First Ferry This is our first ferry crossing. The little ferry held about 10 cars and took about 10 minutes to cross the St Johns River just outside of Jacksonville Beach FL. This allowed us to route around Jacksonville city traffic and get a much more scenic ride. Decals on the scooter are the trip's sponsors. Camping Our campsite outside of Savannah GA on Skidaway Island. Deer came out to watch us make camp and eat dinner. Cracker Barrel We Love Cracker Barrel! This one is outside Savannah GA. Gourd Farm A farm that sells thousand of gourds in rural GA. You can see the stacks of gourds everywhere. Gourd Farm 2 Lots of gourds in the background. The building across the street is the Dutch Mennonite restaurant that specializes in Southern Cooking, where we had lunch. A real cultural experience.

We had to ride in 30-40 mph crosswinds on Hatteras and in many spots sand had blown across the road. Kitty Hawk Hostel This is the Hostel in Kitty Hawk where we stayed, both north and southbound.

New York Here we are crossing into NY state and will be riding the Pocono Mountains soon where the weather went sour. We crossed the Appalachian Trail at least three times on the trip. Oil Change Yuck! Changing the oil in Middletown CT after about 2200 miles. The scooters held up great and other than checks, this is the only maintenance they needed. Storm Coming Back in Florida, heading south about 250 miles from the trip's end, a summer storm is blowing in. Yes we did get wet. Okeechobee Near the end. Feeling melancholy about the trip ending we stop off at Lake Okeechobee with only about 100 miles left.
