Around 1700 miles in our Magic Bus from home in New Hampshire to our winter home down in the Florida Keys at the Federal Key Deer Refuge on Big Pine Key.
The area has really taken a strong beating from hurricane Irma. Trees and plants are dead and broken. The roads are lined with huge piles of debris. The place were our campsite is has several houses that housed staff that have been totally wrecked and condemned. Lynda is upset that the washers and dryers that we used in those buildings are trashed. One negative about living here is the high cost of everything. She did a small load of wash at the local laundromat when we got in for $12. We will be hand washing some things for sure. But I can say we both are glad to be back and will surely enjoy the season as we did last year. By the way it’s 80f out. Tee shirts, shorts and crocs the every day uniform 😎
Blue green water looks great
Our bosses and friends personal island, Frank and Monica
Sample of the carnage from Irma
Our site
All these vehicles are trash from the salt water
These dwellings for staff will have to be knocked down.
Our site, we live it😎😎🐾🐾
On the old bridge that’s parallel to the new 7 mile bridge an Australian Pine took root. People have named it Fred and it survived Irma. Here is a group that arrived by boat to decorate it for Christmas.🎄
Just getting the chance to look at the blog and the pics. Wow. Devastating what the hurricane did. Makes me think of Puerto Rico. They are really beat up and still don't even have power. wtf. Glad you got there safe. I love Fred the Tree, that is great!
