On the Road is a weekday feature spotlighting reader photo submissions.
From the exotic to the familiar, whether you’re traveling or in your own backyard, we would love to see the world through your eyes.
Good Morning All,
This weekday feature is for Juicers who are are on the road, traveling, or just want to share a little bit of their world via stories and pictures. So many of us rise each morning, eager for something beautiful, inspiring, amazing, subtle, of note, and our community delivers – a view into their world, whether they’re far away or close to home – pictures with a story, with context, with meaning, sometimes just beauty. By concentrating travel updates and tips here, it’s easier for all of us to keep up or find them later.
So please, speak up and share some of your adventures and travel news here, and submit your pictures using our speedy, secure form. You can submit up to 7 pictures at a time, with an overall description and one for each picture.
You can, of course, send an email with pictures if the form gives you trouble, or if you are trying to submit something special, like a zipped archive or a movie. If your pictures are already hosted online, then please email the links with your descriptions.
For each picture, it’s best to provide your commenter screenname, description, where it was taken, and date. It’s tough to keep everyone’s email address and screenname straight, so don’t assume that I remember it “from last time”. More and more, the first photo before the fold will be from a commenter, so making it easy to locate the screenname when I’ve found a compelling photo is crucial.
Have a wonderful day, and enjoy the pictures!
Enjoy, if you’re not bleary-eyed from binging on one too many new episodes of Stranger Things.
And a week from now, the WWII-themed Call of Duty comes out.
There’s fun about for us adults these days, though these examples may not be your ken,
Have a great weekend, everyone!
Today, pictures from valued commenter jayboat.
Some photos from Florida’s Forgotten Coast- that area east of Panama City that includes Port St Joe, Apalachicola, Carrabelle and others.

Somewhere between here and there.
Thank you so much jayboat, do send us more when you can.
Travel safely everybody, and do share some stories in the comments, even if you’re joining the conversation late. Many folks confide that they go back and read old threads, one reason these are available on the Quick Links menu.
One again, to submit pictures: Use the Form or Send an Email

St George Island is a favorite! Carrabelle is just beyond it and Dog Island is across the bay. St George is very dog friendly and the are forbidden on Dog Island!

Love that area, especially St. George Island.

This is a really nice gift book.
Saints of Old Florida is about life along the Florida Panhandle. Particularly the more undiscovered areas of Port St. Joe, St. Vincent’s Island, Indian Pass, St. George Island, Apalachicola, St. Teresa, and St. Marks.
These coastal towns are indeed the “Saints” mentioned in the title – as they were all named by early Spanish settlers to the area. However, the most important
“saints” here are the many saintly things we cherish daily. A dozen raw oysters, bare feet on pine porches, dinner together around our tables, and nights spent too long at beach bonfires. In short, these experiences are the true “saints.”

@raven: Looks like an interesting book! When I lived in ATL I went to St. George several times, unfortunately now it’s too far of a drive.

Beautiful pictures jayboat! Didn’t know you were a pro. Love the motel sign one especially, evokes a Travis McGee novel.

We’re talking about doing a scramble around the gulf side for a week on an “Old Florida” trip. Small old hotels, tiny towns.

@eclare: We’ve been going to Seagrove on 30A for the last decade since our friends have a house that we rent. The beach and water are prettier but it’s WAY more crowded. We are going for 10 days at Thanksgiving.

More tales of how different things are now that we live in England. DH went to the Doctors for the first time this week cost? 0 He went to pick up his prescription meds yesterday, five meds, two months worth, because of his age (over 60) cost? 0 Not having to ever worry about medical costs again? PRICELESS!

@Raven: That’s a nice place too! Last there about ten years ago.
Baud
Neat photo effect. Thanks.

Jayboat,
Your pictures look like postcards.
Very cool ?

@Raven:
A quiet beauty in that picture.

@rikyrah: Between my pups and the sky there it’s pretty easy.

Very striking pictures, but I think you (or your camera) may have overdone the HDR.

@Raven:
Love your little buddy, but that sunrise is spectacular!

I think I might actually try to go to Florida this winter. I’d like to visit some relatives I haven’t seen in a long time. These photos are so pretty, Jayboat.

The motel sign is the epitome of Florida
