The next Pelican Meetup

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?
