Henry the Lion and his book

Your TB made it to the southernmost tip of the continental USA!!!!!! AWESOME!!!!! It’s been a beautiful drive down through the Keys to get here. I think I am especially surprised at how big this last island is. I’m very glad the monument is back and restored after being damaged by the hurricane last year. It is quite the site to be seen. We parked a couple blocks away since that was as close as we could get to the spot, then when we got to GZ, there is a long line of people waiting to get their picture with the monument. So Super_Nate waited about 20 minutes in line while I grabbed some shots of all the TBs. People were very nice about taking pictures for each other and we turned out with some very nice pictures!
We then dipped our feet into the water so we could be in all the corners of the USA waters.

This was a load of fun!!! Another way that geocaching gets you to the best places! We grabbed the cache, it’s a nice size. Then we walked around the little shops and bought a few items. I was tempted to buy a hermit crab!! Haha
Then we walked over to the pier and about had a heart attack about how big those fishies are!!!! Jeepers! Super_Nate couldn’t help himself and had to feed them. They almost look like little sharks when their fins pop out of the water. He was really good about feeding them and not freaking out and dropping the fish, that meant that he actually got the fish to jump out of the water to take his fish. One fish even swallow a bit of his hand in the bite. Thankfully no teeth!!!

Well... my logs are probably going to get boring now... Super_Nate and I are certainly missing our fun cruise even though we have only been off it for a few hours. Sure hope your TB enjoyed the trip with us. I will do my best to find it the best and safest cache to leave off at.
Our Lyft driver was the one who recommended going to Wynwood, so we stopped by here and was rewarded with a neat area. This is the art district and they aren’t kidding!! There is art in every building and most of it is majestic. I think I even smelled fresh paint as we were walking by. This was good sized cache tucked in a tree near one of the restaurants.

So now that we have come out of the forest trail, we are biking right along the ocean!! Sadly these beaches are covered in the red seaweed. Also the red seaweed dies and is washed up on shore, this causing a nasty stench as we biked along. The beaches are the rocky type, so it is cool to see gentle waves cashing up upon the rocks, not as violent as CA rocky beaches by a long shot though.
After biking along for what seemed like forever... we found a nice spot that appeared to have much less red seaweed. Nathan and I went for a dangerous dip, keeping our chacos on to keep our feet from being cut up because the rocks are super sharp and jagged. It was a pile of fun but we didn’t stay in the water long since it took all strength not to be knocked against the sharp rocks once we were in the water.
I did a little tide pooling between waves and saw some sea anemone, sea snails, chitons and a very large crab!!!! He was tucked way under a rock, so I couldn’t get a picture.
The cache was a little ways down the road from there, but we grabbed it in ease since we felt quite a bit refreshed from the swim.

At this time we are still enjoying our electric bikes on the cool side road just for bikes! Super_Natr managed to relax pedal free on his bike and just glide along... but I’m not that talented.
This cache place is a hoot! You will just have to there yourself to read all the fun signs everywhere... mercy! It was a quick and easy find with a lovely view out over the waters. That was nice since our bike path is kind of traveling through the jungle right now and not along the beach. The staff were very friendly and it looked like a fun hangout place for all.
