Back on the Mainland

Monday’s drive of about 270 miles was mostly on Interstate Highways 95 and 10.  We like to support the Corps of Engineers who often include camping facilities as a part of their flood control projects.  We pulled into their place just north of Chattahoochee, FL (where the campground is just barely into the corner of Georgia).  Because of a weather front which was stalled to our west, we will stay here for two nights and leave again on Wednesday to avoid some heavy rain.  Aside from the rain here, it’s very quiet and peaceful.

For our “day off” on Tuesday, we backtracked slightly to Florida’s state capital city, Tallahassee.  While there we spent time browsing and buying at Barnes and Noble and enjoyed some coffee at Starbucks.  We drove there and back on some different backroads and saw a whole different Florida – not at all like the southern peninsula. There were some hilly and curvy roads for a change.  Some of the homes we passed looked like the stereotypical southern mansions.  Very beautiful scenery with landscaping including flowering bushes. 

To show how dull are: we reset all of our clocks back to Central Time (it’s about time!).  We’ve been in Eastern Time for over 150 days.  How’s that for exciting?  Now we can watch the 10 p.m. news again!
