So you grew up in Florida, but

[goldmom]

Have you been to every corner of the state?

I've been all over, but have not ever gotten to Marco Island or the area in extreme SW Florida. I really want to visit some of the small islands down there. And I haven't been to Key West since the 70's.

Who here can say they've seen every bit of the state?

I’ve been everywhere in the state except for the Keys...and Captiva Island.

 

[GoNolesTX]

Paging Tribe...

Naples eh, you really want to venture to Collier County?

 

[DFSNOLE]

I can say I've been all over Florida. Grew up in WPB and now live in the western panhandle.
A lot of the travels came in the '80's when I was traveling playing softball.

 

[helmetnuts]

everywhere, fortunately or unfortunately....

 

[seminoleed]

Only missed the Keys, and somehow, never got to Pensacola.

 

[TC Nole OX]

I've been everywhere except Daytona Beach. Passed by on I-95 but never stopped. I haven't been to Key West since 1992.

 

[funksouljon]

Many places, but definitely not all. Have not spent near enough time in the Tampa area nor the extreme south west corner or everglades. Plenty of nooks and crannies all over that I will never explore. Oh, and I have pretty much only driven through Alachua County, no need to stop, Cafe Risque never held any attraction to me.

Everyone should be so lucky!

You're not missing much.

 

[coloradonoles]

I can say I've been just about everywhere... Don't know that I spent much time in the Vero Beach to Stuart area.

 

[Oclawaha]

Pretty much from one end to the other. Pensacola to north of Jax to Key West and just about every county in between.

 

[TC Nole OX]

Also never been to Everglades City. I am going to stop there in late March on the way back from Cubs - Marlins game and pick up some stone crabs. Hopefully they have some by then.

[cgj0198]

I have south and central florida covered. Other than Tally not much of the NW FL. so never been to Pensacola or Panama City.

 

[Nole-4-Life]

Bout the only place I've never been is Fernandina.

 

[Formerly Rockymtnole]

Now sure how anyone can really see "everything."

 

[Bill From Tampa]

I have been everywhere in this state from Pensacola to Jax down the east coast to Key West and up the entire west coast in addition to traveling through the middle of the state from I-10 down to Alligator Alley. I have driven the state so much I can tell you with pretty good accuracy the approx drive time and/or number of miles many cities and towns are from my house without consulting things like googlemaps.

Ive been to every county and probably every town in Fl.

Coolest places- Springs around Ocala, Keys, Amelia Island, 10'000 islands
Sketchiest places- Belle Glade, Liberty City, Little Haiti
Weirdest Places- Gibsonton, Miccosukee Res, Branford

 

[seminole97]

If that doesn’t throw up the Tribe Bat Signal, nothing will...

 

[SeaPA]

I have a brother in law who's certainly seen more of the state than the vast majority; he worked for a number of years for the state as a bank examiner & while doing so spent a lot of time on the road. He's spent time in every county in the state & jokes that he's pretty sure he's been in every city in the state.

I've spent at least a little vacation time in most general areas of the State, with the exception of the southwest & the everglades.

 

[89nole]

At 50 pretty much covered the state. Never been to Steinhatchee always have been curious.

 

[Fijimn]

I feel like I have been to a lot of Florida during my 4 years in Tally. Because I didn't go home much and stayed most of every summer, I was always tagging along to someone's home. Ex-GF was from Palm Harbor, so saw a lot of Tampa/St. Pete. Lil bro was from Jax, so went to NE Florida often. Even got to party on Star Island off Miami Beach. Not real familiar with the southern tip and west coast south of Sarasota.

 

[KitingHigh]

Been to all of the coast, if you count land side and water side from a boat. Been to much of the state but really only explored a fraction of it.

 

[OrlandNole]

I've been to every county in the state except for maybe a few of the more obscure ones in the panhandle. I had a consulting contract with FDOT years ago that sent me to several counties that I might not otherwise see - Hardee, Henry, Okeechobee, Glades, Highlands, DeSoto - definitely some unique places.

Living in Florida and not visiting the Keys is like getting a nice, big hearty sandwich and only eating the crust.

My late Mother in Law's boss owned Al Capone's former home on Star Island. He gave her several pieces of furniture that were original to the house. I have one of those pieces in my living room.

The house had fallen into disrepair by the 60's and since those islands are artificial to begin with, sinking and settling were always problems. The original high walls around the estate had places at the top like gun turrets, where Al's bodyguards could take care of any "problems".

You should try and make it. Great fishing. Old Florida right there.

 

[Dr. Nole]

Been there, done that...and I’ll never go back to New Port Richey

That's cool. It was 1994. We were down there for the FSU v. Miami game (or what I called the Warren Sapp Bowl). I had no idea what Star Island was. Friends dad lived there and we go over for brunch, brunch party. All I remember was the dad saying that someone like Stallone or J.Lo lived next door and they were planning to come over. So every time the front door opened, I thought it was somebody famous.

Stallone lived in the Grove at that time and I don't think J Lo was "famous" at that point. You were probably looking at Gloria Estefan, and maybe some pieces/parts of Miami Sound Machine.

 

[LandsharkNole]

Look up Captain Josh’s “I’ve been everywhere-in Florida” think it’s on Spotify.

That’s a fun list of cities to check off

Probably so. It was a fun party, probably should have stayed instead of going to the game. That was not a good night for Danny K. and Warrick Dunn.

 

[Random_John]

I've been all over this weird, hot, hell hole...Even Pensacola. The only real stop I haven't made is the keys. I've been up and down the left and right coast, the gulf coast, and our states lovely catheter of I-75 and turnpike.

 

[LesClaypool]

Neat little place. Went once and stayed w/some friends on the water and went scalloping.

 

[GwinnettNole]

Never went to Key West or the Fort Meyers area. Love the state still, wish I was living there at times but it’s been 20 years. The primary reason for wanting to live there really is to get my kids into FSU.

At least I visit often.

 

[Bill From Tampa]

Fishing village.

 

[F4Gary]

Lived in Key West, spent a week in an RV park in Pensacola, and have spent a day in Fernandina, so I guess that covers it.

 

[TPANole]

Pretty much covered the state. Grew up in Miami when it was a great place to grow up there. FSU for college. Naples in the 80's. Always had a boat so covered the west coast for fishing. Many trips to the Keys. Family in Pensacola, now live in Tampa with a "fishcamp" in Stuart. Business took me to many of the small towns all over the state including some where tractors outnumbered cars.

Every corner. Wifey said we can take you on the boat to tour Marco and beyond. Let us know when you are ready.
