I had intended to leave for Florida around 6 am and
drive past Atlanta or perhaps even to the Florida line. However, I awoke before 4 am and made my
departure by around 4:30 driving down I-75.
It was great that I could get on I-75 just 5 miles from our house and
take it all to the way to within an hour of Steve’s house in Sebring,
Florida. Since I traveled through the
cities of Knoxville and Atlanta on Saturday, there wasn’t much traffic and I made
my way easily along. Since I was making
good time, I decided to drive straight through to Sebring and arrived in time
for dinner with Steve and Marcia.
It was great to see them although they had been in the
Huntington area recently to celebrate Tyler’s birthday and his enlistment in
the National Guard. Steve and I have
been pals for nearly half a century and we were all looking forward to spending
time together and enjoying the January Florida warmth.
I had rented a brand new 2020
Cadillac XT4. It seemed odd to take a Cadillac on a hunting
trip but the small SUV has four wheel drive and plenty of room for our
gear. The ride would be very pleasant
for the four of us on our drive to St. Augustine and Titusville. Enterprise gave me a good rate on the car for
the two weeks that we would need it.
