St. Augustine, FL - Week 6

 We start the week at the Drive in Church service
 
Tucson gets another walk at Princess Place Preserve
 

This time we try a different trail

 

 
 
 We also try a new Park closer to home


 







But the best day is when we join our friends for another ride on the Bikes.
We start out at Crescent Beach at Noon - we had hoped the fog would have lifted by now but it is still pretty dense at the beach
 
 We continue on heading towards Daytona Beach
 

 We stop in Flagler Beach for lunch at Tortugas
 
 What's Santa up to down there?


Looks like he's going surfing


and he slowly disappears into the fog.

After lunch, we head to Bulow Plantation State Park
to see the Sugar Plantation Ruins.   It's about a 1 mile ride down an old dirt road.  We encounter a couple horseback riders coming the other way.
 
 
 
It's a short hike from the Parking Lot


 To the Plantation.  Developed in 1821, from 1823 to 1836, it was the largest sugar plantation in East Florida until it was burned down by the Seminole Indians during the 2nd Seminole War.


 


Next we head to see the Fairchild Oak, about 4 miles down the road.


 It is humongous!  About 2,000 years old it is named after Botanist David Fairchild

 
 Our friend, Catherine is a Tree Hugger


We head over to Ormond Beach to the Harley Davidson Store so Rick and pick up parts of one of  his bikes

                We make it in 5 minutes before they close.   
Just enough time to drool over some Trikes.

We stop for some Ice Cream across the way


Another great week
