The Nature Coast Bike Trail

One of the reasons we are in this remote area of west central Florida is shown above.  It is a thirty-mile paved bike trail that connects the towns of Trenton, Cross City, and Chiefland.  It runs through Old Town, Florida that is near our campground.

 

Bill rode about twenty miles on the trail on Saturday.  The weather is warming up, finally.  When you see old stone markers like this along the trail you know it was once a railroad.

 

These deer stopped to watch Bill along the trail.

 

The maps called this the "Historic" wooden bridge over the Suwannee River.  We are not sure why it is historic but it was fun to ride over on a bicycle.

 

This is what the Suwannee River looked like from the bridge.  The river is high and flooded over its banks, but we heard from the campground host that is has been much higher in years past,
