2004 FLORIDA PONY TRAIL

This was the third year in a row that group member Art Richardson and I have traveled to Ocala, Florida to participate, along with member Robert Myhrer in the first Pony Trail of the year. This year, the trail left from National Parts Depot in Ocala to Cedar Key on the west coast of Florida. We were able to rent a competition orange Mustang  convertible to use during the trail. A good time was had by all!
