Gun Range off Apalachee?

[jonny5]

Was driving back from Perry recently and could have sworn I saw a new gun range sign on the way into Tallahassee. Anyone know anything about it? Maybe 10 miles east?

[12bhunting]

Before or after Capps?

[jonny5]

Before or after Capps?

Capital circle? Before. Maybe it was the Armed And Able instructor?

[12bhunting]

I was talking about the town Capps...

[polebarn]

Capps is a town?

[12bhunting]

Capps is a town?

Yeah it's an actual place. That's why the sign says Capps... just like the sign that says Lamont, if you were looking at the sign, yo ass would be in Lamont....

Those would be traffic ticket-writing places...

Not really. You can kinda haul ass till you get close to perry....

Yeah but in Capps the welcome to part is back to back on the same sign.

No that used to be on the road to goose pasture.

[Cattle/Horses]

It's been a while man.

Not sure, but I bet it was better than the stiff and ugly.

You ain't old enough to remember that.

Used to stop there on the way to Kennedy Creek.

You're right, but I've got the stories from my dad when he was a deputy for liberty county!

He worked under Sheriff Harrell Wood? Bet he DOES have some stories.

Your dad might even know 12B. lol

[SATAN]

You know it. Found out they used to call him "quick draw" cause he didn't fuck around on the job.

[WinterSoldier]

... "traffic ticket-writing places..."

Maybe you just weren't a long distance trucker back in the day.

He's probably talking before I-10, when U.S. 27 was the main route.

10 was built in the late 60s, I just remember the construction going on. You weren't even born then.

[WinterSoldier]

The first time I did a run up US 27 I was 3 days old... and I dunno when dad began but he rode shotgun for a produce hauler from Cairo who ran regular loads to Fort Myers back in the early '30s. Then in the mid-1950s through about 1976 he drove a truck up then back down it every week. Dad said slow down religiously... very, very, religiously for Perry, and also to be observant of the speed limit at Capps and Lamont. I have to believe he knew what he was talking about.

I understand that Perry was also a very bad place to be caught DWB, back in the day.

In general, I make it a point to give all far-away small towns a close adherence to their speed limits because writing tickets to "outsiders" is such an obvious potential boost for local government revenues.

[WinterSoldier]

Capps & Lamont never had local police that I was aware of, but in my experience FHP seemed real attracted to that area... especially, or including, late at night.

[12bhunting]

I thought you came up here in the 60's to go to school, bought an overpriced coat and shit.....

True as far as it goes... I started FSU in 1967. We lived in Greenville for a year and a half 1960-1961, and I rode with dad sometimes during the Summer when mom wanted rid of me. I also worked for dad's business driving a truck one Summer before I started at FSU. I think that was the Summer of 1966. But all of my life I went back and forth through Tallahassee for one reason or another.

[AB]

My dad says FHP and the county sheriffs used to meet up on I-10 before it opened and hold drag races with their patrol cars.

[WinterSoldier]

I-10 got built while I was in the Army and stood unconnected for a long time afterwards. I used to ride my bike up and down it for exercise while it was complete here but just completely unused. I never saw anyone on it, not even drag racing coppers. But speaking of copper... I rode back and forth by the "Coppertop" building... Commonwealth building, later Marjorie Stoneman Douglas building... little knowing that I would work in it for many years.

Was that place on the east side of Wacissa?

While we are talking about it, what is the new construction near capps, on the north side of 27? Bunch of long buildings with AC's.

That's the dope plant in wakeenah...

[12bhunting]

I think that's what you are reffering to anyway....

I figured it was either that or something goverment since it didn't have a sign saying "future home of".

[0utlaw]

Dope growers like to keep a low profile, force of habit I reckon...

A Trulieve facility.

Surerra has one in Capitola, but it hidden from the highway.
