Episode 2: Florida

This trip is also squarely in the “I didn’t realize that I don’t take many pictures” era of my life, so you’ll have to forgive me for not having too many pics, and trust that I’m going to take more in the future. The most important thing here is that I have an overabundance of pictures of the star of my trip, that sassy pelican.

Just look at that bird. That’s a bird with secrets.

Just an optimistic young man, setting out to find the childhood home of a pro wrestling cult leader.

If I had one negative thing to say about the Snake Bight Trail (other than the heat and mosquitos) it probably would be that there really wasn’t much color to the foliage. It was mostly browns and greens, so when I came across this splash of red, it felt special and out of place; bringing to mind Bray’s line about being the color red in a world of black and white.

A very sweaty young man who made it to the end of the Snake Bight Trail, thinking sweet thoughts about a pelican he had loved and lost.
