I am in awe of your directions! Are you familiar with the "Troy Cutoff?"

If you're going to Destin or PC from Atlanta, you can take the 'Waugh" exit - to the left off the ramp, then right on the access road along the interstate. Left at the top of the hill on Pike Road. Slow down and enjoy the view on that trek.... through upscale horse farms and historic crossroads. Wonderful during foaling season... all the colts bounding around in the high grass... OK... I digress... take a dog leg at Hwy 82 and go south on 231.... in Troy, take a right on 167 to Enterprise, then take the bypass South; take a left on 79... take it to Hwy 98. You're in Panama City.

Whew! That was hard. Beautiful road, though.
