Despite the early morning hour, the sun’s rays warm the blacktop covering Route 301 from Gainesville heading north. Inhaling the warm moist air, you notice a horse statue atop a sign towering over the green plains blanketing Alachua County.  The Waldo Farmer’s Flea Market begs you to explore “Central Florida’s Largest Flea Market” for a while on the way to your flight in Jacksonville. Dust swirls with the breeze in the gravel covered parking area, while cars creep into the lot on this Sunday morning.  Early risers already scored the best bargains, now neatly tucked away in plastic shopping bags and eco-friendly reusable totes.  The satisfied patrons make their way back to their cars as you pull into a vacant spot.
