Beach Countdown

[OhioBeachBum]

I have very lucky

Helps if you hit Georgiana in the early AM on Sun while fuzzy bear is stilll in the doughnut shop (or about 5pm when he's getting back in the chowder line again :laughing1 ).
Seriously, that area just begs to be on a smokey and the bandit set, so I always just presumed Buford T. Justice was lurking around the corner and ran at SL minus 1 just to be safe...

BTW - Back from the beach. and it was an AWESOME week :clap_1:

What route did you end up taking from 65?

Our count down begins today, August 1st. Only 13 more days, less than two weeks and we will be back at seagrove beach! Don't like fried food but will miss our annual night out at the Wheel House with our boys and who ever else we drag along with us each year! Dunes of Seagrove Beaches look pretty good. I started packing already Were on our way! :clap_1:

If she's from Belleville, my bet is that they're going to head down I-65 through Nashville. I live very close to Imperial, and we've travelled both directions. Seems that the Nashville route may be a little faster. My son lives in Festus, and they take the Memphis (I-55) route because I-255 is going pretty much out of their way.

Sorry for the lag, just now catching up. 106 (exit 114 off I-65) through Georgiana, 31 south to McKenzie, 55 south from there to Anadlusia, then 137/189 and then 4 into Crestview, 85 south from there to Niceville and over the bridge. We've tried 55 down from Andalusia (more than once) and it's about an hour longer, 'cause it winds around. Also 331 down from Florala - that was even longer because of all of the slowdowns through the towns along the way. Given my (frustrating) past experience with 331 up there, I'm wondering if it might be quicker to do the 137/189 thing, then use 90 to get over to 331 & that bridge for 30A area.
