Weekend Trip To Panacea, Florida For The 4th Annual Mighty Mullet Maritime Festival
My wife and I drove down to Panacea, Florida for the 4th Annual Mighty Mullet Maritime Festival and had a very nice time. Some nice bluegrass music, plenty of craft vendors, food vendors and other vendors. No mullet ironically. Of either kind. I guess if there were any fish of the mullet kind it sold out. I saw no mullets of the hair kind at all. Since we were only a block or so away, my wife and I decided to visit the Gulf Specimen Marine Lab as well. We’ve driven by their signs along U.S. Hwy 98 for years and never visited. We enjoyed ourselves and got to view their aquariums filled with sharks, fish, rays, crabs, etc. We capped off our visit with dinner at Hook Wreck Henry’s Dockside Café which was only a short distance from the lab. Good seafood. I highly recommend the place.
I’ve uploaded several photos of our visit to Panacea on my Panoramio.com account along with some photos of a unique collection of rusted out old automobiles next to U.S. 319 in nearby Medart, Florida. It’s not like it’s a bunch of old junked cars from a junkyard scattered about haphazardly. Instead it’s obvious that they were arranged specifically there many, many years ago. They’ve been there as long as we’ve live in this part of Florida which is now going on 22 years.
Anyway, feel free to visit my Panoramio.com account to view the photos and please leave comments.
