Friday February 16th 2018

In was a warm night. It only got down into the sixties. The humidity this morning was high. Packing up to travel was a wet activity because I was perspiring heavily even though the temperature had only gotten into the 70s. I got on the road at ten for a planned four and a half to five mile trip to Milton Florida.

View out my front windshield in Mississippi. The road surface in Mississippi was much improved from the rough concrete in Louisiana.

The view inside my motor home as I go down the road. The radio and GPS on the far right, the rear view camera monitor left of the GPS. The towed vehicle auxiliary brake monitor and control above the rear view monitor. My cell phone is on the top of the dash in a holder. It provides streaming radio and music via blue tooth and is the easiest clock to see. All of the displays are hard to see with sunglasses on.

I made two stops along the way. The first was in Mississippi for gas and the second was at the Alabama Welcome Center for a rest stop. The fuel stop was longer than normal. I had to wait for the motor home in front of me to fuel up. The rest stop was just a couple of minutes, but before I got out of Alabama I had a much longer stop. An accident on Interstate 10 just before the Florida line had traffic completely stopped. For almost an hour traffic was either completely stopped or moving slower than walking pace. Two flatbed tow trucks went by toward the accident site, but by the time the traffic was moving again all evidence of an accident was gone. I have no idea where it was or what happened.

View to the front during the traffic stoppage on Interstate 10. It was next to impossible to see what was going on up the road.

View behind me as seen in the drivers side rear view mirror.

I crossed back into Florida around 3PM and arrived at the Milton Gulf Pines KOA just before four in the after noon. So the trip took about an hour longer than I had anticipated. It was still very humid and the temperature was in the mid 80s. Getting setup was another perspiration filled experience.
