Day 1-May 26, 2016-Starting out

This is the seventh year in a row we've decided to take a trip across the USA.  There are still a lot of places we haven't seen and a few we'd really like to return to.  So, here we go.  Please wish us a safe and happy trip.  Hope you enjoy reading about our travels.

Drove 270 miles in 5-1/4 hours.  Temp is up to 91 but low humidity and very comfortable. Took route 19/27, through small towns such as Perry, where we pulled over for lunch.  Pretty patches of wild flowers, red and yellow on the side of the road and in the medians.  Not much traffic but a lot of logging trucks with pine tree trunks on them and we passed a lot of clear cut acreage.  Looks like a lot of pine forests have been eliminated.  Got on to I-10 and stopped in Chipley at Falling Waters State Park campground, a small, quiet campground in the woods.  Read for a while, had dinner and then a nice campfire.  We entered Central Time zone so we gained an hour.
