We’ve also just updated our list for 2019 of the Top RV Shows in US and Canada and updated our Fort Pickens Campground page with news relating to the shutdown.

This past spring we extended our exploration of Florida’s Scenic Gulf Coast Highway 98 from Pensacola Beach to south of Tallahassee. At Tallahassee, Highway 98 moves away from the coast and technically no longer a coastal drive. However, we had heard good things about Cedar Keys, a Gulf resort beach community about 150 miles south of Tallahassee. So we took a drive down that far and we really impressed. See our article on things to see and do visiting Cedar Key.  Also found two campgrounds down there we like: Shell Mound County Park and Manatee Springs State Park.

We also recently finished posting our article on interesting visitor attractions in Dubuque, Iowa along the Great River Road Scenic Drive and updates to our series of article driving along the Natchez Trace National Scenic Drive.

The recent Hurricane of 2018 will affect travel along the Florida Gulf Coast Scenic Drive from Panana City Beach to historic Apalachicola, Florida. You’ll have to take a few detours along the route. Fortunately, although they got a lot of water, Apalachicola should be recovering nicely from the storm and is planning on continuing to hold their annual Florida Seafood Festival.
