The Sunshine State?

Theresa began the days drive leaving the bigger cities of Mobile and Pensacola at the end of the day for Kevin :) She sipped on her water slowly as not to have to make a stop before she at least contributed 100 miles to the drive. Relief came at a Pilot Station, where Kevin attempted to fill up with diesel fuel but due to an air lock was only able to get about 7 gallons in the tank. Zin continued her usual pacing the hallway of the RV and would only find comfort in patches of warmth provided by the occasional revelation of the sun thru partially clouding skies. As the Florida border was crossed, the cloud cover solidified and Zin had no more sunshine to bask in, so more pacing ensued. The I-10 views varied on this stretch from the LA bayou crossings to endless swampland then to long elevated water crossing with on ramps that seemed to come right out of the water.

Reservations had been made at St. Rosa Sound RV park in Navarre, FL for 2 nights. This part of FL is called the Emerald Coast (because of the green colored waters) and had businesses, hotels and housing options lining both sides of the main thorough-fare called Gulf Breeze Parkway.

Both the navigator and driver almost missed the turn into the RV park as the sign was quite small compared to the surrounding establishments.

Once checked in the Toad was unhooked so the rig could be backed into the assigned site. The park was right on the sound and had a private beach, but with temps in the low 60's and no breaks in the cloud cover there is little doubt a beach stroll let alone any swimming would be in store.

Tomorrow would be an overdue recovery day! NO driving except to lunch and Camping World and Walmart and maybe get the car washed... Afterall taxes need to be done, as well as vacuuming, showers, cleaning and prep for the finale.

Monday will be the penultimate day of driving if Theresa can locate a park with an open site :) otherwise it will be a Walmart or other parking lot.
