Over 3000 miles from coast to coast!
April 27 - Hawthorne to St. Augustine - 80 miles. We drove back to Hawthorne from the 20 mile detoured campground to start our LAST DAY. Another motor home problem popped up in Palastka, turning lights this time. After the fix, we were back on the road for the final 40 mile push. Denise drove the motor home to St. Augustine and Anastasia State Park where we will be camping. A small problem occurred at the campground over picture ID because the reservations were in Mike's name. But Denise parked the RV in the day use area and rode out to meet us for the ride to the beach and the Atlantic Ocean. We met up on the outskirts of town and all rode in together. We arrived at the beach and hauled our bikes out to the ocean putting our front wheels in. Popped a bottle of champaine and celebrated our accomplishments. Followed up with a nice dinner in town later that night. The guys rode a over 3000 miles in 50 days! Probably more, considering all the miles rode making wrong turns and/or getting off route.
Having the motor home made our ride rather plush. We have a new found respect for all of the cyclists who go self support and carry their gear. That would be a lot harder.
But our adventure does not end hear. Read on for the final chapter....
