Newport to Perry, FL
42 miles
For one thing, how did it get to be Friday again so soon?
Today was a pretty quick day. There was not much to stop at between Newport and Perry, so I just kept going. It wasn’t totally desolate, like I’d been warned. There were boat ramps and mining facilities and hunting club properties, and a few wildlife management area picnic groves. I stopped at one of those for an extended snack and rest.
In Perry, I stocked up on groceries, finally succeeding in finding macaroni and cheese at the Winn-Dixie deli. Yay! Then I cruised into the Perry KOA around 2:30, which is a pretty early day for me. I did yoga, swam in the pool, soaked in the hot tub, and sat inside the clubhouse to use the internet in a mosquito-free environment. Lovely!
I think I’ve got a route figured out to make it all the way to St. Petersburg before my dad leaves his house. We’ll see how it goes!
