I will be taking Amtrak from Wash.,D.C. to Jacksonville, Fl. next month to begin a three week tour through Fl. I will literally begin the trip from the Amtrak station on Clifford Lane. Does anyone know of a relatively safe way to head east to the A1A (ACA Atlantic Coast Route)? Appreciate any input! I am a Warmshowers member too!

90 has shoulders from at least Greenville or Madison to Montecello and the mostlly to Tallahassee. Are you camping? I have some 'woods' 2 miles before Greenville a half mile off 90 if you like real dark quiet woods. Two old trailors there. Montecello is very pretty and one of the most 1940's type town in Florida. Some BandB's lots of small shops downtown on weekends. Good restaurant half mile west of courthouse on 90. Stop at the BandB for more info. or call me.
Sorry I did't notice you're going east (north Florida is quieter and lots of springs and clear rivers). But Jax Beach/Neptune beach are good neighborhood biking. Ocala forest has beautiful woods and Gainesville has a long rail trail. Otherwise AiA may be real busy but i haven't lived there since 1991 but assume it is busier now..
hire an electrician, i have no warm shower myself and this is getting really old. December 27 2009
