A Lola misdirection took us into the heart of Jacksonville on Martin Luther King Jr. holiday Monday! Steve got us back on the road to Anastasia State Park via Hwy A1A but not quite quick enough for Momma Jo.
Our first Florida beach was the empty North Gate Beach of the GTM Reserve near Pointe Verda. This location of 30 degrees 8 seconds North Latitude has the historic significance of Juan Ponce de Leon’s first sighting of Florida on his search for the Fountain of Youth! We can certainly relate to Juan and his crew, as we too are searching for our own Fountain of Youth.
