With all the outsourcing of jobs, it's important for every American to have a plan.  When I'm old and homeless, I'm claiming this gazebo on the Gulf of Mexico. It's mine. I'll be the old bearded guy with a fishing pole. This gazebo was near Steinhatchee, Florida. But, seriously, git. You go find your own gazebo!

Florida's Forgotten Coast

Florida's Forgotten Coast is an area of the Gulf Coast stretching from Steinhatchee around the Big Bend and west through Saint George Island, Apalachicola, and to the outskirts of Panama City.  It's a quiet coastal area dominated by natural beaches, marshes, swamps, and protected forest land.  The waters of the Gulf of Mexico are deceptively calm until a tropical storm or hurricane approaches.  My wife and I were fortunate to have the opportunity to ride out the worst of the recession in Tallahassee, Florida, and explore the area on weekends.  I've published our best pictures in a calendar for 2013.
