Not all who wander are lost





The title is the theme of our journey. We got off to a good start at 7:45 am on Sunday. We took the Tunrpike until it turned into 75 then picked up 27 and turned West onto 98 and 319. We arrived in Apalachicola around 4:15 pm with 435 miles under our belts. Suzanne handled the car without problem and the Harley ran flawlessly. Even the Garmins did what was expected of them!

The ride along the Gulf on 98/319 is really beautiful with lots of sweeping curves. Apalachicola is - well- quaint. When we arrived at the motel, we had a quick swim - ya, Suzanne too! We asked for the best seafood house in town and were directed to The Wheelhouse. It was - unique as you can see - but the food was very good, the oysters were $3.99 a dozen (for bikers - I guess you could call that a "biker's dozen"), and the beer was cold! The setting was very nice as well - lots of Bonaparte gulls.

Hope you all had a good one - we did! Will drop another note tomorrow.

Cheers

John and Suz
