Bubbafest, The Ice Breaker


Meet Bubba Barron, my friend and a fellow member of the National Bicycle Tour Directors Association. Bubba, in exchange for using my 17 passenger van, is allowing me to ride his "The Ice Breaker" bicycle ride from Key Largo, Florida to Key West and back. This six days of bicycling will be along the highway between the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. The distance is 120 miles to Key West and 120 miles back. We layover one day in Key West to explore the island and of course to watch the Sun set from the furthermost point South in the USA. Bubba is a celebrity of sorts, as after he retired from the St Louis Mo Police Department, he rode a recumbent bicycle from the coast in Virginia to the coast in Oregon by himself. Now that's a feat! If you want to enjoy a week vacation, attend one of Bubba's events or tours, you will not regret his Pampering, nor his stories and the entertainment he alone provides! As he says, "IT'S ALL GOOD!"

Spring on Johnson Square in Savannah, GA


This view in the square shows the monument in the center of the square and one of the bank buildings in the background. There are five banks with offices on this square, significant in that the first businesses were also on this square when Savannah was founded. Under the monument is buried General Nathaniel Greene, from the revolutionary war with the British.

Spring on Johnson Square in Savannah, GA


One of many squares layed out by Savannah's founder, General Oglethorpe, this one is my favorite. Mainly because it was the first square where the first businesses were located around it in 1733. On this square the Delaration of Independence was read to a cheering crowd as they gained independence from taxing British on August 10, 1776. Notable speakers here were Henry Clay (1847) and Daniel Webster (1848).
