Day 15, Mile 2,577.9

At my going away party at work, they gave me a retirement card. And so far retirement is going great. I am glad I no longer have 3 Voice Mails, and an email to check on a regular basis. Not for me.

Made to Patrick Pepe's place last night about 10:00PM last night after my leisurely 12 hour drive from Newnan, GA. I think I will stay here for a least a few days. Woke up this morning and went to get some coffee about 11:00AM and damn it was cold out. I had ice all over my car and the wind was blowing. Currently it is 28 and only 13 with the wind chill. I am glad that I did not camp last night. I know this does not sound very cold to a lot of you northern people. But don't forget that my blood has thinned out from Florida. So it felt damn cold to me!

I am glad that I did the 12 hours yesterday because I would not want to be driving through this crap. The people around here are not use to ice on the roads. On the news this morning Oklahoma City said they were ready for any ice because they had 2 trucks ready with sand and salt. WOW 2 trucks for a major city.

So where to next do you ask? Looking to see if I can find some hot springs to get lost at for a day or two.
