Gulf Islands National Seashore

Hi All,

Hurricane Michael scrambled our plans to visit the Florida panhandle with all of the state parks we planned to visit closed indefinitely. Fortunately, the Pensacola area was spared serious damage. We rescheduled to visit Fort Pickens in the Gulf Islands National Seashore.

As we walked into the campground office a roar grew in the sky and all six Blue Angels flew by in tight triangle formation. Best campground greeting ever! Better yet, there is a show tomorrow at 2 PM.

Here we are on the talcum powder sand beach.

It is fun to look for places where the wind creates arcs in the sand caused by the sea grass.

There is a ghost crab down there excavating a new burrow.

How about a variety of bird prints. The giant one is a great blue heron. The tiny ones are sanderlings and the single medium print is probably a term or small gull.
Yes, we are in Florida but we are still 630 miles from Sanibel. More travelogues to come.

Love,
