James Farm Eco Center/Wildlife refuge:
Beautiful, spring like day in south-coastal DE. James Farm is one of the few areas near me for riding "off road/gravel". The total loop is about 5 miles. Except for areas of much sand, it is easy riding and gets a lot of use by pedestrians and bikes. Fair weather users mostly. No motorized vehicles of any kind allowed. If this area had not been donated, it would now be a huge "development", which I prefer to call destruction. I believe it is still run and maintained by both the state and a conservatorship.

Found some new to me non-paved roads in the Ocala Nat Forest. They went on for miles. I don't think I saw anyone for 20 miles.

The ride goes through a lot of grassy pasture land; as the elevation goes up, the vegetation gets thinner and the landscape gets rockier. Another pic from the ride, above the clouds.
