@Tattooed_mummy I met and worked with many #Burners via #DCMJ in #WashingtonDC back in late 2016 through summer 2017 and considering attending #BurningMan and other related events, including the one here in #SouthFlorida held on #VirginiaKey in #Miami.
I now believe the full Burning Man #festival should forever end as that's the only way to #LeaveNoTrace.

I've never been to #WeekiWachee, but as a kid we'd go to classic roadside attractions like #ParrotJungle, #MonkeyJungle, and the #Miami #Serpentarium (#BillHaast draped a large constrictor across my outstretched 10-year old arms - so awesome!)
We weren't allowed to swim at Miami Beach, but #VirginiaKey, the "#Negro" beach, was closer to all the fun (as an adult, I don't include the #Seaquarium in that).
