Okay – I’m lucky again – VERY LUCKY in fact. You can see how close Milton is to Pensacola (less than 20 miles away). Pensacola had TWENTY-TWO inches of rain in two days; that started right after I left town. Hopefully that kind of thing won’t continue in my wake….
Started out this morning in the rain gear; which of course means that I didn’t need it. There was a little bit of drizzle to start with but 80 miles down the road, at my first gas stop, I was happily out of the plastic clothing. The only way to get almost 450 miles down the road and not spend all day doing it is to take the Interstate. Up on the slab there isn’t a whole lot to see and even if you do see something photo worthy – you can’t get the camera out in time.
Sumter, SC is very close to Shaw Air Force Base. The road I was on goes right past the departure end of the runway. I did see the F-16 low approach coming but was still a little startled at the amount of noise one of those things makes. That’s okay though, like I always say, “That’s the sound of freedom”. I still get a chill when I hear those military jets. So, I leave you with this – enjoy your freedom and don’t take it for granted.
Can’t think of a better way to embrace/celebrate that freedom than as you are on the open road! Keep on making that good luck my friend!
