Wednesday, November 12, Day 70 (wow! day 70!) - travel day, not much to report.
We left the Walmart lot in Callaway, FL, this morning and headed north, back to I-10. After seeing what travel was like going down Rte. 98 along the Gulf Coast, we decided to opt for speed, rather than scenery. One thing we have found out during our trip is that, whenever we arrive at a destination after dark, we are far better off staying at a local Walmart than trying to get into a campground. Last night was only the 2nd time we arrived at our destination after dark. This time, it was the delays along Rte. 98 (lights, traffic, unfamiliarity with area) which caused us to arrive later than expected. The campground we had selected, another Passport America campground, in Mexico Beach, FL, was about a mile off of Rte. 98, in a wooded setting, and the sites were on very soft sand, even though we were almost 1-1/2 miles from any beach. So, rather than having another near-disaster here, we opted to go to Walmart.
Anyway, tonight, we are in Ocala, FL, in another Passport America campground. We arrived here before 4:20PM, and in daylight. This campground is quite nice - small, but nice, with grassy sites and paved roads. We have full-hookups AND cable TV!, all for $17.50/night! We are about 95 miles north of Tampa, FL, where we will be tomorrow noon. If all goes well, we will head over to Port St. Lucie tomorrow afternoon. If not, we will head over on Friday morning.
Be sure to check back tomorrow to find out what happens!
Sorry to say, there are NO PICTURES today.

Hi Chuck and Kathy, Deara and I have enjoyed your blog very much! Deara is a couple of days behind reading your blog though. Even though we also visited Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon in October, we felt as though we were with you on your "honeymoon"! The pics were great and Deara has some of the same pics that you took (she took over 10,000 on our trip)! I spoke with Judi today and she wanted tome to say HI to you both. See you soon, Rick and Deara
Hi Chuck & Kathy,
