Day 8

 Travel day!  We covered 440 miles today, driving from Fort Mountain State Park campground in Georgia to Indian Pass, Florida.   After waking up early to chilly 39° temperatures, we were on the road by 7:05 AM. Our early departure gained us a foggy morning and very slow driving, but it also treated us to a spectacular Easter morning sunrise.   

The rest of our drive was uneventful; minimal traffic, especially through Atlanta.   As we approached the Florida border, the devastation from Hurricane Michael became more and more apparent.  Thousands and thousands of downed trees, and small town after small town with homes still covered in blue tarps.  As we approached the coast, the devastation became greater and greater; it looks like a war zone.  We arrived at my sister and her husband’s rental in Indian Pass around 4:30 PM.  It was sunny and a warm 73°; great to be here and reconnect with Wendy and Carl who we had not seen since October.
