Return of the Akichita

165556

What an absolutely wonderful, relaxing, soothing hotel stay last night. Wow. I really didn't want to leave, but finally rolled around 1030 this morning, heading up to Jacksonville.

I got really lucky in Jacksonville picking up my last Tour of Honor photo. It was just outside of the Jacksonville Jaguars football stadium, but apparently they didn't have a game today. Not sure I would've been able to get it if they had been playing. It's an eternal flame and a very nice memorial to all the vets from the county.

My goal today was to make it to Panama City Beach to return the Hoka Hey's Akichita, the moose shed I've been carrying since my big finish. It's been an honor to carry it. I passed it back to Big John and am staying at Crazy One Eyed Biker's spare apartment this evening. Unfortunately, he's out of town. It would have been really cool to hang out with him but I truly appreciate the digs for the night.

P.S.: I finished my Tour of Honor challenge today with 304 points for the year, which should land me 3rd place. Cool.Read more
