The Devastation Continues

Compass Lake in the Hills

Such a pretty view to wake up to this morning.

The land is ravaged but the lake is very pretty.

THese big disaster relief trucks were rolling by us all day yesterday and today. Lots of dump trucks carrying debri flew by. It's going on nonstop and this is almost four months since the hurricane.

We stoppd for a break and talked with a young fellow who was describing what it was like to be in a shelter listening to the wind and to walk out after two hours of 150 mph wind to find everything gone.

We rode a little on The Florid Trail that hikers walk up from Miami. It's a mess but we were able to ride on it for just a bit. The hotel we are in is bare bones but we are just lucky to have a place. Tomorrow we will shift into Eastern Time and I think we will ride beyond the hurricane path.

Today's ride: 40 miles (64 km)
Total: 4,526 miles (7,284 km)
