The Florida Panhandle
We now return to our regularly scheduled travel posts…
I’ve been in the Florida panhandle for several months. I love it here and hope to stay for a long time. It is one of the most beautiful places I’ve been in the U.S. Yes, California and Pennsylvania are both lovely, but this area has several things those two don’t: lots of greenery, trees and beaches all together, wide-open country farms, and polite Southerners. There’s also a nice little airport, and a couple big shopping malls.
The sugar-white sand beaches are loaded with amazing sea shells, some as large as your palm, others the size of your thumb, the kind of shells you see for sale in souvenir shops. On the beach, they’re free for the digging. I recently got to dig for shells with a couple friends. I felt like a kid again, looking for perfect shell treasures, and running to my friends to show them my find.
As I’m sure I mentioned before, the sunsets are amazing. The place has an overall sense of peace and calm I haven’t often found, and certainly not in a long time.
And that’s why I love it here.
Coming up: Fort Advanced Redoubt, the Lady in the Lake, and Bamahenge.

Hi Greg! It’s great to hear from you!!
It is LOVELY here! I have not been to Jacksonville, but I understand it gets pretty humid around here in the summer. They also get some hellacious storms around that time, the likes of which might just chase me inland for a bit!
My mom just moved to your general area of Nor Cal. After several years in relatively dry Utah, she’s not very happy about all the recent rain!
Stay dry and don’t grow webbed feet! 😉

By the way, nice website you got there! Looks good my friend, looks good! I wish you much success in your business ventures!
Do you think maybe someday your ‘Chassis’ will tour Alaska? An RV Alaska book would be interesting.
Hi DB,
I might, someday. It’s a long way from Florida, and not quite as sunny. 😉 But, I would like to see it, I just may fly there instead.
