The Florida Gulf


Some decisions are good ones and some are not. Our decision to travel west through Florida instead of South was definately one of the good ones. Basically we traveled Route 10 all the way over to DeFuniak Springs Florida. We stayed at a large campground that typlified the "snow-bird" destinations of Florida. We stayed 3 days and that could have been 3 days too many if it hadn't been for our day trip down to sceanic route 98 and Navarre Beach. To quote John, "the place is filled with old people".
Our drive along the coast was really nice. I prefer the Gulf coast to the Atlantic coast. The sand is so white and very fine and there are much smaller waves. It was just beautiful. We had lunch at a small place on the beach called Sailor's Grill. A gas station clerk in North Carolina told us we should stop there, so we did. Food was okay but the view was spectacular.... we were on a deck 50 feet from the water. Navarre Beach is more open, unconjested than other places we saw. However, a typical 1,000 square foot beach house was selling for $355,000.
Westward ho....
