While Bathing At Daytona

Well, I guess Daytona Beach isn't the safest place in the world. Not now, not then. Especially if then is 1890. I spotted this headstone in Pinewood Cemetery, near the water in Daytona. You may have never heard of this cemetery, but you've probably heard of the bar across the street, Boot Hill Saloon. That's the epicenter of many of the Bike Week festivities around these parts. Their slogan is "You're Better Off Here Than Across The Street". Well, this is in the cemetery across the street.

Daytona Tonight

Here I am in Daytona Beach, again. It's just a couple of days after the Daytona 500, but most everything is back to normal already. But I did notice that the leaderboard over at the track is still lit up, and it's showing the 208 laps they raced as well as the top finishers. I can almost see this sign out the window of the hotel, but I shot it from a field between the track and the airport. Still not very close, but closer.
