Day 43: Mary Esther FL (Rest Day)

Today was exactly as the title says; a rest day.  Thanks to Denny and Belinda for hosting us for two nights.   I did get up early today around 6AM and did some Ubiquity work.  Late in the morning we headed out for some fun with Denny's friends. They have a shooting range and we had a good time target and skeet shooting.  Sandy came along and had her first experience with a western style 6 shooter.  She was uncomfortable but sucked it up and gave it a try.  She is brave.

One thing I did note from today, is Bush Light beer is not that bad.   This could be my go to beach beer for a while.   During the afternoon, I spent some more time on work then we headed out for a German meal.  Belinda is from Germany and Denny spent time there in the military - they met in Germany.  With their help we order some excellent food and I am going to bed full.

Tomorrow will be a 60 mile ride to Ebro FL.  Sounds like an easy day but the forecast is for 20+ winds from the North.  Most of the ride will be East but there are some section that will be direct into it.  The wind is expected to be 10+ tomorrow night so it will be another windy camping night.

Moving Day is Tomorrow

 10/30/2020 Tomorrow is moving day… yeh.    It was a long wait but just one more night and we are on the road.   The moving truck is supposed to show up at 8:00AM and have us out of here before the end of the day.   Let’s hope, not too much has gone as plan so far on the move.    Sandy and I are killing time with margaritas and hanging out with our stuff.   Bessy is packed with everything we will need for the next month (we hope) and maybe more.    After they load the truck tomorrow, we are off.   First stop will be a night in Bakersfield CA tonight and then on to Independence CA in the morning.    People only go to Independence CA for one thing…    to ride Onion Valley Rd.    Cannot wait and more tomorrow when we are on the road. In garage with our stuff...

Good by Tennessee, Hello Kentucky

 11/14/20 11/14/20 Time fly’s by…   it has been 3 days since I last posted something.   Let’s recap for you.   We had our 1st camp fire.   Sandy and I spent the last 6 nights camping.   We were lucky and showered on day 2 but have been without since.   That means 5 days without a shower.   We spent 3 nights at the 101 Marina, what stood out is each night was colder than the one before, but the days would warm up to be nice.    We spent more time inside the car/tent than normal.   After 101 Marina we headed east about 5 hours to Fort Pillow State Park in Tennessee.     On the way I we crossed the Mississippi River, what a treat.   There were several very large barges just under the bridge, the river was huge.    The Tennessee state line must be in the middle of the Mississippi. We arrived at Fort Pillow on Friday night, so the place was packed with weekend campers.   It reminded me a lot...

Day 38: Amite City LA to Poplarville MS

Image
We wasted a night in a hotel last night thinking it was going to rain.  I finished yesterday in a drizzle but by 6PM last night it was clear and no rain.  We left from the Comfort Inn in Amite City with the usual daily enthusiasm.   Ready for another day... Wasted a night in a hotel, weather was nice this morning. The highlight of today was leaving Louisiana and crossing the Mississippi border (No jokes about yesterday, I know I was a day early).  If this tells you anything the ride was generally boring today, nothing to see.   This is a make up picture for when we entered LA There was no sign on the West side so we got it going out!!!! We will only be in this state for a couple of days. I was expecting about a 70 mile day.  When we stopped for lunch in Bogalusa LA, I was at 50 miles and the ACA route said 30 more to go.  I was not looking forward to the extra 10 miles.   The best lunch in town... I am in my chair in the background....
