Runner Friendly "Bagel Maker" Opens New Store
|
Jim Hayden, aka. The Bagel
Maker, opened his new store in
the old Spud-Nut building on
Tyndall Parkway January 29th..
They have great bagels, flavored
cream cheese, sandwiches and
ice-cold drinks. Give them a call.
850-215-7501 (downtown) or
215-7566 (Parker) or email them.
THE BAGELMAKER@AOL.COM
Of course, the original Bagel
Maker is still open as usual at
41 West 4th Street. Stop by and
check out the friendly atmosphere!
You'll remember them because
they will remember you!
This is a great waterfall located a
couple miles from the northern
trailhead.
Joe checks out a limestone shelf for
artifacts. Prehistoric shells and fossils
are abundant along this waterway!
The Econfina has cut its pathway
through mud, clay and limestone to
reveal its real beauty!
Diane really LOVES bridges that are high
and long! This suspension bridge is 5 miles
from the northern trailhead. Diane's husband
Hayes, introduced us to this section of the
Florida Scenic Trail. He deserves a big
thank-you from all of us!
Andrea, Marty, Andy, Diane and Hayes
on a down hill!
Econfina gets really small at the
headwater. Trail runners can get off
the track while hunting for fossils.
