Pensacola Beach, Florida

We "achieved" Florida two nights ago. Once we left Cape Girardeau, we got out of the snow about 50 miles south. The rest of the drive was windy and cool, but sunny at last and no snow!

It is not warm here in Pensacola. While it will maybe be in the mid 60's today, nights are still getting down into the 40's and coming up is another cool air mass. But that aside, as one friend observed, it is better than being in the polar vortex now firmly in place in Minnesota. 

We each did a nice run yesterday along the Pensacola Beach Trail - Ft. Pickens Road, and I am planning a walk there today. It is SO nice to be able to run without tons of warm clothing required!

This is a screen shot of a Google map of where we are. The blue dot is the RV park where we are staying through tonight.
