<\/a><\/span><\/span>I left home on 11\/11\/23 and just got back home on 3\/14\/24, 124 nites on the road. Things went smoothly and I did a lot on biking-850 miles and 120 miles\u00a0of kayaking .<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span>I visited with many friends along the way. You can read about the trip in Chronological Order, Click link\u00a0Florida Trip 2023-24<\/a><\/div>\n

When I got to my last campground, Ocean Pond, the previous day’s heavy rain made some of the sandy roads that I ride on a little soft but I was still able to bike another 28 miles in two rides around the Lake and through the Olustee Civil War Battlefield.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n

I like to stop at Ocean Pond before heading for home so that I can pick two sunny days to drive home. The travel window this year was a little tight but as long as I could get an early start and make good time I could beat the storms that were coming to Ohio on late Thursday.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

I got a 7 am start both days and only lost about 20 minutes going through Charlotte, so my first day’s 560 mile trip took me 10-1\/2 hours and I got to Wytheville, VA.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

On Thursday I made the 390 mile trip home in 6-1\/2 hours. It was sunny and no rain but two hours after I got back there were thunderstorms and tornadoes in central Ohio.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

Friday was warm to I could wash the winter grime off my RV and got a good start unpacking, especially when my daughter Joan stopped by to help.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Of course it\u00a0<\/span>now\u00a0<\/span>looks like the next 3 weeks here will be cooler than normal. No complaints, it was a nice winter and I was able to do all the things I planned and got in a lot of Cardiac Rehab again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
I enjoyed all the nice campgrounds and for the entire trip the average camping cost per night was less than $18.<\/span><\/div>\n
