No early rising this AM, we got out of the motel at 8 AM local, (7 central.)

The first thing I did was go and fuel up, it looked like this was the cheapest fuel we'd see for the rest of the trip. BB waited at the motel until I got back.

Then 20 miles down the road, we are in FL. Three scales open, we crossed two of them. The usual number of trucks driving down the center line this AM, we just let them pass as quickly as possible. First stop was at a rest area in Gainsville. Truck area was full but we found places to park behind other short units, otherwise it's back on the highway to the next exit.

About an hour later at Wildwood we exit the freeway. I have made notes of the highway numbers, but not how far on each road. We were this way once before but I don't remember enough to follow my nose. Eight turns, missed the next to the last one, I knew I should be seeing the freeway before I turned so when I saw it coming up I pulled off and looked at my phone/map. BB went on ahead to fuel. No problem, I was directly south of her drop. This opps my have cost me a half mile. The one thing I did remember about these side roads was the bear crossing signs, no bears, just signs.

I was to her drop first so i asked where to park, etc and then waited for BB. It took about a half hour to get inspected after she was there. Not much to check on these little ones.

When I got there someone was making a deli delivery, so that is where we ended up going. Connie's Deli. Sign says "Best Philly in the area," but they were out of beef so I had a reuben instead. BB had a chicken wrap. We'll likely be back if we make it back to Sanford.

From here it is about 90 miles through Orlando road construction to get to our rental car in Lakeland. I'm not going to make it to my drop without more fuel so we stop on the way to the rental car. Six gallons should get me there, now we will see how much I leave in the tank.

Hertz is not in the nicest section of town, we will likely return it somewhere else if the cost isn't too much more. I tried to find a place to park when she got the car, I finally ended up double parking near a hospital just so I could call BB. From there we met at a new Circle K a few blocks away. We had noticed this place on the way down. I needed to make some calls on my warning light. I knew there was a dealer in Tampa, but the exit before we got off in Lakeland there was another dealer so we ended up going there.

Usually the 'roadside' numbers we have are helpful. This one was not, all they would do is give me the number for the closest dealer. I could have gotten that online and I told them that. Dealer may be an issue too, he want's me to pay him for the work done before I pickup. So, once the bill is ready, I need to call dispatch, dispatch calls Winnie, Winnie calls Mercedes, Mercedes calls the dealer. It will most likely take longer to get the bill paid than the work itself.

Opps ... when I walked into the dealer, I mentioned I had talked to 'Jeff,' so this person walks me over to his desk and say "This driver from Advanced ..." (I'm wearing my Advanced shirt while running for Bennett) So I had to clear that up.

We ended up at a Sleep Inn across the freeway from the dealer, we can see the sign from the parking lot. Next door is a Cracker Barrel where we ate. Meatloaf with fried apples, hashbrown casserole and ... grits. This might have been the first time I have eaten them. They are OK, but likely not as good as a local diner.

There are four trucks out of the NC location we have been watching, all going to Edmonton. That would be a first for us. There is also one out of GA going to CA ... a week from Friday. So we will wait. Right now just hoping that they get this RV fixed and paid in time to deliver tomorrow.

Didn't even think about the Super Moon last night ... until just now.
