I traveled about 6 miles today.
Yes, just 6 miles today. Severe weather was forecast for this morning so I spent the night in an old hotel in Clewiston. Good choice. The weather was bad with intense rain, high wind, and tornado warnings. It all blew through by 10 am. I met up with my hiking buddy, Bennett, and we did a couple hours along the levee around Lake Okeechobee to an open camp space called Liberty Point where we're resting now. The wind remained strong all day, but it was nice and sunny. Just a half mile farther is a place called Uncle Joe's fish camp. Since we had so much daylight left, we walked there to check it out. Quite a dive! The reason we did such a short day is that tomorrow has a very long road walk with no place to camp because of this conduction on the levee. We didn't want to get stuck in that and plan to do it all tomorrow. Well, the wind has stopped, the sun set, and the mosquitos are swarming around my safe but tiny bug shelter so I'll say 'Good Night'.
