Long Point Camping Park, Melbourne Beach, FL, to Clerbrook Golf and RV Resort, Clermont, FL: Left Long Point this morning at about 11:00. Headed north on A1A and then west on Rt. 192. Took us over an hour to get through Melbourne and West Melbourne, but then it was a pretty easy drive through rural Florida on a limited access four-lane highway. Picked up Florida’s Turnpike just outside of Kissimmee and it was only another 20 miles to Clermont. When Mike had the window open I kept hearing a clanging noise of something metal dragging on the ground. When we got to our park we stopped and found out the leaf spring on the driver side of the fifth wheel broke in half. It seems Florida’s Turnpike is in a constant state of repair or modification. We went through a section of really rough road and that must have been the culprit. We have an appointment to see an RV dealer on Wednesday. We went to Ay Jalisco for dinner. When we left this morning there were large, dark threatening looking clouds. But by the time we arrived in Clermont it was sunny and 80. YES!
