This picture is of the Great American Loop. The loop consists of about seven thousand five hundernd miles of rivers and by ways. All in all there is about twentyseven thousand miles of rivers you can travel in the U.Us.Now that is a lot of water to go sight seeing on.
The Great American Loop starts at the Inter coastal canal waterway in Brownsville,Texas, then you will proceed east to Florida. This leg of the trip is about eleven hundernd miles by the ( ditch) that is what alto of folks call the Intercostal Waterway.
Here in the Florida panhandle is where you leave the Intercostal waterway and cross the Gulf of Mexico for about the eight to ten hours,that is depending on which port you go into. Here you will pick up the Lake Okeechobee Waterway and moving along to Key West Florida. When you make to Key West, I am sure you will be like us you will want to stay a few days and do the sight seeing thing. Just remember this should be a trip of a life time.
Now it is time to move on,so this is where we pick up the Atlantic Intercostal Waterway. We will travel this for about a thousand miles. I have read a lot about no wake traveling thru here and they really enforce it too. DOING THE LOOP IS NOT A SPEED RACE,IT IS A SLOW MOVING SIGHTSEEING TRIP. According to what I have read, to do the loop rite it should take two years if you do it the way it should be done.Well this should about the first year of travels, I am guessing.
Well until next posting have a great day,
Harold
