This place was Amazing

Wow, two beautiful days in a row. Weather was windy, cloudy but warm when we left the motel at around 9:30AM this morning. We spent today just chasing down some hard to get signs for the Touring program. First we headed north on Interstate 295 to Interstate 95, then north on Interstate 95 getting off on Highway A1A and headed east into Yulee. We stopped on I-95 at the Nassau County line to get the 'N' county picture and the road was so busy it took almost forever to get safely back into traffic. After getting the picture of the 'Y' city sign we headed west on A1A to Callahan then on south on Highway 301 to Interstate 10. We proceeded west on Interstate 10 getting off on Highway 121 and headed south to Lake Butler. At the Union County life we stopped and got our 'U' county pictures. At Lake Butler we headed north on Highway 231 to Osceola National Forest to get a needed picture of a National Forest Sign. Had to take a little detour via Highway 231A due to road repairs. The road was nice, the detour only about 4 miles, but within that 4 miles, a deer ran out in front of us, then a dog decided to chase us, then a log truck came around a sharp curve with his wheels on my side of the double yellow lines. Time to head home via the same route to Lake Butler and then east on Highway 100 to Starke. At Starke we just followed the back roads back to our motel in Orange Park. It stayed cloudy all day, nice, warm but windy, a very nice day’s ride. Four more points for a total of 41. Couldn’t believe we made exactly 200 miles today, 514 miles this trip, 120,494 total miles.
