March 7, 2014 Did we make a wrong turn???

I did come to Florida right?  Yes, there is the ocean.  The weather yesterday and, while not as bad today, still much like an Indiana October.  Today isn't too bad but we are in for some bad storms so we are taking the day off from riding. 

So far we have rode from Saint Augustine to Flagler beach where we were extremely thankful to Bill at Camptown who graciously offered us some of the best beef and noodle soup to warm up to that I personally have ever had.  He runs his business from a truck and if you can find him I highly recommend you give him a try!  The soup was better than in some of the finest restaurants, so if you are here for Bike week stop in for some soup and a sandwich and say hi

 
Then we made our way further along the Flagler to Marineland Trail .  Which is a wonderful trail to ride.  I have some video of it lost somewhere in the abyss of my camera.  Being technologically illiterate as I am, I will continue trying to retrieve it so you can see just how beautiful that ride is in places.  Mostly is hugs the Atlantic Ocean but in the places where it doesn't it meanders thru wooded areas that are a sight worth seeing in and of themselves, as well as quaint little sea side shops and restaurants. (Would be fun during the international surfing contest.)  Since it was so cold and getting dark we stopped by SI COMO NO INN and the owner Marti insisted we stay for the night since riding at night in that weather was not only cold but dangerous.  I didn't have a pen on me to leave a message in her guest book but want to thank Marti for her very gracious hospitality.  SI COMO was delightful!  Each room is eclectically unique, clean and beautifully decorated  Equipped with cable tc, a microwave, coffee maker and mini frig and has a nice little patio to sit on,  They have an outdoor kitchen for guests to use if they wish to cook bigger meals, an onsite massage therapist.
 
 
After there we weaved our way thru lush marshland and wooded state parks to get to the econolodge in Ormond Beach to hold out while some nasty storms blow over today.  Again I have some pictures and video of this too and will include those for you to see as soon as I can figure out how to get to them. ;) 
 
In the mean time keep the wind at your backs and keep rollin,
