Six Thousand Miles of Back Roads Part2
Above all traveling six thousand miles on backroads across 15 states in sixty days is a mega trip and I’ll tell you all about it in Part 2 of this series. Details in Six-Thousand-Miles-Backroads-Part2-Bob Davis Podcast 1136.
Florida
Firstly we’ll start in Florida.
Where the most compelling evidence for over crowding and over development is getting kicked out of a state park…
Of course not to mention the traffic…
And expense of the so called Sunshine State.
Secondly take Florida off your travel list in season.
Undoubtedly Florida is overdeveloped.
However there are less populated and more quaint parts of Florida worth visiting and spending time.
Georgia
Hence we move on to Georgia
Certainly the Saint Simons Cumberland national seashores are beautiful.
For example Jekyll Island, Saint Simons, and the rest of the Georgia Coast has a lot of history.
South Carolina
Then in South Carolina I discovered some great dusty beach towns.
But I am not going to name those towns because I don’t want to see them ruined.
Otherwise they are there.
North Carolina
Subsequently the North Carolina coastline was fantastic
For example highway 179…
and Ocean Isle Beach, Oak Island on out to the Carolina Beach.
Finally the Ferries are low cost and so much fun.
Thereafter-Emerald Island, Atlantic Beach and the rest of the Outer Banks.
Ocracoke Island
Especially Ocracoke Island.
In due time you get on Route 12 which goes all the way up to Kill Devil Hills.
All in all The national Seashores keep these areas from being over developed.
The Old Dominion
Afterward I headed to Virginia on some personal business.
Most importantly here is the fact that I lived in the Old Dominion State for ten years at one point.
And Virginia has some great back roads.
Eventually I left Richmond headed up 460 to Bristol, Virginia.
Tennessee
Presently I left Bristol for Tennessee. Details again in Six-Thousand-Miles-Backroads-Part2-Bob Davis Podcast 1136
By all means the best of the latter parts of this trip was the navigation.
Using GPS Doesn’t Make A Road Trip
It must be remembered that most people enter a location on their GPS.
Eventually hitting start and driving on the Interstate until the GPS tells them they have arrived.
All things considered using GPS on the Interstates just isn’t any way to travel for me.
Maps
To this end I love maps.
And navigating with maps.
Nashville
In short I navigated to the Nashville area without all the traffic.
Because Nashville is booming.
