It got very windy and rainy last night and I was afraid my sleeping bag
would get wet. In the woods there is a thick layer of leaves on the ground
that absorbs the water. This place was hard ground. Had to readjust the
stakes as the wind picked up. Stayed totally dry though.
Had breakfast at the store. The owner offered me 20 $. She's a sweet heart. Must have broken her heart to see me in my pathetically set up tarp.
Continued on Rte 87. Quite uneventful. As I entered Milton a police officer
stopped and checked my ID and took down my address, social security number
etc. This is getting old fast.
Had dinner at Wendy's and got a room for the night.

A 20 mile roadwalk into Pensacola. Was stopped by cops again. There are
several bridges over a bay. That was nice. Got to the airport to get a rental
car. I will be taking several O days here.
