    VINTAGE CARS VISIT


    Tim Jackson of Fort Wayne, Ind., drove his 1912 Jackson automobile.

    Norm and Kathy Madsen of Tallahasee are heading the 2023 Cabin Fever Tour, a five day adventure for vintage car owners. The touring group had never toured south of the Georgia line. It originated so that car collectors could get out of the colder weather and drive their early 20th century cars to varied destinations. On Monday, March 27, the group visited St. Marks to see the fort, then was on to Wakulla Springs for a lunch catered by Seineyard, then a boat ride down the scenic Wakulla River. On Tuesday, they were headed to Pebble Hill in Thomasville and a stop at the Lapham -Patterson House.
    Participants on the tour were from Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Georgia, North Carolina and Florida. There were 15 cars, 35 people. The newest model car was a 1915 Packard owned by the Madsens, while the oldest in the tour was a 1910 Marmon.
