(Posted by Kevin) You may wonder why we're here – in Miami, Florida – just about the farthest place in the U.S. from our home base of Portland Oregon. Nope, we're not snowbirds. And, if we were, this would be way too early to be leaving a place with Octobers…

As long as we've been on the road, we're still occasionally finding places that we think "I could stay much longer in this place." The Florida Panhandle is one of those places. I thought I'd show you a few of the houses here on the gulf coast, in case you…

Here's where we are now: St. Joseph Peninsula State Park in Port St. Joe, Florida. Our campsite is rough and tropical (but completely level!) and has a ton of space and privacy. Not all the spots in this campground are like that, but this one is. Love it. The beach…

We drove from New Orleans through Mississippi (Gulfport, Biloxi, Ocean Springs, Pascagoula), then Alabama (Mobile, that's about it), and into Florida (Pensacola, Gulf Breeze, Fort Walton Beach, Destin) and ended up at Grayton Beach.
