| Before I left at 10:30PM I saw the mention of low clouds moving in and that they thought they would break up. If this was not the last night one, I probably would have not gone. Oh well! Just got back at 8AM. Nap time now. Did see, before the clouds moved in, an extremely dark night sky just before I reached the coast. That was cool. Not sure if I will go again tonight until I see if the weather conditions improve. I was right here this morning: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=28.572203,-80.797797&sll=28.572203,-80.797797&sspn=0.001811,0.003484&ie=UTF8&ll=28.571939,-80.798097&spn=0.003623,0.006968&t=h&z=18 Parked along the street just a few hundred feet south of there when I found a place along the side of the road someone had yet to take. My first time parallel parking and I didn't even hit anything! And if anyone is going tonight, I recommend taking side roads to leave, like either this way: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=S+Washington+Ave&daddr=S+Washington+Ave+to:Country+Club+Dr+to:28.576457,-80.833626+to:FL-50+W&geocode=FXT5swEdNh0v-w%3BFS4HtAEdGRsv-w%3BFSIUtAEdpu4u-w%3B%3BFbWrswEdo1Au-w&hl=en&mra=dpe&mrcr=0&mrsp=3&sz=14&via=1,2,3&sll=28.567487,-80.810366&sspn=0.057968,0.111494&ie=UTF8&z=14 Or this way: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=S+Washington+Ave&daddr=28.57201,-80.803521+to:Knox+McRae+Dr+to:FL-50+W&hl=en&geocode=FXT5swEdNh0v-w%3B%3BFVD5swEdMLYu-w%3BFbWrswEdo1Au-w&mra=dpe&mrcr=0&mrsp=1&sz=17&via=1,2&sll=28.570691,-80.799916&sspn=0.007246,0.013937&ie=UTF8&ll=28.566205,-80.818262&spn=0.057969,0.111494&z=14 I was in traffic for about 45 minutes longer than I needed to be because I missed taking the best side streets, but I still saved myself over an hour probably. Here is the route I did take: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=28.571171,-80.798253&daddr=Olmstead+Dr+to:Mt+Sterling+Ave+to:Delespine+Ave+to:Knox+McRae+Dr+to:Zoltan+Dr+to:FL-50+W&geocode=%3BFbLtswEd5Bov-w%3BFZzrswEdARIv-w%3BFXfjswEdKxEv-w%3BFVD5swEdMLYu-w%3BFdjNswEd1pgu-w%3BFbWrswEdo1Au-w&hl=en&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=0&sz=19&via=1,2,3,4,5&sll=28.571612,-80.798529&sspn=0.001743,0.003484&ie=UTF8&ll=28.566884,-80.821438&spn=0.055782,0.111494&z=14 But 20 to 30 minutes was simply spent on route 1 that short distance because of a traffic cop who had a light set badly. When there is a dozen plus times more cars coming down one street, you don't set the light to make another street go more often! (And if you went last night and passed the intersection of state roads 50 and 405, you know what I am talking about.  Nice moon just after it rose above the horizon, but just before it disappeared into the clouds:  |
