I have been along the beach in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and New Jersey on various vacation trips, but this will be a new experience. It will be interesting to see how it will compare to the Pacific Coast Highway trip that I did February- November 2022.   I decided to follow A1A to stay closer to the beach. I was ready for that view.  The Eastcoast Greenway has been in the works for years.  https://www.greenway.org/route-map    I missed the sunrise, but I enjoyed the view of the ocean.  The Crawfish Festival in April 28,29, 2023   Many beautiful homes in Brunswick.  On a nice quiet road. From years of camping I found that the sinks usually did not have a stopper. I brought along one to use to plug the sink. Then I bought a kitchen sink from Sea and Summit. I could wash dishes, my face, clothes in it. Then the scrubba came out. I sound this a better for washing clothes plus it can serve as an extra dry bag or water bladder.
As soon as I get into camp I like to set up the tent and get cleaned up. Getting fresh clothes and the road dirt off makes such a difference. I have been known to wash the clothes while in the shower and this also takes care of the rinse. I am sure that you will find the best method for your tour. I like to get the wet clothes in the sun to dry. I have also been know to strap the wet clothes on the bike in the morning.  It is nice to get into camp early enough to enjoy the setting.

  We went through many pastoral settings.  All the animals always look at us, Wait we always stop and we look at them. I guess we are both curious.  One of the springs in the State Park. These springs fill the rivers in the area. I was wondering about all these rivers that I passed.   Gainesville is the home of the University of Florida. I love touring a college campus and looking at the architecture.  On this ride there were two long trail rides. The Gainesville-Hawthorne trail was about 15 miles. Later we went on the Patalka-Butler State Trail which ran 12 miles.  Besides the trail I had a quiet road.  Patalka Lake Butler Trail    Remember to dip your tires in the ocean. Doing the Virtual Trip is the best I can do. I miss the hard stuff: rain, heat, cold, hills, bugs, hunger, thirst and many aspects. This does allow me a chance to get some feel what some riders experienced while they did the trip. I must remember that I did ride the 3098 miles. Now I will start another virtual trip. The temperatures will soon warm up and the snow will stop. These changes will allow me to get outside.
