About Us

The Founders

Scenic 98 Coastal is a labor of love for the area itself and the experiences my wife, Linda, and I have enjoyed throughout our entire lives. The iconic US Highway 98 that runs west to east along the Gulf of Mexico’s coastline is unique in so many ways. To say we have lived an enchanted life here is a huge understatement. It almost seems unfair at times, but we wouldn’t trade it for the world.

Our purpose in starting a weekly newsletter about the area and all it has to offer is so others, many new to the area, can enjoy their time here and enhance all that the area we call Scenic 98 Coastal has to offer. And that’s a lot! We hope each week that our subscribers will gain a little insight and appreciation, as well as a greater understanding into what makes the coast so special.

A little about Linda and me… we both grew up in Mobile, attended schools together and spent summers “across the bay.” We’ve never taken this area for granted but maybe we didn’t truly appreciate how special the coast of the Gulf of Mexico was until we moved away for college. Over the years, we been to many wonderful places, but this is home. We still enjoy exploring all the areas along the coast from New Orleans to Apalachicola and do so often. We want to share with others what we know and what you know, as well as what you want to know!

Thank you for reading,
Zeb & Linda Hargett
