From 7-11 AM I was watching a documentary on the History channel about Theodore Roosevelt, "An American Lion" and a man that the National Park Service and I owe so much to! Very inspiring documentary; he was that kind of man!
11:32/3365.7 = Turned right on S.R. 263
11:34/3367.4 = Left on C.R. 30A
11:37/3369.2 = Passing thru a community called "Watercolor" next to the town of Seaside. As for Watercolor, "it's not on any map, true places never are."
11:54/3378.0 = Back on U.S. 98 East
12:23/3400.7 = Turned left on U.S. 231 in Panama City. Going back to I-10 now
Hmmm... DC does not have any fireworks on new years eve and NYC is 18 F w/ freezing rain and snow
1:11/3447.0 = Back on good ole I-10 in a little bit of rain/carwash
1:30/3459.3 = I-10x142. $26.50 = 16.269 gallons (3460.2). As I was filling up a lady walked by and said "Thats a pretty color of blue!"
I thanked her.
My car looks GORGEOUS after the rain earlier!!
1:50 CST/3461.9 = Back on the road again while listening to some recently downloaded songs ("Hot n Cold" right now)
3:04 PM Eastern Standard Time = 3480.0 = Crossed Apalachicola River and time zone boundary.
3:12/3942 ... Called Grant -- meeting for lunch on Tuesday
5:07/3613.9 = Took x296A for I-75 South (yup, South...)
7:16/3720.6 = Passed Turnpike exit and stayed on I-75 South just as "Eternal Flame" came on CD #3/4/3.
I've been a little uncomfortable for driving right now, but I dont mind.... I'm even enjoying it! What I'm not enjoying is the traffic ever since I joined I-75! But after the Florida Turnpike went its own way, its been a steady 70MPH on I-75. Hopefully it stays that way -- I wanna drive as close to Miami as possible tonight so I'll have max daylight hours for Key West tomorrow -- and maybe Everglades.
"Eternal Flame" just finished on the CD and I need to plug my cellphone back in the charger now....
7:46/3755.2 = I'm getting tired of these left-lane hoggers who think they own the road... they don't own the road -- I DO!
8:02/3773.4 = Passed x274 for I-275 ... I'm staying on I-75 towards Naples (the one in Florida)
9:34/3885.4 = x161
9:44/3886.6 = Back on 75
10:13/3923.8 = Took x123
$30.01 = 18.087 Gallons (3934.5 miles)
