Podunk, FL 4-24

Back on 17 for the last time.  GA has well marked, great surfaced roads and cruised down about 20 miles before first sanctioned cutoff in woodbine where there's a paved rail trail (unpaved further north).. Then followed the Google directions, rather than the greenway site, onto groover rd where after a couple miles,  the road turned to sand.  Not gravel, not dirt, but literally sand.  Who makes a road out of sand?  And why did Google send us there?  We were cursing Jason for 3 miles, as we mostly walked.  Then back onto 17 for bbq in Kingsland, city of royal treatment.  Surprisingly, they had no salad but good roadside bbq!  As we watched the bad weather get closer, we headed south towards FL, getting 5 miles from yulee when the skies opened.  We waited for the predicted break, and then got most of the way to our hotel, before being solidly soaked by the Nassau hotel ($80).  At least we beat the hail. Ducked across the street for some bowling, Sinclair smoking frankel, more bbq and then one more day of riding.  50 miles.
