Florida Adventure Day 3

Florida Arrival

Well, we had lots and lots of rain starting out this morning. All we could think was 'thank heaven it was rain and not snow or ice.' The rain came in waves - sometimes drizzle and other times near torrential. We were careful and got through all incoming rain and/or standing water. Luckily, we weren't anywhere near any flooding.

Finally, early afternoon, we began seeing hints of clearing and actually quite suddently, the thermometer began to rise and the clouds began to clear. It was awesome to watch. Then, there we were, in full sunshine and 75 degrees, wishing we had shorts on instead of jeans. At least we could shed the shweatshirts. The rest of the ride was like summer time and we arrived safely in Chiefland (southwest of Gainsville) this evening.

We won't be posting for this trip daily from here -- just wanted to post again tonight so all knew we've arrived safely at our destination for the next four days. We're already in touch with Jerry's retired firefighter folks so it should be great fun for him. We'll post sometime in the next few days. We won't rub in how nice it is here compared to what we're seeing going on weather wise 'up north.'

Rain, rain, go away
This was one of the lighter points that we could get to show up on pictures. At least it wasn't snow or sleet

Could it be?
It started looking like it was going to clear

Ah, yes...sun at last
It went to 75 degrees in a relatively short period of time

You bet we'll relax now that we're here!!
