Today was a driving day. We left Peace River and drove through the Orlando area which is an almost homicide-inducing nightmare of traffic. Near the wonderful Disney area, traffic comes to a standstill as out-of-state tourists and deranged Floridians vie for insufficient roadway space. To make the drive more interesting, there were some nice Florida downpours which release water from the sky in almost biblical proportions. Sometimes during the downpours drivers can actually see through the windshield as long as they keep their speed below about 35 mph.
After clearing the Orlando area, traffic returned to merely chaotic instead of downright insane. We ultimately made it to a KOA in Mims, FL, which is close to Cape Canaveral. Of course, it was raining when we arrived so I only got moderately wet as I set up the Invader for a three night stay.
