Another side trip

We ended up making another side trip on our way toward Flagler Beach. It was time for an oil change for Colectiva, so we found a Camping World near Cocoa Beach and headed there. We learned as we were killing service time that we were only a handful of miles from Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center. While we both had visited as kids, we couldn’t help but at least visit.

As we were leaving Fort Pierce, we happened to drive by the Fort Pierce Marina. We found a number of huge sheet metal buildings that were used as sheltered boat storage. On all of our various travels we have seen a number of examples of people spending an awful lot of money just for a joke. But the one we spotted in Fort Pierce Marina was certainly one of the best.

When we bumped into Peter Wolf Toth in Cherokee NC, he told us that his permanent studio was in Edgewater FL. While it was a bit off the beaten path it wasn’t too far off. Sadly Mr. Toth must still be on the road repair some Whispering Giant somewhere, as he wasn’t on site at the Art Gallery and Museum. But it was fun to see what we have come to identify as his sculptures surrounding the grounds. Fun!

Talk to you soon.
