Learning the ways of Florida

[MouthPiece]

And if you DO go up the West coast to Pensacola, here's a suggestion for a side tour that doesn't add any miles... when you reach Navarre (about 20 miles east of Pensacola) cross over to Santa Rosa Island and ryde the 19-mile stretch to the next bridge (at Pensacola Beach), then cross back over into Gulf Breeze to continue on to Pensacola. It's a nice drive along Flarda's beautiful Emerald Coast of white sand and green water. There are many parking lots to check out the beaches, but DO NOT attempt to ryde your Spyder in the soft white sand, you'd get stuck for sure.

Trivia note: it's roughly as far from Pensacola to Miami as it is from Pensacola to St. Louis! :yikes:

Rode 399 up the beach

Last Tuesday we rode the road from Navarre Beach to Pensacola Beach. The only bad part of it as of now is, it is bird nesting season and the speed limited is 20 mph, so it is a very nice drive unless you are in a hurry. On Tuesday nights Pensacola Beach has a free band concert, it is every tuesday night for 7 months. It is all local bands, but some are very good. If anyone is coming to the Pensacola area, please let us know so we can go riding with you, if we are in town.

Hi Karyl

 

[Chupaca]

Florida...!!

Hey Karly, lived in Fla three times. Outside Orlando in a little place called Sorrento, second time in Tampa and the last time in West Palm Beach. Traveled all over and if you cross the everglade and go up the west coast stop in at our favorite place Naples. Good to hear your seeing it all and acclimating with the locals and their imported habits.. Enjoy..!! hyea:

Where did you pick up US 19? That's the route we used to go to Spyderfest. And yes Karyl, we do have bears in that region. They are usually small, but they are definitely there. I live just one block off of 19 in Hudson.
