Bahia Honda State Park (middle of the Florida Keys)
Mile 0 of US 1 which goes from Key West, FL all the way to the Canadian border above Maine!
This Key Deer (above) is about the size of a medium-sized dog. They are only found on Big Pine Key and one neighboring key.
Mike spent yesterday snorkeling in the Florida keys with a buddy from FLETC. Imagine the clear water and the variety of colorful fish they must have seen! At one point, they were surrounded by a school of at least 1,000 fish, making Mike feel as if he had become a member of the underwater world. One of his friends lives and works in that area, so today they plan to go out on a boat and leave their FLETC worries behind.
By the way, he has just 9 working days left at FLETC!!!
My job as the lead education ranger at Redwood National and State Parks is based out of the Wolf Creek Education Center. I've been through two days of training, and I'm enjoying it so far. The commute is a bit long, but there's not much traffic and the road follows the gorgeous coastline, so it's as pleasant as it could be. I plan to buy a prius later in the month, while trading in our gas-guzzling Explorer through the new government car rebate program (cars.gov).
So all is well in our lives. I'm readapting to life in northern California, and Mike is getting ready to finish up with his Georgian lifestyle. I wish we could fast-forward through the next few months, so that we could be living together under the same roof again!
Have a happy Independence Day!

The snorkeling trip in the Keys sounds AWESOME! Will you be sharing any pictures of it?
ReplyDeleteI heard a story about the Toyota Prius on NPR this week...sounds like the perfect car for you and your commute to work, plus what a great time to buy a new car with the government clunker incentive program.
