Our first day on the road was not an easy one. Just after we got on the Florida Turnpike near Fort Pierce, a truck pulling a boat passed us and a folding chair in its sleeve flew out of the boat and we ran over it with our left front tire. We pulled over and saw no damage, we dodged the bullet that time.
Fifty miles south of Gainesville, someone decided to roll their Jeep over and we were held up in traffic for an hour and a half.
Then just outside of Lake City a car pulling a popup camper with three bikes on top of it passed us. When it was about fifty yards in front of us one of their bikes fell off and I could not miss it and ran right over it. I was able to not hit it with my tires and the only damage we had was our generator exhaust pipe was ripped off. The bike then got wedged under the Jeep and we dragged it over a bridge before we could get off the road safely. The people did come back and give us their insurance information and the Highway Patrol also stopped to make sure everyone was ok. We were very lucky that we did not hit the bike when it made its first bounce off the trailer and it went under us instead of into us.
Oh, life on the road is so much fun! But not today.
