Day 10

We woke up to the smell of freshly brewed coffee & scrambled eggs. Are you serious?

We said, “Hasta” & hit the road. We weren’t on the road for 3 minutes before we saw a sign for the naval aviation museum. We had to go. Place was soo cool & free. Score. Got talked into going to the IMAX. Show was about Fighter jets... I get motion sickness just watching. Shane grinned the whole time.

Drove east across the brunt of Florida...But, stopped in Tallahassee to hitup: Boston Market, Wells Fargo, & Best Buy. Best $5 meal ever, Man we're going through money somehow (Ya'll see our Donate Button), & Shane bought a legit Canon.
Made it as far as Mixon. Looked around for a place to watch game 4. Most of the bars had no TV's...what the hell. Eventually found a place called DD's.

The entire "bar" was just a big shed. 15 foot by 15 foot at best. In one corner they had a homemade karaoke setup which was continuously man'd by someone screeching out one country "tune" after another. Despite the environment, the game was fun to watch & we met a local who told us about a riverside campsite.

Made it to the "campsite only to find a boat launch & a couple picnic tables, and three signs which read "NO Camping Allowed". It was midnight & pitch black. We looked at each other & said, "What the hell. We pitched the tents & tried to sleep.

However, every 5 minutes or so a car would drive out to this ultra remote boat launch and idle around for awhile.. what the hell (again). Scared we'd be kicked out ,we just lie there saying,"Please Lord!" This went on until about 1. Fitfully sleep till first light. Woke to find ourselves in the middle of the swamp, we searched the riverbank for gators.. things are harder to find than you'd think.
