| On Friday, December 1, 2006, Mother Nature's Son and I walked from the west end of Pensacola Beach to Fort Pickens and back, stopping to explore the many World War II and earlier gun batteries. Storms had blown the doors off some of the World war II bunkers, so we could look inside. Saturday, we walked from the Navarre Beach Causeway to our hotel in Pensacola Beach. Both on Friday and Saturday, we saw lots of damage from Hurricanes Ivan and Dennis, such as roads and structures destroyed, etc. Sunday, we finished the bit between our hotel and where we finished Friday, then took a loop hike in the Naval Live Oaks Area of the Gulf Islands National Seashore, then finished our day walking Perdido Key to the ruins of the gun batteries there. I'd guess this was over 50 miles for the 3 days, with lots of interesting stuff to look at. |
