Sat, Mar 25, Jonathan Dickenson SP, Jupiter, FL:  Late morning we drove over to the Blowing Rock Preserve on Jupiter Island. This is one of the things I love about Jupiter Island. Even though this is home to the mega rich and multi-million-dollar mansions abound, there is still a lot of undeveloped land. Blowing Rock Preserve is one example. The beach here is unique because there are these rocky outcroppings near the water—part of a strand of Anastasia limestone. We walked a little trail that used to be A1A and then returned via the beach. I got my shoes wet and full of sand. A beautiful day for this little sojourn. Drove out the Hobe Sound entrance and had lunch at Scooters again. Back to our site and sat outside reading for a while. Burt Reynolds lives just across the road from the entrance to this park. All you can see is the gate and a drive which disappears into the foliage. His house is on the water, which is part of the intercostal. Upper 70s today with a pretty good breeze.

Beautiful man, beautiful picture!




The beach looking north. No sign of human habitation...no high-rise condos, no homes visible at all. Love it!

Love the sea grape!
