July 16th

I checked the reservation for a condo I have in Lehigh Acres, Florida and realized that I did not have to check in until the next day. That was good news since that gave me an extra day to fool around in the panhandle of Florida.
I got going on Hwy 98 along the coast which is the Panhandle Scenic byway and just followed it all day long. It was nice to see some of Florida’s white sand beaches and I really enjoyed piddling around. Of course the rain was a bit of a problem as a rain storm came along about once an hour. It did make for some cool weather but once the rain stopped the temperature and the humidity shot sky high. And then I was just soggy. But it wasn’t long before I was wet again so it really did not matter. All in all it was a nice slow day of riding when the rain wasn’t pounding me.
Since the weather was so bad I did not take a lot of pictures and about mid afternoon I had had enough and I called it an early day.
