Day 13 - October 13, 2005

I’m outside of Melbourne, Florida on A1A heading up to Cocoa Beach. There really is one. It wasn’t just on “I Dream of Jeanie.” My toe is completely recovered, lost about half a toenail. Still can’t stand the heat and can’t wait to get out of Florida. Now starting at 4:30 a.m. and going about five or six hours till it gets really hot, doing 10-15 miles a day. Stayed with Dave Herbig’s folks in Vero Beach, and then Jim and Mary Jane Corless joined me for half a day. It was really cool to see them. Have been on A1A near the beach for a few days. Stopped in a fire station to cool off after Floridana Beach and the dispatcher there said she grew up in Fairbanks. After Cocoa Beach, I’ll move back inland to Hwy. 1 for about 30 miles to get around Cape Canaveral.
