Vero Beach to Lake City, FL

,We left Sunshine Travel RV Resort this morning about 10:45. We stopped at the office and I dropped the card for the entrance gate in a box by the office door (the office is closed on weekends).

We got on I-95 north and stopped at a rest area near Mims at 12:15 to have lunch. The farther north we drove, the darker the clouds ahead got.

When we were near St. Augustine we ran into some rain and a lot of wind. Somewhere south of St. Augustine I noticed that the trim on the windshield


had come loose and was sticking out and was getting battered by the rain and wind.
Mike slowed down and that seemed to help some with the loose trim and we stopped at a rest area south of Jacksonville and Mike removed the trim. We had forgotten that a screw was missing from the trim and the wind and rain loosened some of the other screws. At least we didn't lose the trim!

By the time we got to Jacksonville, the rain had stopped. We took I-295 around Jacksonville and connected with I-10 west.

We saw these classic car being transported somewhere.

When we were about a half hour from our destination for tonight we saw dark clouds ahead

and a little late ran into some more hard rain.

By the time we reached Oaks 'N Pines RV Campground (257 miles from Vero Beach), the rain had stopped. Mike checked in at the office and then we were led to our campsite.

We are in site #55 with full hookups (50 amp). With our Passport America discount, our site is costing us $19.80 for the night. There is wi-fi service here, but the signal is weak. We used our Verizon service and even though it is 3g, we're not having any problems.
