Yankeetown, FL

ODOMETER: 81,046  | MILES TRAVELED: 3,101

 

by Grant

This morning, we headed back to the Withlacoochee Gulf Preserve for a run/ride. It is a beautiful morning and we did a couple of laps through the trail system. The Spanish Moss is absolutely superb here, draped from trees throughout the preserve. 

We climbed the observation tower and got a tremendous view of the preserve and beyond. This is a tremendous resource in this community and people come here to fish, gather driftwood, run, ride and walk.

That afternoon, I had to go to the Department of Transport to finalize registration of the Jeep. That took up most of my afternoon, but I got back in time to go for a paddle at Bird Creek Beach with Jana. It’s almost sunset so the light is magical.

Jack got some drone photos and Jana set up a family photo which we’d like to take more of. We’re in all these amazing places and don’t have a visual record of the family visiting all these cool spots.

The sunset is absolutely extraordinary and there are a few people with beach chairs set up to watch this magical light show.

It’s back to the RV, more Mario Kart and general hilarity.

We climbed the observation tower and got a tremendous view of the preserve and beyond.

You live your truth with a courage that inspires all of us. Your creativity is captivating, lifting the spirits of those who witness it. We admire your dedication to your own art and your profound connection to music, film and art in all forms.

Your unwavering selflessness, kindness and compassion are strengths that move quietly but profoundly, touching lives in ways you don’t always realize. The warmth and care you extend to others is a true reflection of your being. It’s a gift to watch you uplift those around you, always consciously mindful, always compassionate.

As you continue on your artistic journey, know that we are with you, supporting you always. We believe in your art, unlimited by commercial constraints and free from the mainstream’s narrow definitions of success. Your authentic vision, your voice, and your perspective are important and needed in this world.

Keep following your passions. Keep being you—because who you are is truly a gift to this world. Here’s to more years of creativity, joy, and the pure expression of your true self.

We love you so much, Jack. Happy 20th Birthday!
