The Wine Leg

We didn't get away from Jacksonville until late on Thursday. We left Fox Valley around 2PM and immediately stopped for lunch and then gas. But being retired means being flexible and we flexed. It was obvious we would not make DeFuniak Springs that day so being flexible, we said "OK" "We'll stop there on Friday instead".

It worked out well as it gave us the opportunity to revisit one of the highlights of Florida, that being it's tallest waterfall. We decided to overnight at Falling Waters State Park to be able to view this marvel.

This looks promising, but we are actually standing in a sinkhole.

The reason it's the tallest in Florida is because the falls end at the bottom of a cylindrical hole thus accounting for the claimed 74 foot water drop. Still it was fun to see.

The next day we were off to Chatauqua Winery to replenish the wine cellar in Roadie. We started out empty and needed to fill it for the trip out West. We knew pretty much what we wanted but still had to sample a few types to ensure the right selections.

The sign is visible from I-10. They bottle great muscadine wines.
