Nov 21 Its a freezing cold start again today and its quite a chore to get out of the tent and wrap it up. I get well wrapped up for the journey and am instantly dismayed when the mysterious rasping noise from the trailer comes back worse and more persistent than ever. The culprit turns out to be my flag pole which I extract every night , has been shoved in too deep and was rasping against the wheel, thank god for that , I thought that I was damaging the trailer. I am on the coast today passing through Perdido Key , Gulf Beach and then through the thickly wooded Sorrento Road which gives good cover against the chill wind.
It is not long before I am in Pensacola where I have decided to take a day off , the first since Opelusa. One good thing about the bigger towns is that there are clusters of motels, which seems to drive the price down. The owners are also open to negotiation and will usualy take $10 lower than their opening gambit. By visiting a few I am able to secure a room with cable internet fridge and micro for $35
only $7 more than I paid to pitch my tent last night.
