Snowbird Gathering '17

[Fireeater]

Here is my 2 cents on restaurants.

If you get to Alachua, a good restaurant is

Conestogas Restaurant
14920 Main St.
Alachua, FL.

Some darn good riding off of 200, west of I-75 to it.

Or

If you get to Crystal River, a good restaurant is

Crackers at Crystal River

502 NW 6th St, Crystal River, FL 34428


If you get to Inverness, try out

Stumpknockers
either on State Road 200 or Main St., Inverness, FL

I organized the Main St. location just today to this place. Had 39 show up. Called ahead a few days with approx numbers, all was set. Fast service and good food.


If you make it to Cedar Key try out Tony's Seafood Restaurant, 2nd St, Cedar Key. Won numerous awards for their clam chowder.
Be advised, their large bowl will feed 2.

Belleview has a good breakfast place called Carl's Place. 11007 SW. 66th Terr., Bellview, FL

A lot of roads west of I-75 are like going back in time view wise. Tranquil and relaxing scenery.

The road to Cedar Key West of State Road 19 is long, boring, but like going back in time as well. Cedar Key is not big, but a nice area with restaurants galore and window shopping.
Since I still work and pay the road taxes for trike riders, I can not make this gathering.

Any questions, ask away. I will keep checking back.

[leo3wheel]

Thanks for organizing this event Tom! Was great to see everyone! Happy trails 'til we meet again! Leo

Yep as always TOM did a GREAT job. We had between 10 to 15 trikes here over the 4 days with between 20 and 25 people. Very low keyed and I think all had a good time. This has been the only group meet I've done in the last few years and MJ and I enjoy it.

THANKS TOM

By now everyone has headed out of Ocala and either home or continuing on with another adventure. I want to thank everyone who were with us in Ocala this year. We had the absolute best weather you could ask for. I also want to let the others who were not able to make it this year that you were missed and asked about by many. For those still on the road, we all wish you a safe journey home.

Thank you for your complements, they are very much appreciated. I try to make it interesting for our gatherings.

I didn't take the first photo so feel free to post any you wish to share.
