We're In Ocala, Florida

Ocala, Florida

Weather: low 70 degrees in Tallahassee, Florida, high 90 degrees in Ocala, Florida

Even though we were in a new place last night, we slept well because we were in our own bed. It was 1030 hours before we pulled out, and the first thing we noticed was that the traffic on I-10 did not seem as heavy as it was last year. Another thing we noticed was that the number of RVs was way down. When we reached I-75 and turned south toward Ocala, we noticed the same things: less traffic and fewer RVs. All of this is probably a result of high fuel prices and the economy woes.

We made an easy drive of about 185 miles down to Ocala, my hometown. We were parked and set up by 1400 hours, and rested until about 1700 hours. At that time, we started thinking about supper, because we had not eaten since breakfast. A thick, juicy hamburger sounded good, so we went to the local Back Yard Burgers restaurant. Good choice.

After eating, we went over to Carolyn's mother's to visit her. She is looking well, and says she is doing fine. We had a good visit and left after a couple of hours. Our travels had caught up with us, and we were ready to relax. Tomorrow will be another day to visit, and I'll try to get some pictures of the area.

More later, be safe.
