We got on the road about 9:30 am. The drive was good today. We headed east on I-10, had very little traffic and it was sunny with virtually no wind. Just beyond Tallahassee we left I-10 and headed south on US 27. It was a great road through open country with an occasional small town here and there. Today was our longest segment of the trip, mileage wise at 358 miles. We cranked out the miles without a lot of effort and arrived at the Crystal River RV Park around 5:00 pm. We lost an hour as we changed time zones from the Central to Eastern zone.
We met my sister Eileen, her friend Linda, my sister Sharyn visiting from Grass Valley and Eileen's daughter Amy for dinner at a local restaurant. They had all returned from a cruise from Tampa to Honduras and Mexico this morning. We had a great dinner and it was good to see them again.
We are going to travel to Clearwater tomorrow (without the RV) to see the first Phillies spring training game. It is an exibition game against the University of Tampa, a top-ranked Division II team. In fact, the Phillies lost to them last year, the first major league team to lose to a college team in the last 4 years. That was the start of a long season of frustration for the Phillies that is best forgotten. This year "hope springs eternal," as usual..
We will return to Crystal River after the game to spend another night here and have dinner again with Eileen, Linda and Sharyn.
Our reservation at Bay Bayou RV park in Oldsmar where we will be staying in March does not start until Tuesday, March 1st. We do not have a reservation anywhere else for Monday, February 29th. We are hopeful we can get into our site early or another site for one night, but we won't know until Monday if that is going to work. We may end up in a Walmart or Cracker Barrel parking lot for that night.
No pictures today.
