On his website he has a route map though he is well behind schedule and is changing as he goes. Such is the nature of a once in a lifetime trip.
I suggest if anyone interested in possibly meeting up email Scott in advance then he can see if it works for him.

Sorry about that...I'm not that hip to where everybody lives, so it's hard for me to give notice proactively (other than on the blog, where I've got the route-in-progress map going.) I will be coming back up the state after the Keys though, so maybe I can catch you guys on the way back?

No worries. I was out of town last weekend, so I probably could not have met up with you then. Robert living in Daytona surely could have met with you. What does your timetable look like? What return route from the keys will you be following?

The general plan was up the Gulf coast toward Wakulla Springs/Tallahassee, then north to Atlanta from there, but I may be able to zig east around Ocala or something. It'll be a couple weeks, regardless.

Scott continues to send up some really fine photography.

Pulled this one from his latest update.

Too bad there's a calender rule about repeat winners -- it's going to be very, very difficult to pick from this batch this epic excursion ...

Amazing photo's...Wormsloe's "Oak Alley" is real...Scott besides being a really nice guy with a beautiful roadster is also obviously a gifted photographer as every photo makes you want to visit the locations he catalogues. I live here and seeing it thru his lens makes me want to visit again.
