Yesterday we braved the cold weather and winds to ride our bikes down the beach again. This time the tide was really low so we made it around the tip of the island and tried to ride up the intra-coastal waterway to a bridge that would take us to the nature trails in the park. But that way was cut off by a stream. So we backtracked to the dilapidated house on the point and tried to use its driveway to get to the bridge but we were cut off by a ditch. Three times is a charm - so we followed several animal trails while pushing our bikes thru the brush when we came upon the path that starts on the beach right before the dilapidated house. Should have known it was there!!
The fishing pier at the nature center had interesting info about the inland waterways plus we saw an osprey and a blue heron.
The ride back against the wind wore us out. We spent the rest of the afternoon goofing off. At one point I went down to the beach to check out the waves. They were really crashing up on the shore pushed by a north-eastern wind.
Today we drove down the coast to Faver Dykes State Park just south of St Augustine FL. It's at least 10 degrees warmer here!! We might even get to wear shorts tomorrow.
Our friends, Ray and Judy from Colorado arrived today too. We had a great dinner and visit with them this evening.
