Last night, we had dinner at the Mellow Mushroom to celebrate Nephew Jeremy's 24th birthday. It was good food and good times.
Nephew Jonathan, Paula (sister) and Mark
Niece Olivia, Mark, Nephew Jeremy
Mark and I had a slow start; 9:24, this morning. It's 67° and partly cloudy, The conditions for driving.
Smokey Mountains. the oldest mountains on earth, were formed more than a billion years ago. Pangea, the supercontinent, began to thin and stretch 750 million years ago. This caused the Ocoee Basin to form and fill with sea water where Western North Carolina, Eastern Tennessee and Northern Georgia are today. Sediment accumulated over time and became the bedrock of the Smokies. Meanwhile, volcanoes were erupting in present day Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia and lava was flowing into the sea water basin. When Pangea began to split 540 million years ago, the new continents began to drift apart and new oceans were formed. At 470 million years, the crust plates shifted and started the continentd to move again. About 270 million years ago, present day North America and Africia collided and the result was formation of the Appalachian Mountains.
Sue and Wayne arrived safely in Sanford, Florida where they are leaving the Prevost for water tank repair. At 5:45 pm they left Sanford for HOME.
Mark and Julie entered Florida at 4:15 and spotted a deer at 6 o'clock. Cool. Planned route is I/95 to I-4 to 46. ETA 7:30 pm. On 46, we saw 7 Sandhill cranes and two turkeys.
M & J home at 7:35 pm. What an awesome trip.
S & W home at 9:30 pm.
