Mon,  Oct 25, 2020:  Dothan, AL, to Ocala, FL:  Left this morning at 8:15.  I drove for 2 hours and then Mike drove the rest of the way.  We ran into rain at around Chiefland, FL.  Thankfully, Mike was driving.  It was a deluge at times.  We stopped in Chiefland and grabbed some lunch.  Continued on Alt Rt. 27 which is a really good road.  When we got to I75 it was backed up forever.  Fortunately, we only had to go one exit.  Our Holiday Inn is in Silver Springs which took forever to get there from I75.  We arrived at the hotel at 3:00—but we’re now on Eastern time so it was 4:00.  Not crazy about Eastern time.  Leave tomorrow for Trinity, FL, where we’ll visit my sister and her husband.  It’s only a 90 minute drive, but it will probably take us that long to get back to I75.  Mid-80s here.

 

Ocala is noted for its beautiful horse ranches.  Don't know what happened to all the horses.  Never saw one.
