Williston, old time Florida

Sometimes referred to as "The Crossroads of Florida", Williston is actually at the intersection where US 27 and US 41 separate again on their journey south. Outside of this rousing achievement not a whole lot goes on in town.


The most exciting shopping opportunity in town
is
at the local hardware store where a variety
of
concrete yard ornaments are available


Marian was strangely attracted to this big
fella but, happily, there was no room in
the coach for such a cutie


With a population of 6,000 or so, the most recent excitement
dates back to 1975 when
Foolish Pleasure, a locally born
horse, won the Kentucky Derby. How about that!



Since we were in the market for another coach we
checked
out a couple of sub-prime repo RVs. This one
promised great
gas mileage but needed a lot of work


I also briefly considered a towable but
Marian appeared less than enthusiastic

hi -- thought you were in sunny warm Florida what is with the coats?

Actual, that towable you were looking at would be a good addition to your Signature and and extra bedroom for guest.

A towable like that would make you stand out in a crowd.
