Bike Florida- Day Four

Tuesday, March 24- 58 miles
 (including minor detour off the route and trip to and back from a laundromat)

Circle route today to the West of Marianna. We began the day choosing the shorter of the two options, both of which brought us to another State Park and CCC project. This one Falling Waters, as seen in these pictures:



This area is another example of limestone erosion that in this case created a hundred foot chasm, or sinkhole, to capture water. This was, as might be expected, a popular site for the native Americans and early settlers unlike the caverns from yesterday that were dark and too narrow for habitation.

The ride itself was uneventful and the shorter duration allowed for an early return and time to do some much needed laundry. Several of us toured what to us was a surprisingly large and prosperous downtown Marianna after a dinner catered by Dixie Grill from Live Oak.
