Today we entered the last state of our adventure - Florida. The ride today was beautiful, most of it along the Gulf coast. I learned what "sea oats" are and why they are important (the sand dunes build up on them). This area is SO beautiful (and SO much better than west Texas!!!!).....

We rode highway 292 into Pensacola, FL, home of the Blue Angels, and had lunch at the famous McGuire's Irish Pub with dollar bills (and bras!) all over the ceiling and walls. We rode along the Bayshore Parkway in Pensacola and hooked up with highway 90 and took that all the way to Milton, FL where we are staying tonight. The ride was just great -- perfect 65-70 degree temperature, clear blue skies, and lots of beautiful scenery (there are some really well-to-do people who have homes along this route!!!!).
Roadside finds today included a flip-flop and a pair of men's underwear. Don't see THOSE everyday!
Tomorrow we will head out to DeFuniak Springs where we will meet up with Dennis & Lyndsey Morris for a couple of days of riding companionship. After that, only 424 miles to go to complete this ride!!!!
