Thanks to all for all the links and info.

Let say that I don't like to sleep in truck-stop or Wall-Mart parking lot, I
have a very light sleep and I wake up at the sound of a leaf falling down...
and I jump to the sealing each time... I did it a few time last year when
travelling to Mexico because I had no choice, I didn't get much sleep each
time so... driving the next day for 10 to 14 hours was a nightmare. Am going
south because am dead, I need some relaxing time on a beach, that's it all I
want for this year, last year was a race and a stressful trip, I came back dead.

I don't really care about 35$ to even 50 a night if it's nice and quiet, all
I want is a nice spot when I can stay for at least a week, make a nice fire
and go on the beach or see some gators....

I found some great state park on http://www.abfla.com/parks/maps/alpha.html

Am just amazed how expensive some private campgrounds are, ocean side 100USD
a night!!!! Like someone else said, I better take the plane and go to any
southern small country like Dominican Republic.

But I have a Westy... and I want to use it. Am going alone and it's gone a
be a good time to relax and reflect on life...

Am sure FL must still have some nice quit spot to camp near the ocean. Am
gone a find theses. If not, am gone a go elsewhere.

I don't do more than 400-500 miles a day when travelling alone so it's a
good 3 days going south. If I don't break anythings................

Cheers and thanks
