I departed from the house at 12:00PM EST and headed Southeast to Square 1 Shooting Range in Lake Placid, FL. I took US-301 South to SR-675 in Parrish. Then I took SR-64 a couple of miles to the Verna Bethany Rd down to SR-70. The shooting range is off of SR-70 East of Arcadia, about 7 miles prior to US-27 in Lake Placid. I arrived at 1:49PM EST (all of SR-70 in Arcadia is under construction and down to a single 25MPH lane).

Since it was cold (58 degrees) and our solar panels are now working, I parked out in an open field across the main drive from the office.

We spent New Year’s Eve week camping at Alafia River State Park. We were in Site #27 which was just a couple hundred yards from the restrooms. We arrived to 80 degree weather, but a front passed through that evening and temperatures dropped dramatically by Florida standards. We experienced a high of 61 degrees on Tuesday with an overnight low that night of 33 degrees. New Year’s Eve, Wednesday, was very close to the same. It was nothing that we couldn’t stand with some of Beth’s massive campfires.

Mom and Dad delivered the grand-kids to the campground on New Year’s Eve. They road their new bikes like crazy and played some laser tag. The cold weather sucked the life out of them.
