The Panama City, Florida trip is completed. Thursday (Day 1) of the trip was spent getting there. 805 miles one-way. The trip was grueling, to say the least. When one first leaves off, you are of high spirits. That is, until the vast distance begins to really sink in and it is too late to turn around and take the Jeep, or split the trip up over two days. We got rained on in every state we traveled through: Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Florida. Not the whole time, no, but enough that it made the distance that more unpleasant. We stopped every 100 miles to rest, top off the bike, drink and snack. This made the trip to feel quicker than it was. Departure Time from Darrtown: 6:30AM Arrival Time at the hotel: 10:30PM There are too many pictures to pick through for inclusion, so here is the link to Day 1's photos on PicasaWeb: http://picasaweb.google.com/chadrwilson/PCDay1# Day 2 report to follow tomorrow. : 40k miles
