Route 66: Day 12

Severe weather warnings this morning caused us to hold up for another
day before hitting the road, though later I realized we probably would
have been fine. The Weather Channel said 58 mph winds with 3/4" hail
and thunder showers, but we didn't see any of that here. In
retrospect, I think the worst weather was down in Texas. Of course, it
will probably be up here tomorrow.

The beautiful dogwood trees are very common around these parts. There
are both white and pink varieties. This whole area is very pretty, but
the shoreline seems to be mostly private ownership. Not a lot of
public access. There is about 1200 miles of shoreline since the lake
has many "finger" inlets lining it. The lake itself is serpentine
shaped.
