Okeeheelee Park today, July 8, 2013


I love Okeeheelee Park and my bike rides are becoming a habit.  I need to challenge myself more, rather than just going around the lake.  The weekends are pretty busy, so I will try to extend the ride, go faster, in less time, during the weekdays.  I don't want to ride on the roadways because it feels unsafe.  People in cars get mad because you are saving money by not having to buy gas.. LOL









I checked out a new place in Jupiter, FL - Riverbend Battlefield Park.  Two battles during the Seminole Indian Wars in 1838 took place in this area.  This is a beautiful location, and it's no wonder the Seminoles selected this area to live. The Loxahatchee River is nearby, it is quiet and so peaceful.  I went there yesterday to check it out, and there are shell-rock roads and when you drive over them, there is a lot of white dust kicked up.  I am having second thoughts about taking my new bike up there.  It is hot now, during the summer, so I may need to wait until fall or winter to drive the 30 miles to get there.
