The reason for the title, what should have been a 200 mile day turned into a 287 mile day. We started out for Southern Sweet Creamery in Marianna. We just took a bit different way to get there. 8 Sandies started this Twisted Journey through the hinterlands of North Florida.
5 Sandies left GTD met 2 Sandies in route Bobby B and Tommy N along the journey. There was a chance of rain for the day. Tim W took no time to remind me of my magnetic ability to attract rain no matter how slight the chance. Fortunately my ability to attract dark clouds bulging with water did not come to fruition . What we did was take some really fun roads in our quest for the perfect ice cream.
Here I ‘d like to mention that Sandy S was supposed to have joined us but Munchkin prevented that. Okay here’s what happened, every year Munchkin has a bumper crop of lemons. Munch brings them to us to distribute amongst ourselves. We are talking a large bag of lemons, apparently and this is just a rumor completely not verified. Sandy OD on lemons so Sandy had to miss the trip.
Now back to the rest, here I gotta thank Tim W his road scoring the last year has been outstanding. Tim has uncovered some exceptional roads and I took full advantage of Tim’s largess, thank you Tim. I also need to thank Tim for doing Sheepdog duty today, well appreciated.
Joejoe brought up the fact that just as we got close to destination, say 25 miles. JoeJoe would look again and his GPS would say 80 miles. Ah the joys of a Sandie Road Adventures.
After beautiful miles we arrived at Marianna, only to be reminded by one and all that it was lunch time. I have likened Sandies to Herding Cats, if you have been owned by a cat you know true food starvation or acting at its finest. Feed the cat 5 minutes later it looks like its starving and hasn’t been fed in a month. Sandies ain’t no different, watch ’em eat doughnuts and listen two hours later about “I’m starving, you know its lunch”. Tommy N even says “ As you finish your meal start thinking of your next’.
After a hardy lunch we proceeded to our intended reason for all the adventure. Southern Sweet Creamery, It was incredibly fantastic. The ice cream was to die for, butterfat content was through the roof. To add insult to injury the baked goods were out of this world. I bought some brownies “Slutty Brownies” the first ingredient was butter. They were sinful is all I can say. We will be going back in the future. Come join us you will flat enjoy the day.
We arrived home dry and enjoying another great Sandie Road Adventures
Thank you JoeJoe for the outstanding pictures.
