Florida High Point?

5/1/13       

        Showers, a quick break of camp and east we went. A short drive, about one hour, seemed too short, we arrived at Dog River and Alabama's low point on the coast.

         Several photos recorded our presence. Within five minutes we moved on, east towards the Florida high point.

          Clouds blocked the sun, dropped rain along our way to Lakewood Park at 345 feet, Florida high point. After pictures and a break for deli-meat sandwiches, we felt ready for the Atlantic Ocean on the Georgia coast.

        We crossed the Choctwhatchee River, the Apalachicola, then the Ochlocknee. Drove on, stopped for gas, passed the Suwannee River and still had many miles through Florida to travel.

         Set our sights on southern Georgia for the night and found a KOA campground. Overcast sky and gusts of wind threatened rain. Canned chili, instant rice and spicy peppers complimented our cold beer for dinner in pre-twilight. We headed to the campground's Game Room to watch TV.

          
        We logged 538 miles.

         Low points - six; high points - two.
