Signs

The snowbirds are starting to arrive and traffic on our peaceful little island increases. With this increase the number of people ignoring signs increases.

 The first warning is a generous 2 miles before the dead-end. Additional reminders continue until at Turtle Beach there is a huge sign ringed with flashing yellow lights.Finally, a last set of signs and gates which discourage those oblivious to the previous warnings. A very few, refusing to believe the truth - turn into our driveway, drive 20 yards and finally see the drop off into the water. I await the day that is not enough and hear a car splash.

First warning:

Turtle Beach warning:

For the totally clueless who must now execute a 3 point turn:

On the lighter side, we have discovered the Legacy Trail - miles of paved bike paths between Sarasota and Venice. Water, restrooms and even a couple bike repair stations. We enjoy riding to Venice Beach for a break in riding.

Because De Anne fears southern Florida might be too cold for her in January we have made plans to spend a month in St. Croix.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
