FINAL FLORIDA UPDATE

Sadly on Friday we will be heading back to Iowa (aka Siberia).  We've put on just a shade over 2,400 miles on the Wing this month with only one day of riding left now.  From the way things look back there, the Wing will be sitting in the shed pouting for quite a while!  There has been only two days here this month that I haven't been able to ride, and that was due to rain.  Hopefully we won't have to tunnel our way back!

On one of the rides I discovered a real redneck biker bar out in the middle of nowhere.  It was called the Outpost.  Believe me it makes Rockton look like a yuppie hangout!  I've attached a couple of photos, and I'll tell you more about it when we get back.

We went for a ride with the Panama City Wings.  Actually we have more riders on Wednesday nights than they do, and we travel longer also.  But like our group, we have a good time with them.

We went for a ride to St. George Island.  It's a barrier island that has been developed into a small town for tourists.  You have to ride across a long bridge to get there.

Here's a few photos of our last adventures:

So glad to hear about your great trip. Be sure to check the antifreeze before you get back to Waukon (Siberia)!

Sounds like a great trip and a good time to be out of Iowa!
