Friends and Precious Ladies.....

From Albany, we continued on to Tallahassee and then to Perry where we stayed at Perry KOA.

So onward and upward continuing to check bike paths and road conditions. When we got to Chiefland, we needed a few things at Walmart and when we came out, started talking to a man in his pickup. Had a good conversation about our camper and found out Joshua 1:9 was one of his favorite verses too! Said his name was Cliff White and we could remember it by thinking of the White Cliffs of Dover! That works too! LOL!Thank-you to Cliff and his wife for following us and praying for us! Followed the winding Route 17 to Ormond Beach where we stayed at Sunshine Holiday  Daytona  ; Beatrice checked us in and we met Gail Morin ...maybe a relative somewhere along the line! LOL!The manager Michael Deck introduced himself and we told him about the upcoming trip. Everyone was real nice and we felt welcomed there. When we found our spot, we met Rich and Donna who hailed from Hampstead NH, one of our old stomping grounds.

Their beautiful Indian motorcycle shared their campsite along with their two basset hounds.

Thanks for good conversation guys! All too soon, it was time to pack up once again. On our way through Ormond Beach, we stopped at Crossroads Calvary Church (The Chapel) to drop off information about out trip with the pastor. A precious group of ladies was there knitting and crocheting hats and afghans and all kinds of useful things for babies and children in the hospital and also items for veterans and anyone in need.

We could not have met a more kind and generous group of ladies who we know will be praying for us through our journey. Our business cards that we had made list our Facebook page and also the address of this blog so that anyone can follow us and keep track of our progress. They have been invaluable to us on this trip. As we continued through Flagler Beach, saw my first view of the ocean!

It's been so long since I laid eyes on the Atlantic. Summer Haven, then on to St. Augustine with views of the ocean and fisherman.

We stopped at the Sheriff's Office in Crescent Beach to share information about our trip. At the Williston Police Department, Bill met John Pauls. Talked to him through bullet proof glass and the guys were sitting at their desks in bullet proof vests. We so need to support our law enforcement! Also stopped at St. Johns County Fire Rescue, Station 6 to share about our trip to support our firefighters too. Such an important part of any community. As we drove through Valero Beach, saw my first pelicans! We stopped for lunch at a boat ramp that was quiet and Bill cooked us up some Italian sausages in our little beach cottage on wheels.
