Crazy little convenience store- restaurant just outside Cloudland Canyon. Great sandwich and even better conversations with the local old timers. The restaurant was in the back of the store, I wish I had snapped a few photos of the locals, they made the ride a lot of fun.

Made it to the Lighthouse at St Marks. Hot, humid and out of water, not a good sign to stumble upon. Fortunately, the welcome center was only 10 miles away & had plenty of cold water.
