On The Road

Tallahassee, Florida

Weather: low 69 degrees in Coker, Alabama, high 93 degrees in Tallahassee, Florida, partly cloudy skies

We left Coker shortly after 0800 hours this morning, on our way to Ocala, Florida, and other points to visit relatives. Traveling conditions were good, with mostly clear skies and light breezes. We stopped about 50 miles into our trip and bought a cantaloupe and some fresh peaches at a roadside stand. One guess on what the snack for tonight will be.

The route we usually take to go to Florida from Coker is through Montgomery, Troy, Ozark, and Dothan. Over the years, the congestion around these towns has become so great that we are considering taking a different route back to the Tuscaloosa area when we return. These towns seem to be doing well during the recession, with a lot of construction ongoing. The problem is that more and more traffic lights are being installed, and it seems to take forever to get through all the traffic.

We arrived at the RV park in Tallahassee about 1630 hours. By the time we were checked in and set up, we were ready to rest and relax. Carolyn decided we would have sandwiches so we wouldn't have to go out to eat. Thank God! I was ready to crash.

If I can last long enough, I'll try to watch the NCAA Women's Softball Championship game tonight. Florida is in a desperate situation, having lost last night. One more loss and they are gone.

More later, be safe.
