Thanks, Jim You live there & still don't know your way around? 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. Dumb Donny doesn't realize that Florida is a big state. From Central Florida to that corner of the state is 400 miles. Sheesh! So? How long have you lived in Florida? I lived in the state for about five years and visited all over it. |

Thanks, Jim 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? -- John H. |

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. Quite frankly, I-10 is the most boring drive ever but you might consider stopping at Suwanee River State Park near Live Oak. There is also a small spring between the interstate and the park whose name I cannot remember but it is also state owned and there is a sign for it. West of Tallahassee, you should visit Torreya State Park because it has some of the highest hills in FL and will make you think you are int eh mountains. It overlooks the Apalachicola River. The roughly 2 mile hike on the bluff trail to the primitive campsite is really nice. Florida Caverns is a good park too near Marianna. The cave is sorta small but the park has a good spring for swimming. 98 is interesting but will take you forever. East of Tallahassee, there isnt much to see except for the Aucilla Sinks area but that is quite a walk and drive into wilderness. There are tiny coastal areas like Panacea but they are nothing to look at. Apalachicola is worth a visit. Get a drink at the Gibson Inn or go to the Boss Oyster bar on the water (its gotten very uppity lately). Walk out on the dock beside the bridge into the bay. St. George Island has a good beach but has become touristy. Near St. Joe I reccomend St Joseph State Park but it is a ways off 98. Panama City will make you pray for it to get a direct hurricane hit although St Andrews State Park is nice. |
