Renegades on the River Drive and Dine

The long awaited Renegades on the River, drive and dine, was held today. We started off at Trout Creek Park on Rte 16 with 20 cars. Another southern group left Palm Coast for a meet up at the Renegades Restaurant near Welaka National Fish Hatchery. One can never get tired of the drive down

SR13 next to the St. John’s River. We merged with SR 17 and took that south, past Palatka, to Welaka.
You could not ask for a nicer “Floriday” to drive your Porsche. A great event organized by Patrick and Janet Press O’Donnell our social chairs.

For your enjoyment, the lyrics to Jimmy Buffet’s Floridays.

 I come from where the rivers meet the sea
That’s part of why I’m so wild and fancy free
I was early into crazy ways, my folks said it’s just a phase
They were hopin’ for better days

Now in my line of work, I seem to see a lot more than most
Write ’em down, pass ’em around, it’s the gospel from the coast
Reflections, not just replays, takin’ time to escape the maze
Lookin’ for better days

I spent a year of my life one night on the beaches in old Beirut
Seems that all they’re aimin’ for there is to hang around and shoot
Each others’ lives away, bloody winds on a distant bay
They’re lookin’ for better days

Lookin’ to the left, lookin’ to the right
Lookin’ to the stars to shed some light
Hopin’ for a breath, hopin’ for a break
Hopin’ for the give without the take

The dreamers line the state road just to watch the runway show
Slouched behind their steering wheels, they just watch the big jets go
Streakin’ through the morning haze, focal point of a distant gaze
Lookin’ for better days
