Road Trip - Day 2, Part 2

After Micanopy I headed up 441 past Payne's Prairie through Gainsville and then on to High Springs.  I didn't have time to stop and explore Payne's Prairie but I did stop at the boardwalk viewing area on 441 to snap a few photos.   Birdwatching is unavoidable here (over 270 species) and I loved their sign!
After that I bee-lined it to High Springs a place I haven't visited in a while.  It use to be one of my favorite stops on the way to NW Florida but I've changed my route over the years.  It was time I revisited! I headed straight for my favorite lunch stop, The Great Outdoor Trading Company store and restaurant, only to find that it had closed two years earlier.  Luckily, a family that loved it as much as I did (actually more) bought the place, restored the historic building and turned it into a wonderful restaurant and named it the Great Outdoors Restaurant.  I'll be blogging more about them later but here are a couple photos to wet your appetite.  I had a delicious Pretzel encrusted Grouper sandwich accompanied by Naked Ed (more on this on my way back through).  Some things you just have to experience twice.











After that I shot a few goats, cows and even a dog. He was the least happy about being shot!

I do accept as true with all of the ideas you have offered in your
post. They're really convincing and will certainly work. Nonetheless, the posts are very short for starters. May just you please prolong them a bit from next time? Thank you for the post.
