Woman Tours trip from San Diego to St. Augustine finished today. They came in to Anastasia State Park at about 11:30 with a police escort and all of their friends and relatives cheering them on. They went to the beach for the ceremonial dipping of the front wheel in the Atlantic. Some of them couldn’t resist taking a dip too. Then we all had a picnic lunch catered by Island Joe’s at the beach entrance. All 30 of the women completed the trip and they were all in great spirits. 
It was the end of my geocaching trip too, so I dipped my wheels in the ocean and headed west – to Texas. 
Florida is a great place to visit and spend your fortune, but I don’t think I could live here. For one thing there are too many natural and man made obstacles to travel – rivers, swamps, loose and quick sands, etc. that make getting to the next geocache very difficult. This has been a great week for caching and sightseeing. I now have 1146 caches to my credit and I have still found some different types. My accommodations have been excellent, especially St. Anastasia Catholic Church, where they have 1 ½ miles of parking lot roads to get in my bicycle morning exercise. I am traveling light with only one travel bug and one geo-coin – and both of their missions will be taken care of in southeast Texas.
I just made it into the Central time zone at dusk, so I stopped in Marianna for the night and decided to send out this week’s blog. I expect to be in Houston on Monday where I will meet with my new disaster person at the Red Cross Chapter. It has been a long time since my last involvement and I need to get updated on the latest procedures etc.

I enjoy my seasons! I actually love winter (well, when it snows and stays cold enough so it doesn't rain).
No wish to move to Florida or anywhere devoid of winter!
Hey! I'm just a California mom checking out blogs and I was struck by yours. I'm so impressed by your zest for life and experience. Good for you! Keep exploring!
