Up at 2AM on the 26th and out the door by 3AM. We have warm rain on top of cold snowy ground, so the Fog is thick as soup. We hit North Carolina by 6AM and I was exhausted! We stopped at the Welcome Center and I slept until 7:30. We hit South Carolina without a hitch, until we came upon a 2 mile back up due to a Bird Dog working a covey in the middle of the Southbound 95 lane. An hour later we were stopped dead for a wreck just miles from the Georgia Line. We followed a Tour Bus to detour around the wreck, but by than we had lost another 2 hours. To add insult, we heard on the radio traffic report out of Jax that traffic in Orlando was backed up in both directions and to expect an hour+ delay. This caused us to take 95 south to Port St.Luci and pick up Rt68 to Rt90 to Rt721 to Rt70 to Rt27 and come into Palmdale by way of Robinhood's Barn. We had something cross the road and Sherry swears it was a Bear Cub, but I could not tell for certain. We got in at 8:30PM. It took us 17 1/2 hrs!
