• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Key West or Bust

If you're going through Mobile, there's a couple of good seafood places where the U.S. ships are docked. I can't remember the name.

If you are headed to G'ville from Mobile and then to Miama, it looks like you'll be way east of the west coast to stop by a restaurant called the Riverside Cafe in St. Marks, Flarda, (great food, but service is a bit slow) OR a nice seafood restaurant (the name escapes me right now) in downtown Steinhatchee, Flarda.

It appears as though you'll be taking I-75 south from G'ville. I'm not sure where your stops will be from there. I will say that there is a great little place in Williston, Flarda, (a bit southwest of G'ville) that has great home cookin.

Bottom line is if you're trying to make time, then ignore everything I've said.

In Mobile we are staying on the North East side of town near the airport and eating at Red Lobster. I used to live in Pascagoula MS so I know Mobile and the gulf coast well. It will be a long day for sure... by changing our first day from Gulfport MS to Mobile AL we knocked 97 miles off the second day so it is only 389 miles now. I added your info to my trip things to do/see. Only 2 days are a "drive like you stole it" day so the rest should be pretty relaxing.

We are all packed and ready to go...

Thanks

JT, you won't find a better and more knowledgeable person(s), John and Carol to ride with. John knows every road in the state of Flarda. He can put you on some really great sites.
