You and David did a great job with capturing the feeling of the walk. Love you quick trek around the corner through water. Glad David had the camera ready:)<br /><br />Those biting flies can really wreck a nice day at the beach. Nothing but wind or walking seem to keep them away.<br /><br />We really enjoy Myakka SP. We don't stay there but go there with the bike group from Cortez when we stay in FL. I am always in search of Roseate Spoonbills and gators. Last year we saw the mother with five babies on her back in one of the side creeks.<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving to you and David:)John and Pam (ohtheplacestheygo.wordpress.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10853924678665624403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-90058032772642837342014-11-27T10:04:32.453-05:002014-11-27T10:04:32.453-05:00We're headed to the beach at Cayucos on Sunday...We're headed to the beach at Cayucos on Sunday and there is a possibility of a small storm. Seeing your pictures, I'm really hoping there is! I love the power and energy of a churning ocean, although I hate to be cold and will avoid getting wet when ever possible. You look 12 in those shots :-). So disappointing that the VC was a bust :-( That broad, flat beach looks like a concrete pad, it's so smooth! Sounds like the test kitchen was not only fun but productive - always better with the laughter of friends no matter what.Jodee Gravelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02247098923871155546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-90390056506671926512014-11-27T08:02:07.137-05:002014-11-27T08:02:07.137-05:00Stormy beach!

So I shall enjoy every minute of your travels. Be sure to post any free or near free campsites that you are able to locate. While the cost of state parks in Florida does not seem as great as some states, it would be great to find some folks that have found alternatives to less pricey camping to follow their blogs as well. I love yours though and will always be a tagalong :) klbexploreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294131539793643894noreply@blogger.com
