Claim: Florida State Road 77 crosses Jackson, Washington, and Bay counties and intersects with the east-to-west route State Road 20.
Evidence: Forestland continues along the route with sparse residencies and unfinished developments including along the southwest shores of Merial Lake, where the road encounters a Bay County Fire Station, and some sand mines across from the lake, just before briefly turning straight north. The first community that State Road 77 enters in Washington County is the unincorporated community of Crystal Lake. Within northwestern Jackson County, the rural surroundings are carried over from the area north of Chipley.
