Perfect Florida winter weather returned so we headed out for a bike ride to a spot we had visited before–the Cross Florida Barge Canal–also known as the Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway. Gerry Mulligan, publisher of the Citrus Chronicle, listed this in his column last Sunday as one of the places that residents must see.
The bike trail runs five miles to the Gulf of Mexico and in the other direction ends at a dam on Lake Rousseau. We headed to the Gulf. We’ll do the other ride on another perfect Florida winter day.
We rode the five miles to the Gulf into the wind. I could barely keep up with Terry and Maggie.
A few pictures from the Gulf side.
Future son-in-law Andrew suggested I tour the country taking pictures of power plants!
On the ride back the wind pushed us along. So nice.
Another beautiful experience on the Nature Coast!
Another nice post and photos of the trail Kathy. They added an extension to the trail here and opened it around July 2012. From the Felburn Trailhead, go through the wood entrance and turn right. I rode the new trail extension on 8-9-12. About two miles long. Photos are on my website. I think they will be adding a bridge to it soon. Happy paved trail riding and stay safe.
