Crestview to Chipley FL - 68 miles of rain

So far we have been blessed with good weather on our journey.  Today was our first real rain day, it rained overnight and intermittently all day today.  Never hard, just light rain on and off all day.  The good thing was it was 75 degrees and once we reached “saturation” we could not get any wetter and we were not cold. My panniers did their job and kept everything I was not wearing dry.  We were going to do a short day because of the rain, but once wet and rolling we saw no reason to stop. If we stopped we would be stuck in a hotel.  We did see a few cool things along the way.

DeFuniak Springs has a 68 degree hot spring that we biked around (about a mile) and saw Boy Scouts setting up for the Veterans Day parade.

Ponce De Leon -  We passed through and thought about the Fountain of Youth.  I think biking 3000 miles across the USA is as close to a Fountain of Youth as I will ever get.

The route was mostly on Florida 90 and good most of the way with low traffic.
