Dear Family,
Now @ the Jacksonville Airport waiting to head north and real civilization -- the 1st in 5 weeks -- which really went amazingly fast.
We stayed at a Church in the Jacksonville area last night (traffic was horrendous coming into town yesterday afternoon, compounded by the fact that we covered 107 miles yesterday starting from the Swanee River Campground.)
Bkfst was at 8 A.M. today, hot cereal & Belgian waffles, w/ a choice of 4 kinds of fruit. We got to the Atlantic before noon, so we did make it coast to coast. A # of people have asked us where we started from & then reaction is "You must be kidding." Just goes to show that a lot of small steps can cover lots of ground.
The last 1/2 of the trip has been more of a vacation, more vegetation & water to look at & begin to realize that I was going to make it. Also by that time one begins to know the different people & it became more family like. Just learning about these people was an education. In Florida we were on the De Soto trail, who came thru here in 1539, & also visited the site of the largest battle of the Civil War.
[Love, etc. from Dad]
