Weather - mid 70's to 80, humidity builds till once a week there is a thunderstorm, both times at night - nighttime lows are low 60's
The motorcycle riding is always great because there is little traffic and the roads are mostly about 45 miles per hour. We went over to St. George Island and State Park via the causeway.
This area has more causeways and bridges joining the mainland to little barrier islands. The sand is still white as snow, quite beautiful.
This is a sleepy little island with an old lighthouse and lots of cottages on stilts and maybe three or four restaurants and stores, just enough to get by.
One end is a state park that was all sand dunes and a camping area. The cool thing is that apparently the Wood Storks use this as their last stopover in the fall before heading across the Gulf of Mexico when migrating in October, can't say that I have ever seen a stork!
Wakulla Springs State Park
Remember the movies when we were kids "Creature from the Black Lagoon" and the original "Tarzan" with Johnny Weissmuller. Well Billy remembers better than me, ha ha! This is the setting of those movies and it did have a river boat cruise that we took which had some eerie spots that would have been just like the films back in the 50's.
There were quite a few manatee (sea cows) which love this river since it stays at a constant temperature of 72F, it is fed by one of the deepest freshwater springs in the world at 185 feet.
And who is that movie star on the Road King?
