It's a very small town and a pretty much "isolated" area, but it is near
the Suwanee River. Used to drive by the road signs to Live Oak on my way
to and from Tallahassee. I think there was a truck stop on I-10 near
Live Oak. Maybe it was a burger joint.

I assume the name of the town comes from the "evergreen" oaks found
throughout Northern Florida (and much more of the southeast). It's a
nice wood, strong, but the damned trees are fragile and lose limbs easily.

I-10, I assume the name comes for a shortening of Interstate 10, in
Florida and Georgia they use concrete for the driving surface. In
Georgia they normally use granite gravel as the base, and then use a
granite dust called Crush and Run to smooth out the base before pouring
the concrete. In Florida, they often use a limestone/shell crush as the
base.

I find the concrete doesn't have the problem of pot holes you often see
with asphalt.
