South East Adventure Trail - S.E.A.T. - Days 1-2 - Florida

Days 1-2 of my solo 9-Day journey around the main loop of the South East Adventure Trail in May 2023. This adventure trail was routed by NorthernTraveler about 10 years ago and is available on AdvRider.com at https://www.advrider.com/f/threads/se....

I'm riding a 2013 Suzuki DRZ400S setup as a lightweight Adventure Bike. For more info on my setup, visit    • Suzuki DRZ400S Adventure Bike Setup w...  .

I began in Fort Walton Beach, west of Marianna in the Florida panhandle and joined the SEAT track in Marianna, FL. I followed the main loop, skipping the short section down to Carrabelle, FL through Tate's Hell State Forest, the Savannah, GA extension, as well as the sections that extend up into NC, TN, and VA. Once I got to the Apalachicola National Forest, I somewhat followed the daily section breakdown that NorthernTraveler has for the routes with some variations to reach the campgrounds I chose.
