We needed to start racking up some miles once we were through with the Everglades, so we hopped in the car and drove up the West Coast of Florida, through Tampa (decent, but it was going to take a special kind of city to make us stop) and towards the panhandle. We needed miles to …
With the wild and wonderful Key West behind us, it was time to head into the nature side of the Southern United States. There’s nowhere else for that but Everglades National Park. The Drive Driving out the Everglades is almost as interesting as the Everglades itself. I think it’s pretty safe to say that images …

Leaving Georgia behind us, we entered into the internet news’ most interesting state, Florida. The place to party while young and retire once old, I didn’t realized how thoroughly the beaches are hyped until the we crossed into Florida and saw an ad for a hat shop in Coco Beach, 200+ miles away. We weren’t …
