Has anyone made this ride? How was it?

Anybody made that ride? Anything of interest, other than the beach, along the way? Thanks! pollolittle Posted 2011-10-25 12:49 PM (#99850 - in reply to #99833) Subject: Re: Has anyone made this ride?

When are you planning on coming through? The Armament Museum at Eglin AFB is an interesting diversion and only a few miles out of the way.

Cruiser Posts: 53 Gotha, FL I just rode 49 from Hattiesburg down to gulfport and then rode the beach routes as much as I could over to Mobile. Not a bad ride and nice road. You can always stop at Pensacola to the Navy Avaiation Museum. There not much through the panhandle and 19 on south through Fl to Clearwater has some variety to it. Expect to see lots of pine trees.
