I’m in Ocoee, Florida Reply

The drive was mostly uneventful, except for an accident just north of Savannah, Georgia where I was delayed about 30 minutes. Gas prices were relative expensive [compared to 4th quarter '08] $1.89 [SC] & $2.09 [south of Jacksonville, FL] per gal for regular. I saw lower prices. I just needed fuel at the wrong locations. Speaking of Jacksonville, I took a few [no look] shots as I passed on Interstate 95 South. Ocoee is 4 mile east of Winter Garden [our assembly point for Saturday's ride as well as the Catrike Factory tour]. Both are near Orlando. I’m staying at the Best Western Turnpike West-Orlando.
