| Birds on the drainage canal at Pecan Park RV Resort, Jacksonville |
We've had a nice trip so far and a good stopover here in Jacksonville, Florida. We had evening stops at Roanoke Rapids, NC and Walterboro, SC before arriving Sunday evening here in Jacksonville. We try to put in some slack time in any trip where we have definite reservations to allow for any emergency repairs. Turns out I was the "emergency" this time. I broke a tooth sometime Thanksgiving evening and no dentist offices were open until we got here. No pain, but there's a new little dagger back by my right molar that I want checked out (and destroys any dental floss that I put back there). After a round of x-rays and a quick check, that dagger is what's left of a front corner of my crown over the molar. No leakage, so the sharp edge is shaved a little and dental appointments are made to get it replaced when we arrive at Gulf Shores for our winter stay. A good ending for a Monday, if you ask me.

| Jacksonville-Baldwin Bike Trail |
This past weekend's cold front came through here Monday afternoon. Tuesday started off sunny with a cool 46 degrees. After a quick trip to a local truck wash to rinse off the truck, we struck out for the Jacksonville-Baldwin bicycle trail. It's 14+ miles of pave path along a railroad bed that runs between Jacksonville and Baldwin. We managed to make it from the east entrance to the 10 mile marker (10 miles one way for you guys that think we just did the shorter, 4+ mile stretch) before turning around.
Seemed pretty flat going out. Wasn't flat coming back! Too much exercise for a guy my age! Anyway, we survived and celebrated by using our Cracker Barrell gift card Frank & Beth gave us.
So we're back at the trailer this evening recuperating. Bikes are back on the rack, laundry is done, and we're (more or less) ready to travel to Fort Wilderness at Walt Disney World. Wish us luck - backing into those campsites at Fort Wilderness tomorrow is going to be a bear. There's no straight lines at Disney. So there's no straight roads in the campground. And that means we'll be unable to get the truck straight in front of the trailer before backing. And usually, the bend is such that the truck is angled the wrong way. You guys in Class A's wouldn't have that problem! I know, I know - tough, tough life of a full-time RVer!
Later, David
