It's Turkey here. After delivering a foil pan to my Daughter's house at 6:30 I noticed it's a great day for a ride. So in
@drbuzzard fashion I went for a ride in the hood, or to the beach. Same thing right? So like the ol buzzard I took some pictures along the way.
First up the new 3 mile bridge across Pensacola Bay is nearing completion with all lanes open in 3 more months. This bridge is near exactly 3 miles long so this is the view from 1.5 miles "north" of the bridge. I'm going to rent one of those electric bicycles one day and peddle across the bridge like everyone does now.
It was 63 leaving my house (inland 3 miles from the Bay) but the marine layer was soild at the Pensacola Beach beach ball water tower. Pretty good crowd there at 7:36 am for a turkey trot fun run down the beach road. Temp was only 58 at the beach so I headed back north.
On the North side exit at the 3 mile bridge is the "Gaffitti Bridge". It's regaffitted daily at times and usually some type bs but today it's still rocking the painting of the Blue Angels airshow at the NAS a couple weeks back.
I headed randomly north through town and took a pix of this bush putting out it's last blooms of the year I suspect.
A another spot provided a pic of an Orange tree. The Orange trees are doing very well this year and the tree in my Daughters yard has great tasting fresh fruits.
Crossing the Norhtern end of Pensacola bay the bridge at Hwy 98 over the Escambia river was clear of most all people so I did a bad and stopped a snap a picture right at the top of the bridge. (25' clear of the no traffic). This is where the river enters the Bay.
I rode just 4 miles north and turned around to get a few "sea level" shots. This is a Kayak launch made to slide the Kayak right out the truck bed and into the Simpson river at the Bay. The launch ramp (pipes) runs right down in front of the ST.
Now under the HWY 98 bridge the duck hunters were out in full force at the Swamphouse boat ramp.
I made it to the Turkey Day chosen site (Daughters house) and the neighbors house was just asking for a picture in front of their loaded down Orange tree.
but I did ride 100 miles today
