Last night Kathie was checking the weather and a number of Mardi Gras events in New Orleans were cancelled today (if today is Saturday - I lost track again) because of a severe weather system that is hitting Texas to Florida and north. The track of the storm included the Tallahassee area. The last time we were in this situation we stayed put and got whacked by Hurricane Irene. So we didn't want to stay put this time.
At one of our rest stops we checked the maps and our iPad app AllStays and followed the advice from Anne and Ray (and Ken's advice to get off the interstates) and turned south to Cedar Key of the west side of Florida. The storm has a much smaller chance of hitting here. It was a longer drive than we had planned and we lost another hour to the time change but we are camped on the beach at an RV park that could be in the middle of the Okanagan (tight spaces). We got a spot for two nights - that was all they had and then we are moving south again.
When we phoned to see if they had room the owner said leave room for ribs and pulled pork. They have a restaurant here and the ribs were excellent and James really liked the pulled pork. The cost was very reasonable and the food was better than most of the meals we have this trip costing 3-4 times as much.
Most of the people here are here from the northeast US - Michigan mostly. If you want to check out the weather here, click on the link below:
It is warm today (great day - sandals and shorts).
