Everybody would be doing it!
Tough few days as I continue to claw my south. Turns out There is a Disney resort in Vero Beach, and I stayed there….kind of, on Friday night. After a day of heat and and humidity I found a gypsy campsite on the edge of the Disney property, which is good since it would have cost $300+ to stay in the resort on a Friday. Unfortunately the humidty was relentless throughout the night and my phone got soaked from condensation as I slowly baked in my tent.
Although it still worked the next morning it was clear that my phone was fading fast. So the race was on to get inland to Vero Beach and find an AT&T dealer.
After I covered the roughly 10 miles into town I hit the motherload…a Jersey Mike’s sub shop, a laundromat, and an AT&T store all in the same shopping area.
I met some great people everywhere I went, and got food and laundry done while the AT&T folks triend to save my phone….or at least all the info on it.
Four hours later I had a new phone and most of my files (lost all pics from the last couple days). Since I had my laundry done and it was already late afternoon, I decided to cut my losses and stay in a motel in town rather than continuing into the night and staying outside for a third night. That would let me dry my tent and mattress out (they needed it badly), and let me rest my aching heel. Now will have to make up those lost miles somewhere over the next few days.
