Florida
Down to Mt. Dora
In December of 2002, while staying in St. Augustine for a few days, the family went down to Mt. Dora (near Orlando) to visit my uncle and family. The top picture is of a lake near Mt. Dora, but it's not Lake Dora. Here is what I found on my trip:
 St.
John's County Road 13, which used to be FL 13 a while back. It is a
pretty road paralleling the ginormous St. John's River. |
 Palatka
is home to weird signs like "Florida's Potato Capital" and "Home of the
Bulls Chips." I don't wanna know what Bulls Chips are. |
 US
17 and FL 100 join the road here. |
 Going
up over the St. John's. |
 A
Palatka scene. |
 A
pair of Palatka shields. |
 A
narrow Palatka bridge with a tubular Palatka walkway. |
 That's
gotta be one of the ugliest FL 19 shields EVER. |
 There's
fog smoke in this area. |
 FL
19 South is also the Backwoods Trail. |
 Apparently,
this is what passes for scenic in central Florida. |
 There
are a bunch of 4s in this by-pass assembly. |
 South
FL 19 goes to FL 44. |
 We
pick up US 441 at this here interchange. |
 If
you look really really closely, you'll see that this CR shield is for OLD
441. Lake County Old 441. |
 Maybe
this is old US 441. Those are old railroad tracks in the center of the
road, and I'm not sure if they're still in use. They weren't the day I
passed through. |
That is all.
