Happy New Year's Eve from vacation

Hello, Mrs 40 and I are down in florida for vacation this week. This morning I took a frightening bike ride over the causeway to the beach. no wonder why no one rides bikes around here.. it's pretty f'ing scary w/ no bike lane. No surf today so we went out in the boat.

The in-laws live in a condo complex on the Intracoastal waterway which has a ton of these 'spoil islands' along it. These were made when they dredged the channel. Some are conservation land, others are open to the public for camping etc. Mrs 40s parents/aunts/uncles etc have their favorites to go out to and party. One is even named after her uncle because he goes out there and camps for weeks at a time. This one had a few campsites on it. Even had 'facilities'... crude but functional:
I can imagine why they want to camp out here for weeks... nothing but dolphins, birds, manatees, and mullet for company.Well, have a Happy New Year! -40

Nice Pics! Glad that you had fun- I am guessing that Snoopy slept the past two days straight after getting home like Maggie did once Snoops left? Or not...

BTW- no bike lane = bad...
