2012 Highlights

Marathon is our favorite place in the Keys in Florida, about halfway up the Keys.  While we were loading our kayaks one day his fellow came up to watch.

Kayaking in the mangroves.

Key West

Fishermen near 7 Mile Bridge

Lunch in Key Largo

When visiting Everglades National Park we were warned that Black Vultures sometimes eat the rubber around car windshields.  They had some tarps for visitors to use, but they had all been taken when we got there.  A ranger told us to park in the sun and we probably wouldn't have a problem.   We did and didn't have a problem.  The pictures are of Black Vultures, Anhinga, Aligators, a Green Heron and lastly the resident Crocodile. None were concerned about our presence.

And a Wood Stork

We were at Guanabanas Restaurant in Jupiter, Florida one day when everyone one at a table close by jumped and screamed.  It turned out that a squirrel had fallen out of a tree overhead and landed on their table.

There's a Turtle Hospital near Jupiter where I took this picture through a window of technicians repairing a damaged shell.

An Osprey nest off the Loxahatchee River in Jupiter

The Mississippi Gulf Coast near Biloxi.

We were at Guapo's Restaurant near DC and our daughter ordered a large margarita.  As a joke I ordered a large Corona.  The waiter brought me one.

We ran across this RV in Herkimer, New York

We spent a week in Long Lake, New York and really enjoyed that little town.

In October we traded the trusty Newmar Mountain Aire motor home for our toy hauler.

Christmas had us back in Key Largo, Florida
