I just commented on an interesting editorial about our parks in the NY times. Timothy Egan has some great thoughts but he left out sailing in the Keys. Desert and mountains our great but;

“Don’t forget the hundreds of thousands of acres of Islands and waters of the Florida Keys, Biscayne and Everglades National parks. If you travel just a few miles from US 1 you are transported to a tropical marine environment like nowhere else in the United States or the world. My wife Margie and I have the privilege of sailing in these waters year round, enjoying the beautiful vistas, wildlife, and open spaces. Much of the “land” is covered by a few feet of water but still it remains “for you and me”.”

My Summer Home

Who needs a country house, with 530 million acres of public land that belong to all of us, year-round.
