2013 - Mar 01 & 02 Nothing on 3/2, Scrub-Jay Fest and Jupiter Island on 3/2

Friday, 3/1:
We did pretty much nothing today. Didn't take a single photo! Did a bit of grocery shopping and that's about it. Maybe tomorrow will be better.


Saturday, 3/2:
We started off the day by walking over to the Florida Scrub-Jay Festival which was held within walking distance of our campsite. The Scrub-Jay is the Only bird species unique to Florida. It lives exclusively in the highest and driest areas of Florida in habitat called "scrub" which has low shrubs, patches of sand, and few trees.

After attending the festival, we found a trail through the scrub which got us back to our campsite. On the trail, we saw an Osprey building a nest. Back at camp, we ate lunch and took a nap.

After the nap, we drove south on US 1 to Jupiter and stopped by the lighthouse and Museum. It was after 4:00 and the attendant suggested we come back another day if we want to take the tour, so we took some photos and headed for Jupiter Island.
Driving northward on Jupiter Island's Beach Road, we stopped at Blowing Rocks Preserve where we walked the beach trail and the beach.

After crossing the bridge coming back into Hobe Sound, we made a quick stop at Winn Dixie to pick up a gallon of milk. Back at the campsite, I started a wood fire and cooked some burgers. It doesn't get any better than this!
