Hey, My Car Changed Colors!

Four Walls @FourWalls (86855) • United States 7 Feb 25

While I love Florida and traveling to see the beauty in the state, there’s one thing that bugs me. My car changes colors when I come down here in the winter. It’s got a disgusting yellow tinge to it now. Why? POLLEN. My nose...

Great Time Today

Four Walls @FourWalls (86855) • United States 6 Feb 25

Yes, today was “boring” by “traveling” or “tourist” standards. It was terrific by my standards, though. I stopped to see my aunt and uncle. My uncle is a clown. Really. He used to teach at the clown school in Florida....

Pretty Depressing

Four Walls @FourWalls (86855) • United States 5 Feb 25

Every morning I get a notification from the local TV station that they’re doing a live weather update vlog. Being the weather geek I am, I watch it, even when I’m 800 miles from home. I watched it this morning… It was pretty...

Good morning, everyone! I’m off to who knows where…just NOT Louisiana (because there’s a Superb Owl there this weekend). I wanted to start with a quick Linda OHio update. Here’s the most recent message I received from...

Lovely, Lovely, Lovely

Four Walls @FourWalls (86855) • United States 4 Feb 25

It’s no secret that I love water. Because of that, it should be no surprise that I loved the trip to Sebastian Inlet State Park today. What’s not to love? Beautiful water, quiet surroundings (despite the fact that dredging...

Yesterday, February 3, is known as “The Day the Music Died,” the plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, JP “The Big Bopper” Richardson, and Ritchie Valens in 1959. February 3 is also the anniversary of a forgotten act of heroism....

Bummer! (Not Really)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86855) • United States 4 Feb 25

While cruising down the Jimmy Buffett Memorial Highway (“strolling down the avenue that’s known as A1A”) I saw a sign for Fort Matanzas National Monument. Hey, I’ve never been there, so in I went! Fort Matanzas was a Spanish...

This Probably Got Me Kicked Out of the Steely Dan Fan Club

Four Walls @FourWalls (86855) • United States 3 Feb 25

First, an apology to @NJChicaa for referencing her second least-favorite band of all time. Sorry. At least you don’t have to listen to them (unless you want to! ). Steely Dan had that...

Be prepared: this discussion is boring. It’s about a WHOLE lot of nothing. You can’t go home again. (Thomas Wolfe) I stopped in Daytona Beach, my old stomping grounds on my way down the coast today. I found out that...

Some Things Never Change

Four Walls @FourWalls (86855) • United States 3 Feb 25

As I mentioned, I love St. Augustine. I suppose coming here as a child has a lot to do with that. The trolley tour started at the Old Jail (which offered free parking for the riders). After we finished, I looked around for an...

The Old Fort Never Gets Old

Four Walls @FourWalls (86855) • United States 2 Feb 25

How many times have I been to Castillo de San Marcos National Monument, colloquially known as “the Old Fort”? I have lost track. I can guarantee you, though, that going there never gets old. The Old Fort was built beginning in...

Catching Up: Camp Helen State Park

Four Walls @FourWalls (86855) • United States 1 Feb 25

Howdy! I’m in Jacksonville. I just took a relaxing drive today, so it’s time to catch you up with another state park I visited. Camp Helen is situated between Lake Powell and the Gulf of Mexico near Panama City. While...

If you’re keeping track, I’m up to four state parks in Florida (five total because Fort Morgan is a state park in Alabama). The first state park in Florida I hit was Big Lagoon State Park. Ooh, was that pretty. ...
