The weather is changing!  No longer are we donning our windbreakers for our morning departures and we have had fog delays for the last 2 mornings.   The humidity is way up there compared to what our bodies are used to and it is getting hot.  For me, this translates into a sloth like energy level, not the best when you've got miles to go before you sleep.  We're all drinking more, paying closer attention to electrolyte replacement and I'm learning new methods to keep cool.  Most of these include wetting down as many articles of clothing as possible, including gloves, arm coolers and bandana which I wear under my helmet.  We rode along Route 90 (which parallels Interstate 10 and we have been following roughly the entire trip on back roads) on 4/23 and stopped to take in the sights at DeFuniac Springs, FL, a town of Victorian homes sitting on a beautiful pond.  Someone remarked that it looked like the set of 'The Music Man' and I concur.
