Well, friends, I'm back on East Coast time, so this update should go through without LJ frizzing out on me. Heh.
Not much to report today. Been riding on I-10 all day. Having been through Florida before, this whole section is old hat to me, although, for some reason, I seem to be covering territory faster than on my last trip.
I suspect that my travels in the southwest have caused me to adjust what I consider a 'long' car trip.
This part of Florida is pretty boring. Nothing to see. Shot through Talahasee and cleared Lake City which I wasn't expecting to do. At the moment, I'm about forty miles west of Jacksonville. I thought I'd make it through the city today and switch to I-95, but that hasn't happened.
Too tired.
Pulled off the road in Baldwin and am staying a Best Western that feels like a converted Motel 6. There's a Waffle House next door, and I'm so tempted to go get me a tripple order of covered hashbrowns, but I don't dare. I love hashbrowns, but they don't love me. 'Nuff said.
Anyway, tomorrow, I'll probably clear Florida and enter Georgia.
Don't worry. I'll be gentle.
More later! - MEL
p.s. Do y'all think I've taken this entire road trip to keep from shopping my book around???
