☀️Vagabond Tales- Beware! Sand Between His Toes Makes Him Crazy!

February 19, 2024 Topsail Hill Preserve State Park, Santa Rosa, Florida.

I bet you were thinking I was talking about Harry. If you did, I’m sorry, I was talking about Mr. Finn McCool. When he hits the deep sand and it packs between his pads…he gets the zoomies! Pictured below.

After all the rain and cold weather…maybe we all felt like going a bit crazy!

He doesn’t like sand for another reason…this sand holds a secret weapon…sand-burrs.

He will have the fur between his toes/pads trimmed before we go out into sandy places again. That should help!
He loves but at the same time is cautious of all narrow walkways on a trail.
Don’t you think it is interesting they decided to place a gator warning sign beside their resting bench?
Today we are so thankful for a sunny, warm day!
I mentioned these dune lakes located in the park. Costal dune lakes are very rare and are only found in Madagascar, Australia, New Zealand, Oregon and here in TopsailHill Preserve/ Walton County..

Each lake varies on the amount of salt content. There are 15 of these lakes in Walton County, Florida. When these coastal lakes get full they make a outfall, locally known as a blowout and the water goes into the gulf.

Other than the sand-burrs
this was a great hike!
Reflections, reflections!
Char, evidence of controlled burning
along the lower trunks of these trees.

This ended up being an over 12,000 step day. So thankful after all the windy, rainy cold weather!

Back at the campground…our little fisherman is on the hunt for a good meal. We have watched him/her every day.
