Day 43 - (11/06) Tallahassee, FL

Thursday - we finished our "Gulf of Mexico coastal adventure" today with a 266 mile drive from Pensacola to Tallahassee. Most of the journey was on US 98 ... it runs along the coast.

Things of note:
  • Henderson Beach State Park (just east of Destin, FL) is a place we'd like to stay. It's been rated the best state park in the country. Three people were on the waiting list for the last spot available today. They suggested making reservations 11 months in advance. Apalachicola is a quaint, little town with a beautiful main street. It's a place to visit again.
  • The drive took much longer than we planned and we lost an hour when we passed into eastern time zone at Beacon Hill. We got to Tallahassee late (7:00pm) and had to set up in the dark.
