Day 7: Crestview Florida 68 miles


The weather continues to be good so we keep on pedaling.  There was no risk of taking a wrong turn today since we stayed on highway 90. Is mostly a 2 Lane Hwy with a good shoulder.
We enjoyed looking at signs. Some of the names are very interesting.


we had our second breakfast at a convenience store.  we bought coffee and eight from our "stash".
We had pizza and salad for lunch and then later stopped at a roadside stand for a treat. They advertised fresh pie. The two choices they had were sweet potato pie and Kool-Aid pie. You could only buy the whole pies so We had to pass. We did have a cup of their homemade chocolate ice cream.
Last night we rode over 2 miles out of our way to get a motel by the I-10. That adds up to over 4 miles off route. tonight we are staying in a cheap motel on route.

It is predicted to be 26° here tomorrow morning!! It does warm up fast (high of 56). Our route takes us to Pensacola Florida tomorrow. That will probably be our last day in Florida.

Sounds like you're getting fueled well...interesting pie flavor options...you must de-layer often with the weather variants

I've tracked you on the map and it is hard to believe that you have made it all the way across Florida. Wow that is an accomplishment...now on to Texas!

How do you signal Ron to pull over when you want to take those signage pictures! LOL

Which would have chosen Kool-aid or sweet potato. I have heard of Sweet potato but never Kool-aid. Maybe they sell them whole in case it tastes bad.
