Half of March and April we spent in Callahan, Florida. We visited my friend Karen and her husband, Stan, on Amelia Island, went to lunch a few times, and took the Fernandina Boat Tour, which Melinda finagled her way to the wheel. (Don’t ask!) The tour was actually pretty cool. We learned a lot about the history of the area and the uber-rich that used to live there. I never realized how big that area is.
We also got o visit with my niece, Jule, who I had probably not seen in 45 years. Needless to say, we had a lot of catching up to do.
Another big adventure for us was the Callahan Bullriding competition (not to be confused with a REAL rodeo).
I rode the 30 miles down to Jacksonville for a number of DISASTROUS poker sessions at BestBet Poker.
Melinda’s bike got hit in a parking lot and the right fender was destroyed. Getting it fixed at RideNow Powersports was a anther circus and NOT the three ring kind!
We stayed at Kelly’s Countryside RV Park. Not a bad, family-owned place, but WAY out in the sticks.
