Although we gave some thought to hunkering down at Tom and Karen's, in the end we decided to "get that motor running" and head west with the motorhome and the car...after all, where would we live if something happened to the motorhome?
As you can see we weren't the only ones thinking the same way.... this is the evacuation traffic along US Hwy 60 West Wednesday morning. This photo was taken 2 miles east of the Florida Turnpike. The slow down here was generally because three lanes were merging into one. Cars off of the Turnpike also merging onto the 60 to get to Tampa. This two mile section took us about an hour to get by, but after the Turnpike entrance the traffic spaced out and carried on without an incident. We went as far as Branden and stayed at a Walmart along with many other RVs to wait out the storm. The parking lot at the Walmart in Bartow looked like an RV park!
We returned this morning to our RV park here in Vero Beach. All is good here, we have power as well as cable and internet!
It's as if nothing happened, except for a few downed tree limbs and the debris strewn all over our previously nice clean park.
Most of it has been clean up already and life will carry on.
Thanks for reading - life if good!!
