Our Hero began his day with excitement, knowing it was coming. He has now reached THE state! That’s right, he passed into Florida, Dear Readers:

Woo Hoo! He rode forty-eight miles today and, with the hills he hit, gained 1,605 feet in elevation! But the ride was a rough one. Art has breathing issues he deals with, and there was a fire in the area, so he rode through a smoky haze. It’s hard to see in the photo, but it’s there in the distance:

To top it off, there were hills:

A rough day for him, but that evening, he and Cindy visited the Tallahassee Temple and spent the weekend seeing their granddaughter in Florida!
Jay and I arrived in Pennsylvania on Thursday to settle into our campsite, and on Friday, we visited my brother and his wife! I hadn’t seen him for around seven years, so it was a wonderful visit, and we LOVE Pennsylvania! What a beautiful state. I did not take any photos at this visit, as I’ll save that for when I get to see my nieces and their children – all grown to teen or college age. I’m so excited!
This is our rig in our spot:
