Right about where the Parkway crosses over, there's a little sign for a park entrance, and I thought I'd take a quick peek. Right!

Disappointed in the Pow Wow in Port Richey on Saturday, the gorgeous day Sunday invited us to ride out to Brooksville to check out the Pow Wow there! Shady Hills Road runs north from Route 52 between the SunCoast Parkway and Route 41, and reminds me alot of the roads back home with its twists and turns. Right about where the Parkway crosses over, there's a little sign for a park entrance, and I thought I'd take a quick peek. Right! ... and discover the Central Pasco and Gulf Railroad, www.cpgrr.org, open for rides, by donation. This park calls for a definite return with a day to spend! Along the way I saw mention made of primitive camping areas also. As I neared Brooksville on Highway 50, there were welcome signs directing me to the Native American Festival ... and into Beef O'Brady's parking lot? Down a path, across a small bridge, the restaurant had provided a field for use as dance grounds! The first of what plans to be an annual event, this Pow Wow was relatively small and more of an exhibition than a competition. There was a lot of focus put on education; the symbology painted on the horses, and the etiology of the dances. Click on pictures to enlarge.

I've been riding now for over 40 years, beginning in the dirt on a Honda SL-70 when I was 12. I always leaned more toward trials riding than racing, but also loved riding the tracks (flat track and motocross) with the guys I came up with when they'd practice (on a Honda Elsinore 125). Our motto then was "If you don't go down you're not riding hard enough!" ... not finding your limits. Archives
