Who Turned Off The Heat

It was chilly again riding today, temps were about 45 when I left the hotel. The zipper on my chaps broke last week, I could have used them today. I had under armor on under my jeans, but it didn’t quit cut it. It was cold enough that my fingers were cold all day. This cold weather is getting old! I need to figure out if I’m going to invest in grip warmers or electric gloves that I can plug into my jacket/bike. Or maybe both….

Yesterday I drove by an area that burnt last summer. The whole area was very black. Today I drove by an area that mush have burnt a year or more ago. The base of all the trees were black, but there was new growth all along the ground. Nice to see it growing back! I took Route 98 down along the coast, not much traffic which was nice. The roads are pretty flat and straight, and the scenery has been mostly woods. I did notice that Florida has big ant hills too, but there are many more mounds along the road. They also have a lot of (what I call) creepy trees, with moss and stuff hanging off the trees.
