Saddle Tramps will do an Urban ride Sunday, August 14th, on a hunt to locate some 25 sculptures placed strategically around the downtown and University of Florida campus.  This is a joint "Town and Gown" effort called "Crossing Paths" featuring the work of Sculptor, Seward Johnson, and his life-sized sculptures of people, with one 20 foot tall piece which is located on the Plaza of the Americas. 

We will depart from my house--516 N.E. 2nd Street*--at 7:45 a.m., and there should be ample space to park your car here.  The east side of Gainesville will yield up at least four of the works of art;  others between downtown and campus, with the majority being close to the Reitz Union.  School is not yet in session so we should have ample freedom to range around campus and the downtown area to locate the sculptures and return by 10:30 a.m.  Be at my house by 7:30 a.m. in order to plan a reasonable route.  (*Second Street is one-way going south, so approach it from North Main or 1st Street by turning east on 6th Avenue, then right {south} on 2nd Street.  It can also be accessed from N.E. 8th Avenue at a blinking yellow light.)
