May 16

Today was a travel day. We departed Melbourne, Florida at around 8:30am and didn’t stop rolling until around noon just across the Florida/Georgia border some 200 miles later. We would make one other stop before rolling into Augusta at 4:30pm.

We traveled a total of about 430 miles today and the weather, although clear, was a tad warm at 90 degrees. We saw plenty of motorcycles traveling south down 95 but didn’t see one traveling north for the 375 miles we were on the interstates today. Hmmm, I wonder if they knew something we didn’t.

We did however see plenty of out-of-state travelers. The 14 traveler states we saw today (not counting Florida and Georgia) included: Virginia (not including us), North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Kentucky, New Jersey, Arizona, New York, Illinois, and Ontario.

As we skirted around Jacksonville, we crossed a cool looking bridge.

Michele also took a picture of this strange looking structure. Do you know what it is?

But for today’s picture of the day we chose a hot pink classic Ford that we saw on our second stop of the day (I'm sure some of you car guys will know what it is). We were at a Liberty station just off of US25 at the intersection of 2 Chop Road (near Portal, GA). The car sounded pretty good too!

Tomorrow will be a short travel day (about 200 miles) to Cherokee, NC. The weather looks like we’ll be dodging scattered thunderstorms tomorrow but Tuesday and Wednesday are looking good for our Great Smoky Mountain National Park visit.
