TS4-2 Hop 7
Notice that Google gave me an alternate route down US 301, US 98, US 17 and FL 31. I almost took it because it was the best route, 20 miles shorter and 10 minutes faster, when I looked before breakfast. But after breakfast I-75 was, once again, the fastest route, by over 30 minutes. I am always amazed at how quickly the route can change due to traffic conditions. Google maps is smart enough to not only update the route when an accident is detected but is very good at estimating the length of the delay. Someday I will have to figure out how they do it.
This was an easy hop over roads that we have traveled many times. The weather was bright and sunny (hey, it’s Florida, what else would you expect), but very warm – 90ish. And no A/C. So we kept the windows open. Rusty seemed to enjoy the breeze.
We did the first 175 miles non-stop, then pulled into a Love’s truck stop to change. My shirt was soaked. We then drove the final 3 miles to our new home park, the Cypress Trail RV Resort. They were expecting us and gave us gate badges and a modem at the gate. The modem surprised me. Apparently one of the perks of ownership is free internet service. Loved the place when we bought it, love it even more now.
We got set up quickly and in the first 30 minutes on site met our neighbors to the west and were invited to a huge party thrown by a guy across the lake. Rusty also met a beagle at his new dog park
A good start.
