Endurance

I just finished reading an absolutely fantastic book! A story of survival that was miraculous, where the polar expedition of Earnest Shackleton and crew were ice bound in the Antarctic and fought to beat all odds and survive.
This book ranks at the top of my list and I highly recommend this book if you love adventure survival stories.

Camping at Torreya State Park

Torreya State Park is located about 60 miles west of Tallahassee, Florida in the “Big Bend”.

I went to my local sports store and tried on half a dozen flip flops to see which were the most comfortable, comparing them to the Modi Flip, and determined I like the Modi the best as they seemed to provide the best comfort for my heel.

I first bought size 11 thinking it fit the best, but once at home, sitting and walking in the house, I decided they were a little snug across the top of my foot, so I exchanged them for size 12.
