Palatka to St. Augustine, FL - 47 miles




I did it!!! Whoo-hoo. I never rode so fast to get to the fire station on time this morning. Partly due to nervous energy and a great deal to my friends Kathy and Jan for pulling me in. We had to be at the fire station by 10:30 this morning so the St. Augustine police could escort us into town and to the beach...our final destination.

After our tire dipping ceremony, we all had a nice picnic lunch with family and friends. Tonight we will have our final dinner together and tomorrow morning, I will head for home. I can't wait to hop into my own bed.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30TH
Alachua to Palatka, FL - 71 miles
It was a pleasant ride today, nothing out of the ordinary. I can't think of much to say about either towns except that there must be a paper mill in the area because of all the logging trucks that past us by and nearly blow us over. That is one thing I will not miss about this trip.
