How long ago did all of this happen? I have read that the speed limit no longer changes frequently along that stretch of 301 - no? I had read about the Waldo P.D.; and if I recall correctly, Starke has a bunch of traffic lights that can impede driving over the speed limit - has that changed, too?

All good about the A-T. However, if you're a light sleeper, know that the loco-train whistle blasts several times at all grade crossings the further south you get. All. Night. Long. Did it once; never again.

I was warned about this. I got a room to the rear. Not bad at all.

Depends on the dog. I wish I had my dog's bladder.

You know you're in trouble when you start scheduling your errands around available restrooms.
