I've been all over the east, camping under the ruse of extended business travel. Subsequently, with limited time on those trips, I've seen a lot and missed a ton. I've even returned to some of those places for a vacation in order to explore the areas further. I've spent very little time out west and would like to pursue that to a larger degree upon retirement next year.
However, I keep coming back to that section of the gulf coast in the Florida Panhandle called the "Forgotten Coast". It stretches 100 miles along the coastline that is reminiscent of Florida some 60 years ago. No highrise condos, single beach houses are on stilts, just 100 miles of virtually uninhabited white sandy beaches and small fishing villages. A small working waterfront keeps the local dives and residents stocked with fresh seafood and gator tail in season. Roadside stands have the freshest fruits and veggies in season. And some of the finest local gourmet sauces and preserves are available. Tupelo, the gold standard in honey, is indigenous to the area. High in Fructose and low in Sucrose, many diabetics can partake and it doesn't granulate. Who needs a grocery store with higher prices? You can stop into a Hardees on Wednesday mornings at 9 a.m., order breakfast and listen to 3 local old timers with 2 guitars and a harmonica playing and singing a little blue grass and gospel in the corner. Or I can go to one of the world's largest natural fresh water springs for a relaxing day. Much of the area borders a National park. The pace is slow and the traffic is light. It's the "old Florida" that I grew up in... my home of homes as a full timer.
