Re: [QUAD-L] Chicago Drive to Ft. Pierce, Fla and Back in 3 Days
I snuck in under the cover of darkness (7:30pm) on last Saturday and didn't see a thing after driving the 1st 1295 miles to Port St. Lucie, FLA. I did notice that they were having a town fair somewhere, but I was much too tired to tour the area. Next morning was Sunday and I headed back North at 8:30am. I only stopped to refuel. Prices in Florida were $2.59 a gallon and by the time I arrive back here it was only $2.19 a gallon. Glad to be back home!

Re: [QUAD-L] Chicago Drive to Ft. Pierce, Fla and Back in 3 Days
Hi Wheels, If you do get back to Ft. Pierce with more time to spare, check out the Navy UDT-SEAL Museum there. The Museum is located on the ground recognized as the 'birthplace' of the U.S. Navy Frogmen. I have a good buddy that was with one of the first classes of Underwater Demolition Teams through there in '43. He was with Team 21 of the 34 UDT teams that were established. He saw action across the Pacific in every major amphibious landing including: Eniwetok, Saipan, Guam, Tinian, Angaur, Ulithi, Pelilui, Leyte, Lingayen Gulf, Zambales, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, Labuan, Brunei Bay, and on 4 July 1945 at Balikpapan on Borneo which was the last UDT demolition operation of the war. As a footnote he was assigned to the Team that entered Tokyo Bay the night of 30 August, 1945. The forts at Futtsu Saki had to be approached and demobilized before the U.S. Fleet could enter the Bay safely. There was someone with his Team from Naval Intelligence that for him they broke into a Bank so he could take pictures of a document. He has never said but in my mind the only document worth a night mission into Tokyo on the early morning of 30 August 1945 would be the Document of Surrender signed by the Japanese Emperor, that had been announced in Japan on 14 August, 1943. Until 2 September 1945 in Tokyo Bay, when representatives of Japan's government and her military signed the Instrument of Surrender on board USS Missouri, I feel that President Truman would have wanted to known that the Document of Surrender had been signed by the emperor as announced 14 August. I do have a pair of two 'War Bonds' taken by the Team while NI was busy getting his photographs of whatever it was he was getting! I sure do hope those oranges and grapefruits are sweet...

Hi Luke, The wind changed from a SSW to a North wind about noon today, so you should be cooling down there by this evening.

[QUAD-L] Chicago Drive to Ft. Pierce, Fla and Back in 3 Days
Does everything in life have to have a point or reason??? (lol) Actually, I was helping a friend out of a very tight spot. I succeeded at the price of exhaustion, I think. Plus, I got the oranges and grapefruit and saw all of the FEMA trailers going South and enjoy the very humid temperatures of Port St. Lucie for mere hours while I slept. I saw a very slimy tree frog and piles of trees and branches in front of most of the houses I passed. It was a 3 day trip covering about 2500 miles. w In a message dated 11/9/05 7:52:55 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << and the point of your trip was?
