I traveled about 24 miles today.
Nothing but road today. I think this guy has the right idea, but he is really hard to see! A guy doing some surveying on the road hollered at me, 'I like your hat! ' as I walked by. I got to walk down the Old Tampa Highway and it was made of bricks for a couple miles. I saw a live baby alligator and two dead snakes. At the end my day, I met Jon at the Ramada Inn front desk. He was friendly and curious about my hiking gear and where I had hiked. It was nice talking with him. 20 more miles of road tomorrow before I reach the Green Swamp. There's also supposed to be rain and lightning quite a bit tomorrow. Oh, my spot tracker ran out of batteries today so there will be a long gap in tick marks starting tomorrow.
