We stayed long enough to see Geremy compete in three bicycle races. One was in Wylie where he placed 3rd in his category. The two races in Cedar Hill State Park were Category 4 and 5 combined so its hard to tell how he finished if it had been just a Category 5 race, but we think he might have won that one if it had been a strickly Category 5.
We left on Monday, February 11 and were in rain before we hit the Louisiana state line. And rain it do for the next 2 days. Lots of rain. We got on the Natchez Trace Parkway in Natchez and drove about 100 miles before we made a decision to head towards Huntsville, Alabama to the US Space and Rocket Center. Spent 2 nights at their campground and toured the center. Interesting, but overpriced. And it was cold - still.
We needed to warm up! Headed south towards the coast. Finally landed in Pensacola and toured the Naval Aviation Museum on the Navy Base. This was much more fun than Huntsville. And the price was right - FREE! We spent our money on one of their IMAX movies about the Blue Angels.
Its hard to make reservations at places you know nothing about. I erred in making one for 2 nights just north of Tampa. Its a jungle out there! We were not comfortable in a jungle environment. It was on a river which was great, but that was all it had going for it. We had very very little cell coverage. You had to be right on the river to pick up anything.
We are not south of Tampa in Ruskin, Florida. A great little campground. A lot of winter campers and some living full time here. A bit crowded for our taste, but we are very close to a new RC field where Gerry can fly for the week while I am gone to Surprise.
