QUINCY, FL.  Our printed itinerary says that we are in Tallahassee tonight, but that is incorrect.  We are in the same park west of there that we stayed at in March as our last stop before driving home on April 1st.  No fooling.

We are at Pat Thomas Park in Gadsden County, a favorite among local boaters for its very nice lake, Lake Talquin.  See photos below.

Our trip today began with the usual drama, rushing to pack things forgotten up until then, trying to stuff too much food from our house freezer into our motorhome freezer (which is smaller), etc.  We did not pull out of the driveway until 1:45 pm, much later than planned. 

Then something happened that has never happened before in two years of cross-country motorhome travel.  Several miles west of Penny Farms on SR 16, due to an odd combination of events, the Jeep was coming loose from the tow bar on one side, setting off a safety mechanism that made the Jeep slam on brakes.  This is not supposed to happen unless the Jeep has come completely loose from the motorhome.  By the time we noticed the awkward behavior of the Jeep in our rear view camera, the Jeep's brakes were very overheated.  Everything has turned out OK.  The Jeep's tires look fine, the brakes cooled off pretty fast, and we fixed the glitch that caused the whole thing.  God's providence once again was evident in there being a place to pull the motorhome off the road when we needed it, a rare find when driving a motorhome.  Yet our nerves were put to the test.
