Fri, Nov 11, Ft. Pickens, Pensacola, FL, to KOA, Perry, FL:  Left at 9:30 this morning which we thought was pretty good, but we forgot we lose an hour because we’ll now be on Eastern Time (ugh!).  Took us 45 minutes just to get to I10 where we continued east and dropped south on 19/27 which is a limited access four-lane highway.  This is a pretty drive on 19/27 through a rural area of sprawling ranches with huge live oaks covered in Spanish moss, all enclosed in neat white- or brown-board fencing.  We drove through tiny little towns with names like Eridu and Iddu that haven’t changed for decades.  We pulled into the KOA in Perry at 4:30—just in time for dark (sigh).  Leave tomorrow for Lake Manatee in Sarasota.
