I'd like to do a weekend trip from Georgia to Florida. St. Augustine is just inside the 250-mile radius I'm allowed to travel without approval from the military.
I like medieval arms and armor, so I'd definitely want to visit Castillo de San Marcos.
Is St. Augustine worth the trip?
Anywhere you ride the :spyder2: is a good trip..
Well worth a trip! I liked it there. Neat old town!
St.Augustine is well worth the trip. Of course there are tourist trap things there, but the historical part of the city and the Castillo de San Marcos are wonderful. The city itself is sometime hard to navigate in. Many of the old streets have been preserved and the city is constantly rerouting traffic (not detours) in an attempt to find the best compromise between preserving the old and keeping modern day traffic flowing. Lots of good seafood to be had also.
I love St Augustine. It's the oldest city in America!!! There is so much to see and lots of characters! Very educational too. Have fun:f_spider:
This sounds like it might be a fun road trip. :thumbup:
Do the Hearse tour...pretty cool!
Stop in and see the dealer there; nice people to do business with:thumbup:
It's a very cordial little city, with interesting historical landmarks, good food and nice accommodations.
Wife and I will be there next week. Staying at the Hilton on the beach. Sadly, the Spyder will be staying home.
St. Augustine is a beautiful city and unique in its character and architecture. Many great restaurants, wonderful beaches and is very safe. A great town to stroll in, take a carriage ride, or trailer train. The lightner museum located in city hall is a must IMHO. Also don't forget the fort and the starbuck's coffee shop in the casa monica hotel. Also on the edge of town are two of the largest outlet malls on the east coast. Am I prejudice? Of course-it's my city
When are you going and what route are you planning to take?
I may be able to tag along for a bit...:doorag:
