Spring Fed


Gulf shore, Naples 

Injury and an exacting, mercurial work schedule kept Danielle sidelined, recreationally speaking, this spring.  Nevertheless, cool weather in south Florida is short-lived and I rushed to get outside before the humidity and monsoons returned.  Paddle boarding with friends (and their kids), floating gin-colored freshwater springs, and "mountain" biking.  Granted, Florida is the flattest state in the union, but the tailings of rapacious phosphate miners and the ingenuity of trail builders makes for surprisingly fun riding.
