Crash site - Levy County

The Columbia Cafe - Tampa

The Columbia Cafe has been a Tampa tradition since 1905. We tried their lunch menu and the service and food were both excellent. You can read more about Columbia's history here.

Crapo and Yoho



It's election season in the good ol' US of A and our communities are inundated with electioneering signs urging people to vote for specific candidates.

If you go a few miles north of Ocala, to the little towns of High Springs and Newberry, for example, you can vote for Crapo and Yoho.

Unloading at the Tampa Bay History Center

We watched this truck pull out from under the building and drive away. It was huge. It would take a very skilled driver to be able to back the entire length of the truck into that small opening in the lower section of the history center.

Mobil and more

This is a typical gas station/store combination that you'll find in Florida. It is located in a semi-rural area and provides residents with various foods and beverages, some hardware, etc., along with ice and propane. And now you can rent movies. Note the table and chairs which allow you to sit down and eat a microwaved sandwich or sticky-bun and enjoy the drink of your choice.
