I normally put 100 or so miles on the bike before I have anything to eat but the free breakfast at the hotel was tempting enough to check out. The biscuits and gravy weren’t the greatest but they were certainly good enough. I stopped off in Biloxi at Keesler AFB and got off a couple shots of the west gate area before I was once again under the scrutiny of law enforcement. Apparently you aren’t supposed to take pictures of the gate area. I did get to keep the pictures – he just had to write me in his little book.
Stopped off in Alabama at the battle ship and would have gone inside but the lady at the toll booth said it was going to be raining all over Florida all day tomorrow so I figured I’d just take a couple pictures and start putting asphalt behind me.
I pulled off the Interstate near Milton to see a friend if he was around. I couldn’t get ahold of him but left a message and “shaded up” for a little rest by the Blackwater River. I stayed on Highway 90 for a little while but it was just too hot to be going that slow and stopping for stop lights along the way; so, back on the Interstate for awhile. A few miles outside Tallahassee I stopped at a rest area and consulted a map. I decided to try another state route and actually found a good one. It could have had a faster speed limit but there was virtually nobody else on the road and that suited me just fine.
I’m currently holed up in Perry, Florida and will be leaving in the morning for Rockledge, Florida. It’s less than 300 miles and I think I’ve got a route already so I should be there in plenty of time for dinner – even if it’s the early bird special (hint hint). New pictures at Pix 3.
