat I think the lady told me there's like a hundred and eighty some Lots here |
Nice-looking pool and I think later on today we may visit this place |
Did I tell you the airports nearby Well since it's pretty warm we are running our air conditioner so that muffles the jet noise a lot |
Ready to ride!! |
Well this was our first stop today Okefenokee Swamp |
I'll tell you what we seen a lot of gators here today |
Really nice looking that he I funny thing I was kind of disappointed with if they charge $5 per bike that just isn't right and then you can come in with a car for what five or six that's wrong |
I didn't like the look on this one because it kind of reminded me the way I look like when I'm looking at a buffet — in Hilliard, Florida. |
Lots of Turtles too I feel for Marcia I was messing with her she goes to me aren't you kind of scared all these Gators right here and I looked at her I told her no, why not, I told her because I can run a whole lot faster than you baby I think she believed me she went back |
I can't believe this weather we hit 87 degrees one time today 2/28/2017 |
I wanted to get some drown pictures but they just would not allow me to fly I got to get a permit, I said okay how long could take? 2 weeks. |
Well here we are in Hilliard,we are starving we forgot to eat imagine that getting old is a b**** |
Did find one really nice Road Spanish something I'll find the name of it later well we got about another 40 minutes ago later.. |
Here are the rest of the pictures from the GoPro the riding part... Didn't have time to download some of the GoPro pictures while we were stopped today so here they are, had some nice roads!! I think we had a high of 86 or 87 degrees today, I am not looking forward to Summer — in Jacksonville, Florida. |
The way we left the RV Resort I was sure we're going to go to one of the terminals for drop off at the Jacksonville International Airport |
More farms and barns |
More farms and barns |
at one time in the past we've been passed this building can't remember which trip but we've been here before |
Now we had passed this when we left the park and I told her I said hey that look like a pretty nice Road you want to check it out I'm glad we went back it was a neat little road |
Well tomorrow's another day for exploring sure did enjoy it today though |
I ended up taking this little shortcut going from 200 to 17 to avoid that intersection and this building popped right out front of us..... |
This is our second day on the bike over here in the Jacksonville area not many miles today decided to go check out Fernandina Beach I love the old section the Historic part Fernandina historic section 82 degrees and just a little bit past 12:30 p.m. Haven't seen too many bikes out here today |
Last time we were here they were working on the floating dock the main one and they're still working on it still closed off |
You can see the commercial docks. From the restaurant Lol.... remind me of work, every now and then I miss docking the ship .... |
Oh man it's getting time To Feed!! |
On the picture before this one if you look to the left the concrete pole to the left of the flagpole has the Shrimp Boat on top of it |
I do believe this is the place we're going to eat at I'm still researching right now but hunger may take over |
Menu looks good kind of checking it out while we're sitting here at the oldest bar in Florida |
They also have an upstairs with seating |
To the right in picture you can see Palace that's where we're right now cooling off with a cold beverage Grill. |
We always have to stop here at the Palace whenever we visit Wow this pirate even knows our names and what we drink . |
Inside the Palace |
Me and my Baby in Explorer mode and cooling off... |
Alright finally sitting down and getting ready to get something to eat I guess I'm just going to have to be a pirate! |
The Salty Pelican on the upper deck looking towards the Marina restaurant Just the rewarding picture. Time to Feed!! |
