A Shorter Day!
After a lengthy sleep, we were underway at 0930. The truck ran fine and the new alternator was doing its thing. As we made our way further south, the temperature began to rise. When we stopped for lunch, it was shirt sleeve weather. After lunch, it was warm enough to require the AC to be turned on. At around 1430, we checked our progress and found we would be going through Jacksonville right during rush hour. Rather than press on to Stuart, we decided to stay at Crooked River State Park, one of our frequently used migration stops.

We were set up in our site by 1530 hours and headed down one of the trails. The mile long trail provided nice views of the river.

We took the truck into town to fill up with fuel. We ate at Bessie's, right on the waterfront. The shrimp platter was very nice and quite the deal at only $8.00.

Back at the park, we took another walk before boarding SUNSHINE for the evening.

In two days, we have driven about 900 miles in about 30 hours.
