Getting Close to the end

Seems that all the lights go on in the Pensacola YMCA at 4:30 am and we had to vacate the Y by 8 am.  So we decided that we head to a coffee shop and hang out for a while.

WE only had a 30 mile ride so after the coffee house we headed to the Waffle House for breakfast.

The Waffle House has become the "Go To Breakfast Place" for the tour.    We stayed in another RV park last night.  And again Mother Nature had to remind us who is boss - overnight temperature dropped to 46 degrees.  All of us had to dig out our warm clothes again.  Damn this is Florida.

Today we had a 55 mile ride.  There was nothing of import to take photos of.  The ride has really be bust when it comes to things to take pictures of.  In any case every time we enter a new town in the South it seems that 2 miles before the town and 2 miles after the town there is always a Dollar General...

The Dollar General has (like the Waffle House) become our "go to place" to buy stuff we need but intend to throw away after the ride.  For example a shower curtain to place under our air mattress.  Sweatshirts that we needed for the unanticipated cold weather.  Cheap water bottles - as I keep losing them.  

The sad part is that in most towns this is the only store people can shop in.  Towns too small for a Walmart.

 Tonight we are staying in a different RV park - it's only for retired senior citizens.Going to be fun.  Seems the permanent residents are making us dinner and breakfast.  And after dinner we are expecting a concert.  

God knows what the concert is going to be like!

Tomorrow we start our last set of long rides.  Each of the next four days will have 70-80 mile routes.  

Praying for tailwinds.
