The next morning I decided to work my way into the Florida Pan Handle. Wasn’t sure where I would go. As I stopped at a gas station just north of Chiefland their was a truck that had a sticker on it’s windshield that said “REDNECKTIFIED” with the rebel flag on each side of it. This amused me and I wanted to take a picture, but was concerned the owner might think I was making fun of him. Stan, our manatee tour guide said this area of the country is the last of the wild frontier and the locals I met around town seemed to verify that thought. I looked in the store and it appeared to me the owner of the truck could have been any of the 5 men in that store. As a result I started my truck and took a picture as I was driving from the gas station.
I ended up making it all the way to Panama City that night and spent the night in a Wal-Mart Parking lot. I had went to a campground earlier, but the cost was in the mid twenties and decided not to pay that much. I went
Worth Traveling 100 miles?
I looked down on my odometer and it said 5,500 miles. Wonder if it was worth traveling that far. It was very good. The pork was extremely fresh. I thoroughly enjoyed the meal but not sure I would travel 5,500 miles for.to a bar called Coyote Ugly Saloon, which was right by the Wal-Mart I was staying at for a few drinks before hitting the hay. Most of the Wal-Marts have 24 hour security so that makes me feel safe. I lock the camper shell from the inside with a ratching strap for added security. For somebody to get in, they will have to bust glass.

happy b'day Sunday 3-18
Frontier has disconnected our internet supplier's 800 number (eliminating their competition) so i am at Uncle Bernies getting caught up. I may have to cave and go to them-even though I don't like the way they can take someones business from them with no reason.
