OCTOBER 23 - 24 - HEADING NORTH FROM FLORIDA

TUESDAY 
OCTOBER 23, 2012

 

 

The time has finally come to head NORTH.

We spent Tuesday morning packing the Truck.

We had lunch in the RV,

before moving it to its storage site.

 

We left Southern Oaks at 1:35PM,

and stopped at the Hair Cuttery

where Rita had a Cut.

Russ had gone to Al's on Monday,

when he took the truck for an Oil Change.

Now we all are ready for the Road.

 

God Bless our friend, Leo for inviting

us to stay overnight in his home,

so we could start HOME early Wednesday morning.

Leo's home in Ocala, Florida
is for sale on Craig's list.

What a surprise to see a Magnolia in bloom in October,
in Leo's yard.



WEDNESDAY
OCTOBER 24, 2012

We were ON THE ROAD AGAIN, by 8:18 AM,
after breakfast at the OASIS Restaurant in Ocala.
By 10:55 AM we entered GEORGIA where we paid
$3.46 per gallon for gas.

As we journeyed along Interstate 95 North,
we could see cotton still in the fields,
as well as some that had already been harvested.

Once we were in South Carolina, the gas prices dropped
to $3.23 at Flying J, at Exit 73 of Interstate 77N.

By 5:16 PM, we entered NORTH CAROLINA.
We arrived at my daughter, Kathy's
home by 7:30 PM.
Russ had driven 589 miles today.
The longest day of our entire journey.
