Cape San Blas Beach Walk with Company

4.45 miles; Port St. Joe, FL Some friends came down to Florida to stay with us, and this morning we went for a long beach walk. So interesting! There was a big storm last night, and lots of stuff washed up on the beach, including tons of jellyfish and something called “sea pork.” My friend […]

I could easily have done another 3 or 4 miles through here. And it was very cool—so many tracks: deer, possums, raccoons, coyotes…even pigs!  This whole preserve […]

I was rather disappointed, but the environment is still so different and intriguing that I can’t claim to be bored by it Two things in that write-up caught my eye about […]
