An overnight road trip to Wakulla Springs in the Panhandle provided many opportunities for exploring Florida. Our journey offered the following sites via Rt19/98 and backroads:
  • Putnam Inn - Cross City - built in 1927-28 by the Putnam Lumber Company, is part of a bygone era in Florida's forestry history. Website www.putnamlodge.com/
  • Fanning Springs River Bridge - Located 29 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico, it held the distinction of being the southernmost Suwannee River crossing. Link: www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=17709
  • Crawfordville Ford Cemetery - Semi-circle of rusting vintage Ford trucks and cars, arranged in chronological order by owner Pat Harvey Link: https://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/15949
  • Pelican Place - a unique, back roads stop with collectables and eclectic 'junk') - Link: https://is.gd/KVm9HW
  • Wakulla State Park and Lodge - home of the world's largest fresh water spring (with morning vultures and a perfect environment for Manatee) and early 1900 Lodge - Link: thelodgeatwakullasprings.com/
  • St. Marks Refuge and Lighthouse - the second oldest lighthouse in Florida in the wildlife refuge of St Marks Link: https://lighthousefriends.com/light.asp?ID=594
  • The Yulee Sugar Mill Ruins - remnants of the once-thriving 5,100-acre sugar plantation: a 40-foot limestone masonry chimney, iron gears and a cane press. Link: https://is.gd/PmQI1E
