When coming from the north, your final stretch goes through a beautiful and very remote national forest. You won't have cell service, and there's about 40 miles without a gas station, so fill up and download some music ahead of time! The sheriff patrols this highway continually, so no worries if you get a flat or run into trouble.
That drive spits you right out onto the gulf. This is where cell phone service starts again : )
Your final 20 mins of travel rewards you for your patience and let's you see Florida's forgotten coast on your approach to SGI.
Once you get to the bridge, it starts becoming real. 5 Mins from your favorite week of the year. Take in the beauty, revel in the cell service and the businesses and beautiful scenery : )
As soon as you're over the bridge, our sign and water tower greet you. You're home for the week. World off, music on.
Once you're here...it's all good.
