Florida Tour: Day +3

So today was tour day 3! Today we rode on the straightest road we may have ever been on in our entire life. . . It was about 30 miles of riding on the stretch, I think there were 5 curves total. But! We made it to the coast today, which made up for it. Yup, at old Port St. Joe (St. Joe for short).

We wandered around for a while buying food, supplies, fudge. . . the necessities, before we realized where we wanted to camp was a little to far away, almost as far as we had already ridden today. After checking out the places the police recommended, we decided to start searching on our own for a place. Hanging out downtown we saw the touring cyclist, Jim Lund, we had seen earlier, Joey chases him down. As he was asking where Jim is going to camp a local man recommends camping straight down the road at the edge of the water, he said no one would bother us there, so we did!

It ended up being the best camping spot ever. . . Under the palm trees, on the sandy beach, how much better could it get?

THE BEACH. SCORE.
This was our campsite, just off of the beach.
