There are a lot of possibilities in FL.
Destin/Ft Walden is a very cool place...some of the WHITEST sand I have EVER seen!!! The place we used to stay was a barrier island called Navarre Beach...a few years ago though hurricanes really tore the place up...I don't think many folks have rebuilt...it is slightly west of Destin...

Early next year NASA will be launching the next GOES satellite which has two of my weather sensors on it that we build...it is launched from the Cape via a a Delta IV rocket here's a link to the last launch on May 24, 2006 http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/go...ain/index.html

No 'firm' date yet for the GOES O launch but NASA is 'thinking' next spring or early summer...it would be cool to be there for that...but I'm not expecting that to happen!

The reason I suggested Destin/Ft Walden is becuase they have one of the best campgrounds - Top Sail Beach.

You been there Joe? I've been wanting to go.

[QUOTE=X_Hemi_Guy]Matt,

THANKS! Here's one back to you!

I picked that up out in the OBX this summer...the flag pole is a fiberglass extendable one. It can telescope to 22' as is shown in my photo. Or if I am in wooded sites with trees above...I can partially extend it...it works out very nice!

Sorry I didn't respond last night...I had too many morgan's and cokes and this old man fell asleep in the chair!
QUOTE]

If i had a TT, i will deff put that flag on mine to U seem like your having to much fun with those morgans. But dont forget morgans and any other beer = Big beer belly, especially if u drink it and then go right to sleep. no such a good recipe


Everyone should put out ideas for a east coast spot to meet and ill make a East coast thread. For one , cedar point will be a choice in the East Coast Thread.

I've posted this picture before...I drink WAY more than I should...I'll be the FIRST to admit that...but I also work out all the time too...I get up at 5:20 every morning to ride the exercise bike and lift weights at night...plus...you have to realize that in July of 2004 I spent 3+ MONTHS in a level 1 trauma center following a very serious motorcycle wreck (alcohol was NOT involved)...I've had 15 abdominal surgeries following that wreck and am going in for number 16 next month...can't you tell from the picture of my beer belly!

O that sucks. When me and my dad were dirt bike ridding he rolled his bike over him. The funy thing is his own Fire Dept came and got him. When he got back to work they keep telling him " Rember the time when we saved your as* off that hill"

I have a hard enought time lifting my lazy a$$ out of the bed to go to work - and they pay me! I diffinately ain't gettin' up earlier to go to the gym - it's just not my thing, I have to much invested in my gut to give it up.
