Default Jacksonville/Mayport area

So I went wheeling today near Mayport Naval Station, by Singleton's Restaurant. There is a long stretch of riverfront there with lots of parking and lots of broken concrete. Hey, it's better than stacking cardboard boxes and suitcases on the patio. I'll try to post pictures in a second.

Quite a stretch of terrain, probably 150 feet or so, maybe 10 feet wide. I crawled for maybe 20 minutes before the pack ran down. In that time I popped a driveshaft off the yoke once and flipped several times. It was a blast!

Kenny take your camera so we can see an idea of the spot.

Assuming that wasn't sarcasm, I can get some more pics and maybe a video tomorrow when I go at lunchtime.

No that was not sarcasm. I have really good sarcasm .
It's just a little hard to get an idea with still's.

Unless you do a panoramic shot but for the most part.. yeah, stills are nice for detail, but video gives a better idea of an area.

The poor excuse for the crappy driving style is that I was doing it one handed so that I could run the camera with the other hand.
