Well, we are off. Left at 11:30 and made it around the inside corner of Florida. Through cattle/cow country. Saw 3 large herds of goats. Don't know if they are herds??? Don't know if they are goat farms or ranches either. Don't know why they are all gathered in this one area just a few miles apart either.
Anyway, also saw and smelled harvesting of pine trees. Not a good smell. We saw the equipment that removes all the limbs from the trees and then lifts the logs onto the trailer truck. Perry is forest capitol of FL. On the 38 miles between Perry and Newport we had 36 cars pass us headed the opposite direction. No one ahead or us or behind us the entire way. Beautiful wild flowers along the road which is at the edge of a national wildlife refuge. The animals must be really safe- we didn't even see a bird!
So spending the night in a really nice rv park-county owned on the edge of Newport. Raining again. Had several isolated episodes of hard downpours and wind throughout the day.
