Live in this area. Thought you would mention the World War I Doughboy statues on each corner of the bridge. Don't see many videos that cover Palatka, well done.

Beautiful well done video. I was in Ravine gardens a couple of weeks ago and azaleas were starting to bloom already but now they're probably much more in blooms. Excellent video! 👍

Good job! I like visiting the canal lock and then over to the controversial Rodman Dam. There is a road across it and a boat launch at the base of the dam. If you ever get back to Palatka, I highly recommend lunch special at Niko’s where I get the Greek salad and 6” Italian sub. It’s over flowing at lunch so get there early.
