If you've been to Boot Hill, you've probably seen the caretakers of the cemetary, members of the...

If you're interested in seeing a little bit of "old Florida" then you will enjoy the roads on the west side of Volusia County.  One of my favorite rides begins as you are entering the outskirts of DeLand while heading west on US 92.  Just past the light at Kepler Rd look for Marsh Rd (CR 4047) on the right.  Turn right onto Marsh Rd and you will be transported back in time.  The road is well shaded...
