We rode almost 60 miles from Marianna, FL to Midway, FL today, through rolling farmlands and marshes. We crossed into Eastern Time Zone today just before Chatahoochee. The time zone runs down the Georgia Alabama border and then crosses Florida at the Appalachacola River. Some of the group popped into Georgia, just over the border from Chatahoochee. We are staying about 15 miles west of Tallahassee. We ranged from about 75 feet of elevation to nearly 300 feet today, with a couple of unexpected 150 foot climbs. We are staying at a motel tonight, Howard Johnsons, and the air conditioning is nice!
There are five days to go until the Atlantic.
ps. Phil sold his tent (new before the trip) to Janet (whose husband and son are joining us for the last three days) and stated "I never want to see that tent again..." so he is flying home a bit lighter. He also bequeathed his folding captain's chair to Jerry, who will use it going back west on his return transam route. I have a few items that should be burned or trashed at the end of the trip also.
