tatest: Florida's Natures Coast sounds great, but what is really there in the way of state or federal parks, which we prefer? By the way, Panacea, FL has/had THE best fresh sea food market we've found. Like that area much, but there isn't much in the way of camping that we've found, but that's why we're asking on this forum.
We feel that we gotta head west to see Louisiana, just north of New Orleans, Fontainebleau, Fairview Riverside, & Tickfaw State Parks. This was our original early spring agenda prior to the onset of our medical set backs. Sure we like the serenity of the beach & breaking waves, but don't plan to swim or wade at all. Walk about, cook & eat fresh sea food and enjoy the great outdoors. See unfamiliar sites and consume the local fare and culture.
Also has anyone any info on the carvings of the trees along HWY 90 that were destroyed in Katrina around the Biloxi/Gulf Port area? That's also on out list.
Thanks for all the great info, but if snow sets in early we'll have to gut it out and hunker down with the ole keyboard and plot another trip come the thaw.
