Heading North

Heading North

Moving on. A lot has happened since we left the Orlando area. First stop was Wickham park in Melbourne Fl. for two plus weeks with some long walks on the beach when it was warm, and checking out the Melbourne zoo. There where some very nice days intermixed with the cool ones. Over all it was a very nice stay with Ron and Nancy at the campground. From there we moved north to the Ocala National Forest again for a stay at Salt Springs and a visit with Dick and Sharon in Ocala. A few days after leaving the Ocala National Forest we ended up in Pigeon Forge Tn. We followed Rt. 441 the old Orange Blossom trail form Florida into the Smoky Mountains.The snow we had in the higher elevations of the Smokies was the last we hope to see untill next year.
It was nice to have the slower pace of the back roads compared to the interstates. Some of our warmer weather was in the states of Georgia and Tennessee, in the 70s the last few days. Once in Pigeon Forge we had to take the trolley ride back to Gatlinburg to take the ski lift up to a lookout spot to overlook downtown Gatlinburg.
Today is Sat. March 20th and we spent the afternoon at the Knoxville Zoo. Temps in the mid 70s, which made it a very nice day at the zoo. We sure had some beautiful days for site seeing along the way. Tomorrow is planned for a cook out at son Steve’s home and then it is time to hook up the mobile motel and take it home.
