Day 57 - Sunday, May 4

Gainesville, FL to Palatka, FL - 61 miles - 3140 miles. 

It was the ultimate penultimate day. After five days of overcast and rain, we rode in sunshine and heat. And to top it off, the route included over 20 miles of bike path; no traffic, no noise, no stress. 
One highlight was Nicole meeting us at the 30-mile mark with bottles of cold Starbucks mochas. Perfection!
We're staying at a motel/resort along the St. John River, which we'll cross tomorrow on our final ride to St. Augustine. 
We had a celebratory dinner of Southern boil (crayfish, crab legs, sausage, shrimp, and corn on the cob) on the patio, and then moved inside for our final map meeting, and a bout of reminiscing about each leg of the journey, which brought back the many fun and difficult times we shared.
