633 miles via GA 92, I-75 and FL 80 with two refueling stops, a bio break and 3 hours at the Hard Rock Casino and nearby Waffle House in Tampa. Miles since the end of Hop 4: 643. Cumulative route miles: 1,790. Total TS9 miles: 1,865. The extra hop miles were due to a final refueling at the end of the trip.
This was an easy trip on familiar roads. I won $96 at the casino, but Marlene lost about that much, so call it “free entertainment.” But it was a VERY long day: 14 hours door-to-door. We got home at midnight.
We stayed for two nights in Acworth with Marlene’s son, Tim, and wife Rachel. It was a quiet, family time.
This ends the TS9. Wrapup soon.
