Florida - South Carolina trip, June 2000
The month of June was consumed in grand travel plans from Tampa to Talkeetna ostensibly to celebrate Carol's big birthday but hey, any excuse for a party :-)

Dinner with Joe & Reta in a great Greek restaurant in Tarpon Springs |
| What is a trip without a little shopping? |  |
|

Light at St. Augustine, Florida |

Old Sheldon Church ruins, Sheldon, SC One of General Sherman's fire casualties |
| Scott, Anne and I canoeing the Tullafinny Creek. Heard lots of things go splash but never saw a 'gator. Managed to portage over 2 fallen trees and under a third without falling in! |  |
 |
Yeah, we finally get to the beach!

Intercoastal waterway viewed from the Dahoo bridge to Edisto Island |
| Our condo was within an easy walk to the beach. The water must have been in the 80s with almost no surf. Ideal for swimming or just floating around. |  |
| Shrimp boat coming in on Big Bay Creek escorted by seagulls |  |

On the dock waiting for sunset |
| Sunset over the Edisto marina |  |

Carol met CrabMan Joe, (the local fisherman) and we soon had lunch boiled up and ready to eat. |
