We headed straight up Hwy 17 through alot of small towns, open road and wetlands that were new territory to Christy and places I have never seen without being in a cage of some type and needing to get where I was going.We left Deland about 10:30 and didnt finish our 130 mile trip until 5:30. We stopped at some small flea markets, not the kind where they sell new junk cheap but the places where people look for items of interest.Found a spot on Cresent Lake where some people were fishing and the lake was alive with the creatures that depend on the lake.
Many times the Cheyenne saloon in E. Palatka has come up in our ride plans and for one reason or another we just never seem to get there.As we passed it we made a U-turn and stopped in for a few minutes.It seems funny to me how you can ride alone and still run into people you know.We were deciding whether to stay or go when our friend Scott steps up beside me to get a beer.He tells us he was riding with Scott and Kathy and Robert and Lynn.We spend a few minutes with them and we notice Debbie from the Steel Pony sitting at the bar. Debbie is the kind of lady that if you know her you just have to say hello. They were headed to Daytona but after hearing about the party at Trader Jacks they said they might go there,they couldnt find a Dixie Biker and she asked if she could have ours so they could find the place. Both groups asked us if we wanted to ride with them we were having so much fun together we declined both to share the rest of our day alone.
We made our last stop at Michelles for a fantastic burger before heading home.Spending time on the road alone or with one person who cares about the same simple things as you is to often forgotten and makes for such a memorable experience.We love riding with our friends but are gonna have to make time for ourselves a little more
