We took a nice long ride saturday all the way up The Fogotten Coast through Carrabelle,St.George,Apalachicola. The St.Marks lighthouse is a beautiful ride out into the swamps that end at The Gulf Of Mexico.

I'm not sure but I'm guessing this has been here since Hurricane Dennis in 2005 that hit this area very hard.

On the way back home we zigged and zagged our way back up through the panhandle of Florida and into Georgia all on backroads. Came into the small town of Greenville, Fl and saw it was the hometown of Ray Charles.

Paul and his buddy Ray.Paul said " When I was in the Army in 1960 Ray was BIG at that time".

After making our way into Georgia we rode through Irwinsville site of the President Jefferson Davis Memorial. This is where the yankees captured him after The War of Northern Aggression. The yankee's fired on each other at this site killing each other in the progress.It was closed but I jumped the gate and took some photo's anyway.

This was a great ride and one I'll always remember the weather was cool but not that bad and my rain gear never left my saddlebag and that's always a plus.

I went in the back and tweaked a setting.
