Day in the Swamps
Today we rode 16 miles to spend the day at the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, overnighting at the Okefenokee Pastimes Cabins 4 miles from the eastern entrance.

Welcome to Georgia
We rode into Georgia today after 12 days and 650 miles total in Florida. Although we are in rural regions headed to Okefenokee Swamps, the most strike change between the States was the outright friendliness of the Georgians. There were lots of folks waving and honking to greet us and all the vehicles, including 18 wheelers along Highway 40 as we rode to Folkston, gave us a wide berth. Looking forward to some southern cooking. Today was about 50 miles.
To Fort Clinch State Park
More of the same today with a steady northwind upward of 15 miles per hour with gusts. The wind carries the northern chill so temperatures were down. Should be warming tomorrow. We camped for first time on this trip at Fort Clinch State Park after a 66-mile day. I once thought California had the most beautiful coastline, but I don't anymore. Each is equally as beautiful and it's great to be able to see it for myself. As a group, we are now adhering to a more efficient pattern of riding and breaks; try to keep hourly breaks (or about every 10 miles) short and have one long late breakfast or lunch stop.
