Route advice

Will be driving from Pensacola, FL to St George’s island. Has anyone driven Rt 98 along the coast through Panama City? Driving my Class A with a tow and wondering if it will be a white knuckler and traffic issues. We are trying to stay off interstates as much as possible to “see the real USA”. Put over 6500 miles the last couple months and lovin’ it…:.except the roads in Pennsylvania anyway.

We ran 98 from PCB to Perry (past SGI) several years ago pulling a Travel Trailer. It was a relaxing scenic drive. Not sure what it looks like west of PCB but I can't imagine it would be any problem.

it's a gorgeous drive...go for it! Lots of great places to visit along the "Forgotten Coast". Just Google view the areas you want to visit making sure you have the room to turn around and get out. St. Mark lighthouse may pose a turn around issue if you tow there. Carrabelle Beach RV Resort is beautiful...just across the street from a very nice, dog friendly beach. Since the oyster have flown the coup in Apalachicola, they have gotten very creative in the downtown district with lots of cool shops and a great brewery..."Oyster City Brewing Company". Be sure to try the "Hooter Brown". We parked at the end of Avenue D alongside Water Street. Again, Google view as the streets can be tight. Holiday Campground on Ochlockonee Bay is a gorgeous place if you can get on one of the first few sites along the bay. Bo Lynn's Grocery (historic place with huge history) is a do not miss in St. Mark's with an excellent seafood restaurant (Riverside Cafe) just across the street...on the water. Huge parking lot between them. Be mindful, it's still hurricane season along this coast and ingress/egress is limited so keep your ears on the tracks. My profile still shows Georgia but we've since retired to our home in PCB. We drive this route often...drive 50 miles, camp 2 or 3 days, etc. You can get lost in the 50's along this coast.
