Day 10 - Fort Myers

Wednesday after a good breakfast at camp, we departed around 9:30 for Fort Myers. I spent some time the night before laying out a route that mostly avoided the major interstates. We wanted to see our good friends, Liz and John, and at the same time see a bit more of Florida. It was a pretty uneventful ride and maybe it is the season but frankly there is not much scenic about interior Florida. We did pass through some towns with strong aroma of citrus and then we would see a big processing plant with trucks just heaped with lemons. The ride did not take as long as I expected, most of the Florida non interstate roads are straight and flat with speed limits of 60+. We arrived at John and Liz's around 1:30 PM so the 230 mile trip took just over 4 hours, not bad.

It was great to see our once Vermonters friends and catch up.

Liz even baked me some fruitcake. Liz and I are about the last two on the planet that really love fruitcake. Liz's Mom made it for years and passed on the recipe to Liz. It is some mighty find fruitcake.


We pretty much chillaxed the rest of the afternoon, which is what we hoped we would do.


















Today we will make our way back to Daytona, I haven't decide what route we will take, it is always an adventure.
