flagler county: Our Favorite Hangout Is In Korona Florida At The White Eagle - 08/01/07 07:21 PM
On Sunday afternoons Steve and I like to get on our Shovel Head and go for a ride. We'll go to one of our favorite hangouts where we know there is good food, good people and cold drinks.
Our favorite is the White Eagle Lounge in Korona, about a 15 minute ride north on US 1 from where we live. We have a history there, Steve's is a lot longer then mine. (He has known the owners for years) Long story short it is where we met during Bike Week of 06. We'll still point out … (49 comments)

flagler county: My 4th Of July Forida Burn Ban & Wildfire Updates & Safety Tips - 06/30/07 01:09 PM
Where has the year gone?
It seems like Christmas was just last month and now here we are, its almost the Fourth Of July!
I know it seems like the state of Florida has seen a lot of rain during the month of June. The sad fact remains that we are still very dry folks. We need to be very careful while celebrating our Nation's Independence.
I've been contacted a couple times this past week about the Burn Bans around the state. Some have been lifted, some are still in effect. Here are the Florida Counties still under a Burn Ban:
Baker, Bay, Charlotte, Flagler, Franklin, Glades (partial ban), Gulf, Hernando, Lake, Levy … (12 comments)

flagler county: Smoke From A Not So Distant Fire 5/11/2007 Florida Fires 2007 - 05/11/07 03:32 PM
The smoke isn't so bad here in Daytona Beach today. We have what's left of Sub Tropical Storm Andrea of our coast that blew the smoke somewhere else and I thought our Airport Road Fire was out.
NOT SO.
I just finished reading the Daytona News Journal and not only is the Airport Road not out, it has gone from 60% contained to 45% contained in the last day.
On the up side it is smaller, down from 6,800 to 6,100 acres. Some firefighters have also left, their numbers are now 164 down from 190. I hope that means … (10 comments)

flagler county: Smoke From A Not So Distant Fire Updated 5/8 - 05/07/07 11:52 PM
Fourteen miles from the Century 21 Sundance Pelican Bay office and twelve miles from where Steve and I live there is a wildfire burning on the border of the Volusia and Flagler County lines.

The smoke from the fire can cover our county depending on the wind. On Thursday and Friday it was so thick it burned our eyes, we could smell and taste it fourteen miles away. In the afternoon the seabreeze picked up and blew the smoke away.
Friday afternoon Governor Charlie Christ declared a State of Emergency which allows the National Guard … (57 comments)

flagler county: Is Volusia County Under A Burn Ban? I Think We Should Be.. - 03/25/07 08:27 AM
I was watching Fox 35 News out of Orlando last night and I could have sworn the story mentioned Volusia County was under a "Burn Ban"
I pulled up the web site this morning and searched it, nothing about the "Burn ban", watched the story again and it seems to be edited. I checked every local news website and the Daytona Beach News Journal, nothing about a "Burn Ban"
Some natural disasters cease to scare me like they used to. I know what to do now. I've been through quakes, including the 1989 Loma Prieta Quake, 4 hurricanes, blizzards, ice storms and … (18 comments)

flagler county: Living In Coastal Volusia Or Flagler County, Florida IS Special - 12/30/06 07:22 AM
I see a lot of statistics and info on the blogs here in AR but I want to explain why living here on the East Coast of Florida can be so special. First off we have two huge NASCAR Races, the Daytona 500 and Pepsi 400 every year, the ROLEX 24, we have BIKEWEEK, Biketober Fest, and of course Spring Break all through March, and many other events through out the year.
Our Natural Special Events are even better tho....
In December the Manatee flock to a beautiful State Park called Blue Springs in Orange City by the hundreds to keep warm. It … (6 comments)
