My trip to Inglis Florida and new pics of Avant-Garde

My trip to northern Florida and new pics of Avant-Garde

This past week I went up to northern Florida to take a friend of mine home and I tend to forget how nice it is to visit this state which is full of wild natural preserves, the everglades, and vast expanses of forest and lakes as we travel north past Orlando and into Inglis Florida, a small town that is perfect for relaxation and to simply unwind and let go...

Enjoy the pics of the serene countryside of Florida...

Northern Florida

Our trip to norther Florida was full of excitement even getting a flat tire on the way which we had to get fixed at one of the local repair shops.. It worked out great and we had a great time up there ...

As we traveled north, we got a flat tire which we had fixed right before we traveled back down..
