Destin beach area. I also mapped out going via 19/98. I'd like the same
information for that route. I might rent a small boat in Destin for a
day.Do you have any suggestions on that?
Thanks,

You live there & still don't know your way around?



No surprise there.

Don, you live in Canada, do you know every place to go there? Do you
know everything to do there? Do you know every place do eat there? I
didn't think so. Because of your hatred, you're sounding quite dumb.

Pssstt.......Loogy........for starters (I will go slow for you, one by
one)......Canada is a Country........Florida is a State. Let me know
when you finally understand that so I can post the next fact.

Texas, like Fl has law that says any of the beach between high and low

the case before they built but did anyway.

The problem is they had a weak building code.
This one did OK, built to a 150 MPH wind code and exceeding minimum
FEMA elevation

The trouble is that even if a structure is built to resist the forces
of a 200mph wind, it isn't practical to build one to resist the forces
of wind blown debris. Once you have compromised the wall, which is
acting as a diaphram to resist those wind forces with wind blown
debris, bad things start happening quickly.

I would think that being able to absorb impact forces of debris would
be one of the criteria for a structure being rated as being able to
resists the forces of a 200 mph wind.

Further, the distance between the Florida starting point and the
destination is not far, and there are first-rate interstate highways for
most of the trip. I've hauled boats up and down I-75 and east and west
along I-10. Why someone would think there might be a "road problem" for
hauling around a land cruiser is beyond me.

Floridians tend to travel all over their state, much more than the
residents of many other states where I have lived.

I can drive from the Atlantic to the Pacific without consulting a map at
any time. So can millions of other Americans. It's not a great feat.
Neither is driving from Boston to Key West.

I doubt Loogy can tie his shoes without a primer.

My daughter lived in Pensacola and later in Mexico Beach (Port St Joe
area). I have taken both routes many times (from SW Fla)
In a motor home I would certainly use the interstate. 98 will drag you
down some winding 2 lane blacktop. 98 is shorter but slower going.
Even coming out of Mexico Beach where there is no easy way to get to
I-10 without going out of your way, it is still faster.

thanks for the feedback.

Jim, sorry to OT you, but I just wanted to let you, et al, know that I got
my money back from Thousand Trails. It took a little prompting from the
Virginia Department of Consumer Affairs, but it's all back.

Which of the Passport America's do you use?

Glad you got out of 1000T OK

Just in case I can't find your Email addy., send me an Email and I will
give you a heads up on PA.
