Tuesday Jan 17


Today we traveled to South Point and Green Sands beach.  On the drive out we passed a defunct wind farm.  A new one further in the distance is up and running.
 South Point is the southern most point of the United States.  I can't not believe people still launch boats from the high cliff.


To get to the Green Sands beach we had to hike in the heat for about 1.5 hours with no break from the sun but it was worth the effort.  The beach had green sand and beautiful blue water with an enjoyable break.  Fun and laughter, my favorite place to swim yet.  There were plenty of other tourists there but we did not let this bother us.   



There was plenty of trash in the coves along the beach, sad and painful to walk by them.  The locals who are driving all wbout the dunes should take better care of the area. 

After the hike we went out for beer at the southern most bar in the US.  No need to stop, it was not anything special.  The beer was medioche.   
Another fine night at Whittington.
