Kodak Moment???

For our last day in the Okeechobee area we decided to circumnavigate the lake taking the "scenic route". After about an hour we realized that the man-made protection called Hoover Dike, which protects the communities surrounding the lake from flooding during hurricane season, also eliminates ones ability to SEE THE LAKE!!!! DUHHHH!!!! Oh well, I guess a ride is still a ride. Oh yes, there was one small section when we went over a bridge that we finally were able to look out over the Lake.....unfortunately, some lake fog had developed and it was cold and dreary looking - go figure!! Ahh....not all was a loss though, when we got back to the hotel, since the skies were threatening, we decided to walk to "Cowboys" for some lunch. The beer was cold and the food is mighty good yum, yum, another day in paradise!!! Tomorrow we are heading back towards the East Coast. We figure Daytona will be our destination. Aside from loving it there, I believe a couple of bar stools with our names on them are waiting for us....hahaha!!! The last couple of days the weather has been pretty warm and humid. My bones are finally starting to thaw out and I believe I am starting to see the beginnings of a tan forming - good news indeed. Frizzy Flame and turning red Slim Dog

Very cool! You're right though...a crappy ride is better than a good anything else. I agree also, South is the way to go. Where to next? But then again, I guess it doesn't really matter. It's ALL good!
