We left Gainesville this morning right on schedule and once again the weather was perfect. Speaking of weather, I have been trying to keep track at what is happening back at home and it looks like it has rained almost everyday and the temperature has barely reached 60. Sorry about that guys.
Today we rode an upside down S-pattern turning southeast out of Gainesville then east, north, west, back north and eventually to the east to end up in Fernandina Beach. Toward the afternoon hours it was back to being a scorcher reaching 92 degrees, but as we approached the beach it cooled back down. I bet when we wake up in the morning it might be as low as 55 degrees here on the shore. We are located at the very top of A1A at the furthermost northeast corner of Florida and tomorrow we point due south trying to reach Vero Beach. Vero Beach should be about 250 miles south.
Old dummy here tried to take some video on the motorcycle today, but the memory chip was full, so that was a bust. I will attempt to get some video of the drive on A1A tomorrow to make sure that I'm ready for the Key West bridge. We should arrive in Key West in just a couple more days.
Tonight for dinner we went out to a local restaurant with Martin and Mary Crane. They moved away from the Winchester area last September and getting to see them again was fun. The Crane's just had a baby boy 4 months ago and what happy baby he was. That was until he got hungry, then he was letting it be known. Did I mention Lori and I are empty nesters and now we know why we like it. Ah the joy's of parenthood. After dinner the Crane's took us down to Amelia Island to walk and have a little ice cream. There are some really old buildings here and I took a picture of a very pretty sunset off of one of the piers.
Some details of the pictures for the day, just wanted to show you just how much crap we are cramming into the trailer, Nice sunset shot, and a shot down an historic street on Amelia Island.
Today’s mileage = 306
