The only town that we rode thru today was Wellborn. I rode the last 45 of the 71 miles. Denise rode 1st and then drove the motor home to the state park. We rode thru some pretty country roads where the live oak trees formed a canopy over the road. Lots of horse ranches. While riding we saw a copper colored snake in almost perfect condition. We waited for Russ to catch up to see if he wanted another snake skin. It was a different colored corn snake. As we left him, he was skinning it. we passed a miniature pony farm and spotted a colt w/it's mother. Denise had to leave the motor home in the day use parking as they wouldn't let us check in until 3 p.m. She rode out to meet us. After seeing her, we headed for the SP so we could unhook the car and I could go shopping for food. Shortly after Mike and I arrived at the SP, it started to rain. By the time I got back, Russ and Denise were there. They rode the last part of the ride in a down pour and it was now thundering and lightening. We went to see the town of High Springs and while having a milk shake, the rain really came down!
