Every year we try to camp out at Fort Pickens for the weekend for Veteran's day. This year Vets day fell on a Friday, so, unfortunately we were not prepared and were not able to book our sites for the weekend. Luckily since we were all OFF on Friday, we decided we would camp on Thursday night for a modified s24o, dinner for Amber's 40th birthday, and some nice camp weather, fueled by a roaring campfire. It was the first decent cold spell of the season (for us anyway) with temps in the high 40's low 50's at night. We took our bikes with us knowing we'd be up with the sun the next morning. Jen had an appointment in the morning with her Doctor at 9am, so this coffeeneuring ride would be an early one, and a short ride.
Needless to say, once the sun came up it was beautiful. We rode straight to the beach down the pedestrian only deck, oops #sorrynotsorry :) on the gulf to get some photos and warm our bodies with a cup of instant coffee from the stoves, then down the one mile path to the fort, around the fort then back to the campground. Instant Folgers for Joe, Jen and I, while Amber opted for her tea. This short ride is always one of my favorites as coffee in the morning after a night of camping is always the absolute best!
