Found on the way up to Wolf Creek Pass in Colorado is this beautiful mountain reservoir. We were lucky to find calm water on a lovely day, as it can get windy.

It is nice living here but I would thrill to be as close to the ocean as you are.

We are really lucky that way as we are on a peninsula, so we have calm bay beaches and wild ocean beaches in easy reach. We are both very fortunate. ❌⭕️

They do mix well. Add to that cool, clean air, and wonderful booming thunder and it is a wonderland.

Thanks. I once lived in Florida when I was in the navy, 68-72, stationed in Milton, not far from Pensacola.
My son lived down by you from 2003-2006 and it was fun to visit him every winter. Mostly I love the Keys and have been down there many times.

The Keys are my favorite hang-out Mike, I get down there whenever I can stopping in to fun spots on the way. Tallahassee is as far as I have gotten in the Panhandle. The beaches are stunning out that way from what I have heard.

Well, the beaches were stunning back in the day. White sand, and very clean. What they look like now….who knows. Back then I was in a 7-11 and I swear the governor (Ruben Askew) came in shopping. I kid you not. It was surreal. I also saw the original Colonial Sanders driving out of the parking lot at a KFC. White hair, white Cadillac.

We moved to Destin in ’76 – a whole different world then. Sledding on cardboard down sand dunes, riding horses into the Gulf. I was back there six years ago and my heart was broken. You really can not go home again! More reason to adventure, yes?

Yes indeed. And there is no going home. Time has a way of eroding that which we remember from another time.

In 1996 I took my wife and son to a very special summer camp I attended in Canada when I was 12. The buildings were gone, but the contour of the land was the same and the smell from the trees was exactly the same. A wonderful smell that has never been duplicated. In that sense I was able to go home again.
