An uneventful ride. Left camp at 8:00 am, pulled into the motel in Crestview at 2:30. However, we, JB and I, only rode for 5h15m, the rest were breaks.
We passed by the Pensacola Naval Air Station, home of the famous Blue Angels, but it being Sunday, and relatively early in the morning, nothing and no one was in the air.
The weather continues hot, high 80's, and humid. Rain is apparently in the forecast, but so far so good.
We're faced with some high mileage over the next few days in order to complete the trip within the allotted 58 days. As Paul pointed out, the optimum length for the tour is 62 days, but the powers-that-be at ACA have deemed the shorter time span in order to have the van and trailer available for the Trans-America tour that leaves in mid-May from Virginia. Originally, we were supposed to have 11 days off over the 8 weeks, but Paul and Nicole had to reduce that to 7, including our first intro day in San Diego, in order to get us to St. Augustine in time. It's a good thing we're all stronger than we were at the beginning, or the next nine days would be most difficult. We do have a rest day in Tallahassee later this week before our final push to the end.
Tonight's map meeting will have us pulling out the seventh and final map of the tour. Another indication of how close we are to the end.
I've run into an interesting situation with my camera. Recently, it has labelled three photos as unidentifiable, and when I attempt to import them to the iPad, another photo is overlaid on the original. Weird!
Which leads me to today's photo collection. The first is just one of red dirt, because I'm impressed with how red it is. The other three are the ones I mentioned earlier.
Go figure.
