    Frank, those are from the video of the Helicopter Tour. They were on page 33 of this thread, but I moved them to their own thread so they're easier to find. The snaps off of the video don't even do justice to how beautiful the colors really were. If anybody takes the tour, make sure it's a sunny day. They just take walkups.

    I wonder if he had a gas or diesel generator for his power, or if he just roughed it over there. I was thinking the island had no power available.

    It won't be too long before somebody builds a bridge over the jetty and puts a few more high rises up.
    Wishing I was gettin' off 65 onto 331 for the final 175 miles.

    I would have thought that back during the big building boom a few years back. But I can't see that happening anytime soon. There are way too many empty units down there from all that construction. There are also several empty lots that had pre-sales going on that haven't even broken ground. I think it will be several years before you see a lot of cranes and construction workers in that neck of the woods. As long as the island is in state hands, I bet it's relatively safe.
