All my friends who were going left a day earlier than me so I had to drive to Florida by myself from NC which is about 14 hours from Big Cypress. I left the night of the 28th without a ticket and had to drive all night. I got to the welcome center after you cross the border of Florida and found a ticket for $150. I was sooooo happy. 

It was hard staying awake all night to drive there and back but it was well worth it. I was also very lucky to have met some friends that I was at the Raleigh show with. They had just gotten some G13, so that was nice. I got grounded by my parents for a month but it was worth it.
