What about Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama?
It's possible that we will fly for two hours at a stretch to re-fuel, sight see, and to stop to eat some interesting local foods.
I remember driving through Jackson, Mississippi and had Fried Sliced Dill Pickles for the first time. They were awesome. Haven't had any as good since.
We know about Lulu's at Gulf Shores, AL, but what is your favorite thing to eat there?
Thanks

Lambert's is in Foley, AL. They will pick you up at the airport. The food was great, but the whole experience of the Throwed Roll is fantastic. They don't serve breakfast, but lunch and dinner they're open.

ThrowedRolls.com Foley, AL
Jesse,
Anybody that has (10) RV-10's in their hangar ought to know what they are talking about.
Looks like we will be close to Foley, so we'll put that on the wish list.
Looks like they cook up some mean Mississippi fresh farm raised Fried Catfish.
Hog Jowl JLT? Hog Jowl loaded up on Texas toast with lettuce & tomato.
Chicken Gizzards, Chicken Livers, Beef Liver & Onions, Fried Frog Legs, The Bubba Fried Bologna Sammich....lots of Southern stuff to sample.
Gaining weight just thinking about it.
Thanks.

It's only 7 -10's and a -6A. 2 flew home this afternoon and another is getting off the truck in the morning. I think my 250lbs probably more qualifies me to recommend. It is a lot of fun.

No problem.
Now once in Florida and approaching New Smyrna Beach, I recommend a stop at Flagler County Airport (KXFL but soon to be re-identified as KFIN) for inexpensive fuel and great food at Highjackers Restaurant right on the airport. We love their hamburgers, their Mahi-Mahi sandwich, their homemade peanut-butter/chocolate pie and their homemade blueberry cheesecake.
RATS, now I am hungry again.

If you do make it to Destin and looking for some good seafood, Dewey Destin has been around for a long time as a local favorite. Although over the past few years they have gotten well known and now have 2 locations, their food is still very good.
Flying into Destin is fairly easy as long as you talk to Eglin AirForce Base. If VFR get flight following prior to reach Destin area and have them hand you off to Eglin . . . they are usually very nice and will let you fly over the beach line at or below 500'. Very cool flight.

Cross City Florida was a great fuel stop.
had a minor mechanical prob there enroute to Sun and Fun that could have been a big delay, but the FBO there and the helpful folks at the duster outfit had us gassed and at Ace Hardware for a connector and on our way in short order. good food at a hotel in Cross City they recommended at the FBO too, and a crew car to get us there.

By the way, the VFR corridor is scenic and a piece of cake.
the ATC folks along the route are great, no issues with little airplanes and you might get to see F22s and F35s in and out of Eglin, possibly UNDER you, if your timing is right.
Also, if you should find it convenient to stop at X13, Carrabelle-Thompson Airport, the first hotel you come to on the way out of the airport has a courtesy car (a pickup), friendly folks, and free rides to a local (VERY local) establishment for chow. our experience in Carrabelle was nice.

Cross City & Carrabelle
Dan,
Thanks for a tip on some friendly and helpful Floridians. If we make it down to Cedar Key and Saint Aviation, we may check it out.
Carrabelle looks like a boater's and fisherman's haven. Wasn't aware of what they have to offer, so thanks for expanding ideas for our adventure.
