Many of you have expressed concern about Hurricane Sally and our trip. She is definitely wreaking havoc on my well made schedule. But we are aware of it and are figuring out what to do. We talked to people in the first four places that we are scheduled to stay and they all said that they are not worried because the Hurricane is not supposed to effect them, besides rain. Obviously the path can change and we plan to stay on top of that. But as of now we plan to stay on our original route through Wednesday. We are most likely not going to Defuniak Springs, Pensacola or Mobile which will probably affect the rest of the route for the first 2 weeks. Some of the rangers we have talked with here say that it may still be possible for us to continue on our route if we stay an extra day in Tallahassee or Chatahoochee. We will probably be deciding day by day. Right now Bruce is riding from Madison, FL to Monticello in light rain. He says it doesn’t bother him too much because it’s warm. Thanks for the concern. Definitely keep us in your prayers!
In case you’re wondering about “watch the weather”, here’s the scoop. When our daughter, Caroline, was little, she hated rain and bad weather. On stormy nights after we had tucked her in, we’d be sitting out watching TV and we’d hear her little voice say, “watch the weather!”
**update 8PM We have been told that the weather west of Tallahassee is very windy and stormy and not conducive to biking OR driving an RV so we have decided to stay at least 1 extra night here in Monticello. Bruce needs a break after 2 days anyway, right?
I was waiting for the “watch the weather” explanation!! 😂
