We spent most of the morning visiting with Ray & Judy and drinking coffee. By about 11 am we decided that we would all drive over to the beach for lunch at Matanzas Inlet Restaurant where we had a beer the other day. John folded the top back half way and took the top half of the doors off before we left. As we were leaving we discovered an unannounced controlled burn right outside the campground. Judy needed to go back and get her dogs for fear that the burn might generate a lot of smoke which meant they followed us in their Jeep. We still ate at the grill which had excellent food. John pigged out on some of the best oysters ever. Then onto the beach where the dogs chased the waves and John and I did some power walking. Even though the day was quite warm inland, on the ocean the breeze kept the temps down by about 10 degrees.
These beaches are so wide and flat and hard that during the off season 4x4 automobiles are allowed to drive anywhere on the sand. Two pickup trucks thought they wouldn't have any trouble and got stuck. I think one truck got stuck first then the rescue truck got stuck. John, the Hero of the day, was able to pull both of them out of the soft sand and onto the hard pack.
