Fanning Springs, FL to Perry, FL Total Miles: 1993 Last night while I was cooking dinner I kept hearing these giant splashes coming from the river next to me. I figured it was just people out in their boats splashing around and having a good time. As day turned to dusk, though, it began to […]

Key West, FL to Fort Meyers Beach, FL Total Miles: 1601 Last night I got to go out and experience a bit of the famed craziness that is the Key West night life. It was Sunday so it didn’t get too crazy but that didn’t stop this drunken cyclist from getting smammerd and staying up […]
