Trip Comes Full Circle

After traveling about 15 months and probably six or seven thousand miles, my trip has returned to its starting point; as you can see, Panama City Beach, FL is pretty deserted in mid-November; this is me and my good friend Tish hard at work one beautiful day; I am the ugly one! The beach area is adjacent to St Andrews State Park, where I was camped; no oil here, but even so, tourism has really been hurt

Dreaded Sign
