Trying something a little different this trip.


Trying something a little different this trip

Well, we're going to try something a little different this trip. I'm going add a link to a map below that will let you see where we are when you click on the link. I just have to remember to start the tracking app for this to work. Check back to see if it works for you and let us know. If it doesn't, I'll delete this post. If I've forgot to start the app all you will get is the blank blue screen. If I remember to start it up you should see a map with one red marker showing our present location. Click "Show Route" and you should see several little red dots showing our route from where we started to our present location. Mouse over the red dots and it should tell you the time and speed we're traveling and some other info like latitude & longitude. You can zoom in and see exactly where we are on the road. It updates every 30 seconds, but you might have to refresh your browser if the route disconnects for some reason. You can view in Map View or Satellite View. For some reason the buttons for show/hide route won't show on an IPad. When you first go to the page it takes a little while for the route to show.

Thursday Post

Sorry for not posting last night but we had internet problems,  Things seem to be working this morning,

THURSDAY HAPPENINGS:  Anyway, we tried to rest a little today and didn't get started until about 10:00 am. We headed to Dade City to MadStad Engineering, where I had purchased our new windscreen, to swap out to a shorter version. Mark, the owner, wasn't in, but they had our new windscreen waiting for us, as promised. One of his employees met us as we pulled into the lot and immediately started the change out to the new windscreen. These guys are great to work with and really build a great windscreen. Everything is manufactured in house, so at least you know where it comes from. Below are a couple of pics with the old windscreen and I'll post pics of the new one tonight.

From there we went back north to Summerfield to visit some friends that are spending the winter down here. You might remember them, Dale & Karin, as our tour guides from our trip a couple of years ago to the Balloon Festival in Albuquerque. Dale has now retired and they are living the good life, RVing around to different parts of the country, but wintering in Florida. After wearing out our welcome with Dale & Karin we hit the road again. We stopped at a roadside fruit stand and bought a big bag of fresh Florida grapefruits & oranges. I sure hope they are as good as the ones they had cut up for samples.

We made our way to Zephyrhills, where we already had a room reserved. Coming into Zephyrhills, I made the comment to Pam that all these rolling hills sure were pretty, and in her smart tone, she say's "Do you think that might be why they call it Zephyrhills"? She makes me sooooo mad some times. LOL

Today we kinda laid in for a while, one of us more than the other. We're off to Sebring today to visit more Snowbirds from Chapter M for lunch at the Golden Corral.
