Kissimmee, FL to Lake City, FL

We left Mill Creek RV Resort this morning a little after 10:00. We retraced our route back north on the Florida Turnpike (paid another $10.50 in tolls on the turnpike) and I-75.

We stopped at a rest area on I-75 south of Ocala for lunch. We decided to get off I-75 at exit 414 and take US 441 north through Lake City to Oaks 'N Pines RV Park our destination for tonight.

When we got into Lake City we found out that a part of US 441 was being repaired and we had to take a detour on US 41 for several blocks before getting back on US 441. Check-in at Oaks 'N Pines is 2 p.m. and we arrived at 2:06. We're in site #48, a pull-through, with full hookups (50 amp). We're staying here under Passport America. This is the third time we've stayed here when passing through the area.

I'm using Microsoft Streets & Trips 2009 and Delorme Street Atlas 2009 with the Delorme gps on my laptop. This morning both Streets & Trips and Street Atlas lost the gps signal after we had been on the road for about an hour. I had to restart the laptop and then the gps and software worked fine. Sometime after lunch (I shut the computer down while we were stopped) Streets & Trips lost the gps signal, but Street Atlas was working fine.

I've made some changes in the Delorme Serial Emulator software and will find out tomorrow if it fixes the problem with Streets & Trips.

We're leaving Florida just in time - the love bugs are starting to appear. Mike washed the love bugs off the front of the RV this evening. We had a few on our drive down from Dothan 2 weeks ago, but not to the extent we had today. Hopefully, we will stay ahead of the worst of them as we go north.
