Two Lane Adventure Golf Shore - Day Five

We started out today in Perry Florida and spent our brief time traveling on the Nature Coast Highway. We saw Miles and miles of higher fence. The fence had signs indicating "Licensed hunting preserve." This area runs along side of 27 / 19 / 98. Is the fence to keep the hunted in or the hunters out? We crossed over the Suwannee River and it made me want to break out in song. Since I can'y carry a tune in a basket, I will spare you! On 19 you cross over 10 mile creek. Does anyone know if it is really 10 miles long? In Inglis, we came across Horse Hole Creek. It sounds like it would be a ranch, wrong ... It is the home of The Horse Hole Creek Mud Bog. If you are looking for places to ride your ATV, UTV, Side by Side or 4 wheeler, they have several exciting ATV riding trails in their park. Historic Yankeetown was founded by an Indiana politician and lawyer in 1923. If he was from Indiana, how did the town get it's name? People from Indiana are not Yankees, are they?Ever heard of Red Level, Florida. Not me either, here is what I learned about Red Level. Over 100 years ago, William Turner made his home, Ina town named Cedar Grove, just north of Crystal River.  The site, which was situated mid-way between Crystal River and the Withlacoochee River, is now known as Red Level. We ended our day in Crystal River, the gem of the Florida Nature Coast. Get it, Crystal ... Gem ... Why is the north west coast of Florida called the Nature Coast? Isn't there more parts of Florida with Nature? Final leg to home, first thing in the morning.
