The Earl Of Egmont!?

The last week Before school started we decided to head down South to Fort Desoto, it was almost a 2 hour drive , we all survived it.
we decided to take the Ferry Boat over the Egmont Key, a little tiny once Inhabited Island, and home of Ft Dade and its ruins and the Egmont key Lighthouse ( i love lighthouses and the history behind them).Well before we set off for our trip i went to Geocaching.com to find some caching around the area, there were alot in the Fort Dade area so we printed them . I also Discovered that there were two Caches on Egmont Key FABULOUS!
so we packed some H20 and some snacks , Towels for the beach and sunscreen.and off we went...
Once we got there the ferry boat was leaving approx 20 minutes so we had no time to do the ones around Fort Desoto. in to the Ferry Ride we went what a great ride , the water was alittle choppy but best of all was the HUGE Tarpon Jumpin up out of the water next the boat ! it was awesome!.
once on egmont key we set out to visit Ft Dade which unfrotunatly is mostly Shambles now due to weather and some Vandalism..shame shame!..but never the less we enjoyed it , after the walk thru the Ft we headed down the path that not many took ( i think we were the only ones on the path that day) it was sooo very hot that day , but we were determind to get the two caches...Marc found the first one in the BUSH..

after that we headed back down the path to the other Cache which took us around in circles..we eventually found it and then we decided to explore the rest of the island..It was awesome From the Old Cobblestone streets, to the old picutes set out in front of what uses to be a building .
I love this place and plan on another trip there soon...

AGAIN?!

We had to go back and pick up the last stamp for the Trek ten Trails which ends in Sept, we had already visited Cooked Lake once , but we ( ME it was ME) for got take our books to get the stamp , so we went out two weeks ago and My Hubby went in on his bike thinking it would be easier ( more on that later)
well the other day he took his socks off and there they were, big red welts on his ankles just like the ones he got before going rootin in the woods...Yeah thats right he got Poison Ivy or Oak Will he EVER learn?
about riding his bike it was not easier , faster maybe, but just as out of breath as if he had done a 10 mile hike!
but on to bigger and better things and Hoepfully no more Poison anything!
