Hallo Dennis,
als nicht Städte-Freak halte ich mich zu New Orleans mal besser zurück.
Als Routing-Fan kann auch ich dir die Strecke Tampa - New Orleans sehr empfehlen. Wenn du nicht in Eile bist, solltest du nicht die I 75 nehmen, sondern die US 19.
Das Meiste ist gesagt. Deshalb nur noch ein Hinweis:
Ein schönes Kleinod unterwegs ist Wakulla Springs. Tolle Dschungellandschaft (Tarzan mit Jonny Weismüller wurde hier gedreht) mit einem gewaltigen Quelltopf.
Hier ein Info aus
Map'n'Go:
Edward Ball Wakulla Springs State Park [in/near Wakulla, FL], jct. SRs 61 and 267. was known to early Seminole Indians for its plentiful wildlife and was believed to be discovered by Ponce de Leon in 1513, who claimed it to be the "fountain of youth." The main spring, with a water temperature of 70 F, is considered one of the state's deepest, having been explored to a depth of 300 feet. The maximum flow was recorded in 1973 at 1.2 billion gallons a day; in 1931 the minimum flow was measured at 16.2 million gallons. The average is 576 million gallons of crystal-clear water daily.
A popular "birding mecca," the park offers hiking, bicycle and nature trails as well as swimming opportunities. Narrated river cruises offer glimpses of a variety of animals in their native habitats, while glass-bottom boat tours provide views of fish, marine plants and mastodon bones. A free sight-and-sound filmed tour offers an underwater view.
Allow 2 hours minimum. Park daily 8-dusk. River cruises depart daily every half hour 9:45-5, during DST; 9:15-4:30, rest of year (weather permitting). Glass-bottom boat cruises depart daily 11-3 (only when the water has clear visibility). Admission $3.25 per private vehicle (maximum eight people), $1 extra for every person over the maximum. Glass-bottom boat or river cruise $4.50; under 13, $2.25. Phone (850) 224-5950.
