Cross Country Tour – Day 49

16 October 2016

I hate goodbyes and especially to good friends.  I tried to get Joe to go with me but he wasn’t having any of it.  Smart dog to stay with Stephanie.

The trip from Greenville, Florida was about 7 1/2 hours drive time, first via I-10, then I-75, then the turnpike.  Later, around Jupiter, Florida, the GPS shuttled me off to I-95 and I and I appreciated it.  The turnpike was getting some rain and people were stopping dead in the rain and blocking traffic.  You would think Floridians would know how to drive in the rain since we get 50 inches a year.

I stopped at the local Publix to get milk and other things for breakfast the next day and then pulled into the driveway with the trip odometer reading 11, 090 miles for the entire trip.  I’ll certainly need my next 10,000 mile checkup on Wednesday (assuming I don’t get picked for a jury on Tuesday).

Below is a summary of my hikes.  I did over 64 miles of trails and cumulatively climbed 8, 896 feet (and it felt like it).  Thanks to Robert Buford, I found out I was not 66 years old but 67, so I’m even more impressed since I’m older than I thought.

I’ve learned that 6 miles is pretty much my limit with a full size pack.  I’ve also learned that every time you think the rest of the trail is downhill, it isn’t.  I don’t like public campgrounds (national or state) because the people generally are there to party, not camp.  You are not necessarily any better off if you go primitive and have to hike into the campsite because some people just don’t get it.

Even with the above complaints, this was a wonder trip.  I will eventually post some albums of the trip on my personal website (see the link at the top right of the page) along with some videos.

Thanks for following my blog.  I hope I wasn’t too boring.
