7:30am- More rain last night (Welcome back to the unpredictable Florida climate) I slept in another lake and this morning everything is double weight on my back. I wish I had my little pull along thing again.
We are somewhere on the east outskirts of SanDestin and starting to see civilization.I'll be glad when we get back into Alabama and no longer have to look over my shoulder, all the time.
1:00pm- We are into Santa Rosa Beach and we're just taking it easy today. My damn feet hurt, probably because they haven't been dry for days. I stopped by a hardware store and bought a tarp (8' X 10") Now, maybe I can stay a little drier. Might not even use the tent for awhile, just hang the tarp up and crawl under it.
5:00pm- We stopped for the day and I don't believe we made 10 miles today. All my belongings are soaked and heavy, very heavy. I put up a clothes line and trying to dry some stuff, I figure I'm carrying an extra 40lbs. of water.
I talked to a Walton Co. Deputy and he said rain is really heavy north of here and on the way. Oh Boy! Gotta love it. Lot of rattlesnakes around here, gonna have to keep an eye on Skil's. I didn't make SanDestin, now that is a sorry days walk. I am ashamed of myself. I'll blame it on my pardner, he thinks everything is my fault anyway.
