The visiting part of the trip
I didn’t hang around a long time this morning. I went over to an empty pad in the trees close to the water, in fact, the one in the center left of this picture, and did the tai chi form … Continued
Heading north two days ahead of Hurricane Michael
A little more Florida strip malls then escape! It turns out Chiefland stretches out along US 198 for quite a while. It has a good selection of the usual chain stores, and nothing else that I could find. I chose … Continued
Missouri calls it a Spring, Florida calls it a Springs
I take a little stroll in the morning, check out the actual ironworks, and the houses in the daylight, then it’s up the hill and outta here to find phone reception and coffee. A bad Yelp day. First there was … Continued
