I'm typing today's entry from my tent, setup under the overhang of an abandoned office building in Melrose FL. We rode 74 miles today in fairly warm and muggy conditions. Stopped often to rest, eat, and cool down. Both Barb and I drank over 2 gallons of fluids and still had some dehydration issues, but we're both feeling fine tonight. We arrived in Melrose not knowing where we'd be camping, and relied on the kindness of strangers. The proprietor of the restaurant we ate at said we could camp on her yard, but strongly suggested this overhang since they expect rain tonight. There's a 24 hr gas station a block away for a restroom and we're quite comfortable as the temperature is dropping. We'll be back on the road about 7 am with intentions of staying at High Springs tomorrow.
