Saddle Tramps will ride Wednesday,  April 6th, from Powers Park on Hawthorne Road @ Newnans Lake boat launch, which is 4 miles from the intersection of East University and Hawthorne Road.  Meet there at 9:45 a.m. for a 10:00 a.m. departure.  There is no chance of rain, although temperatures are predicted to be in the 40's earlier.  By departure time it should be in the 60's warming to the 70's by ride's end. 

We'll head to C.R. 325 south, via C.R. 346 over the River Styx, to the Evinston old Post Office, and on to Orange Lake @ Boardman.  There are plenty of birds to see on this scenic route, with bald eagles usually visible.  Our return will be through Micanopy where we'll have a rest stop, then head up C.R. 234 to the Gainesville-Hawthorne Trail and back where we started.  Approximately 34 miles.
