We left Jay B. Starkey bound for Tallahassee. Jut east of Tallahassee George spotted a 300TD in the same color as mine! It looked very well kept with no obvious rust or damage although, the wheels were wrong and it had euro lights instead of the US spec headlights, otherwise it looked just like mine. Hopefully, I will have one again one day; this was by far my favorite car I have driven.
We arrived in the Tallahassee area around 3:30pm and decided to continue west since it was so early in the day. We made a plan to make it to Dead River Landing where we had camped previously back in February. Contrary to it's name, the Dead River was very much alive, and flooded all over the road leading to the camping area. We had no choice but to turn around and keep going west.
On the way back to the main road from the flooded Dead River we saw a rattlesnake that had been run over. The vultures squawking around it are what drew our attention to it.
We made a plan to get to the Moss Point Rest Area in Mississippi since we had already seen all we cared to in the panhandle of Florida. Two fuel stops and 520 miles later we pulled into Moss Point.
The last time we covered that much ground in one day was on our Maiden Voyage... and we all know what happened the morning after that! Luckily, George was feeling good the next day and all was well.
