This "beach trip" was unusual, as its ocracode shows:

OBX1.1 P5/6/4 L6 S12+b----c---- U10(mountains,freshwater,etc) T0 f0 b0 Rd Bb----m----n---- F+ SC----s--g0 H----f0i0.5 V+++s--m0 E-r--

Here are 4 generations of Hess's on a visit to the Bluff Mountain Preserve, which is not normally open to the public and has what is supposed to be the only fen in the southern Appalachians.

Also, I no longer have a car after that trip. I am, however, looking at various electric bicycles. As someone who hates being posessed by posessions, I'm happy that losing my car doesn't really bother me.

Oh, and Leo has kitty-laryngitis.
