Okefenokee to Tallahassee

After another rainy evening, I woke to a fine sunrise,

I showered with the tree frogs

and drove out of the Okefenokee and west toward Valdosta.

Valdosta yet another town with the strip smears around  nice, mostly empty old downtown

I drove west through farmland to Boston where the peanut harvest was in progress.

then south through cotton fields where I stopped and picked a handful of cotton

and into the rolling hills of the north central Florida panhandle, the first hills I'd seen since leaving Washington, DC.

I drove through Monticello, a pretty little town with a big courthouse, oak lined roads and the Brahma Motel.

to Tallahassee and friend Ree's house for welcome rest and visit.
