April 6th

We spent the night outside at a friends house and got up about 7:30am. Had coffee and breakfast with Toni, Tom and Brant. Had a last chat with them and then took off about 10 am or so. Stayed driving all day this time.
We did stop for some diesel at found it for $3.85 gal. We got 77.74 gals and it came out to 9.36 mpg this time. There was some driving thru towns and stuff with stop and go with lights so thats why the lowered milage. We think that the gage is off by alot cause at needing the 77 gals it says we have between 1/4 and 1/2 tank. We will have to check into that but thats not high on the list cause at that we still go over 700 miles before getting fuel. Besides we found it at $3.85, we would have gotten it at that price at a half tank, lol.
We made a decision that even if we would not make it all the 1100 miles down to Bradenton that we would at least make Florida before we stopped and well shortly after we hit the border we stopped at Pelican Palms RV Park. It's ok. We stopped at about 2 or 3 am so we had to find a spot and the 'map' was not marked about what was were so the spot we picked just had 30 amp service. The water spigot itself leaks - alot. Thom will be going up here shortly to pay and let them know.
EDIT - they gave us a discount on the price since we could not use the water.
We are just going to make coffee, oatmeal for breakfast, checking some game stuff and then getting back on the road. We will be down in Bradenton tonight.
