I traveled about 28 miles today.
I really enjoyed the 9 miles of walking through the wildlife area. Saw a handful of deer and plenty of birds at first light. After that, the picture describes the rest of my day. After about 14 miles of that, a couple fishermen offered me a ride to town. That's how the last few miles went so fast on my track. They were nice old boys and we got to chat about fishing a bit. Once I got to St. Cloud, I walked 5 more miles looking for a hotel with room and wound up here at the Riviera. It sounds better than it is, but it's a cheap place to stay where the only 'campground' doesn't allow tents and is actually a retirement place. Tomorrow (later today I guess since I just woke up to post this) will be more road taking me out of town. Oh, I did see one alligator today - about 15 feet from me in the water by the road. Yikes.
