You live there & still don't know your way around?

Don, you live in Canada, do you know every place to go there? Do you
know everything to do there? Do you know every place do eat there? I
didn't think so. Because of your hatred, you're sounding quite dumb.

Dumb Donny doesn't realize that Florida is a big state. From Central
Florida to that corner of the state is 400 miles. Sheesh!

My daughter lived in Pensacola and later in Mexico Beach (Port St Joe
area). I have taken both routes many times (from SW Fla)
In a motor home I would certainly use the interstate. 98 will drag you
down some winding 2 lane blacktop. 98 is shorter but slower going.
Even coming out of Mexico Beach where there is no easy way to get to
I-10 without going out of your way, it is still faster.

thanks for the feedback.

Jim, sorry to OT you, but I just wanted to let you, et al, know that I got
my money back from Thousand Trails. It took a little prompting from the
Virginia Department of Consumer Affairs, but it's all back.

Which of the Passport America's do you use?

Glad you got out of 1000T OK

Just in case I can't find your Email addy., send me an Email and I will
give you a heads up on PA.

On the way, over.

Well, get your wife/mommy to write your name, address& phone number on a tag
to be attached to your shirt. You'll be ok...some kind soul will send you
home.

So? How long have you lived in Florida? I lived in the state for about
five years and visited all over it.

He's dumb - very dumb. Leave him alone and ignore him.

This, from the guy who lectures and critizes everyone about towing boats.
His experience consists of "hauling" a dinky little SeaPro behind a fairy
Ford Ranger "Splash".
He writes of his insistance on flying instead of driving or boating.

But now, he's an expert on road travel, towing a boat or driving an RV.

Holy crap, what an ass.

The trouble is that even if a structure is built to resist the forces
of a 200mph wind, it isn't practical to build one to resist the forces
of wind blown debris. Once you have compromised the wall, which is
acting as a diaphram to resist those wind forces with wind blown
debris, bad things start happening quickly.

---------------------------------------

Yep. The house we had in Florida was built in the late 90's and was
designed to withstand 150 mph winds.

The house structure was fine. But during one of the 3 hurricanes that hit
back in 2002-2003, the double door "French Doorway" opened during a gust.

The rest was history. Totally destroyed much of the interior, blowing open
three more double doors to the outside.

If the main, double door had held tight, minimal damage to the house would
have occurred.

I commuted on I-10 from Jacksonville to Tallahassee almost every other
weekend. Several times I towed my 19' SeaPro to the Panacea area. There
were hundreds of big RVs, buses, and trucks on I-10 highway all the
time. It's an easy, straight, almost hill-less drive.

I'll give you a C for effort on this one, though.
