The next Pelican Meetup

[Heel n Toe]

While following Hurricane Ian on https://www.ventusky.com/ I spied the name of a location in Florida that inspired thoughts of fun, frolic, and merriment for a Pelican meetup.



Of course it was obviously under duress at the time, but I'm confident it will be cleaned up by the time we need it. And such a fun sounding name just cried out for a meetup and I know Byron could put together a rockin' good time with a band, a beer truck, and dancing babes.

So I went to Google Earth for a closer look.



It looks a little run down, but it has possibilities and there's a huge positive: we wouldn't have to clean up when we're done. What do you think?

I like the idea of a place named Desert Inn in the middle of Florida.

Always stopped there for Gator Burgers and Butweisers on our way to Vero Beach.Full of stuffed rattle snakes, Indians, hanging spiders. Actually quite an interesting place! At one time Desert Inn was on the register for historic places. I believe it was hit and demolished by an 18 wheeler a couple of years ago

Sadly, it was.







We had a great time in St. Augustine.

It was converted to a drive-inn right before it closed!
