& hotels along the Indian River next place was Titusville 5 miles north we crossed a wooden bridge here. over 1 1/2 miles long. over the river. the water looked shallow only a few inches deep some places. then over a sand and coral road for about 15 miles so rough you could hardly sit in the car. We walked over the sand about 100 yds to the ocean beach took off our shoes and waded in the surf. the water was cool. but the sand was nice. back home the same road. 120 miles in all. got home about 6 oclock
