kat, we drove on to Daytona, and toured Daytona, USA -- it was still open! I had to see Dale's winning car, and the lucky penny. Even got interviewed on TNN about the postponement(my 15 seconds of fame). LOL
When we left, we were standing by the car, I held out my hand and ashes from the fires drifted down into my hand. At one point, the fires were just across the street from turns 1 and 2.
Driving to Orlando, at times the smoke was horribly thick. You could see the fires on both sides of the freeway.
