Yesterday I drove past Blowing Rocks Preserve, located on the south end of Jupiter Island, Florida, and decided to stop and take the path through a mangrove forest to the beach, where those famous rock formations begin, as seen in the photograph above. It was an impulsive visit, and so not the best time for photos. This park is famous for its limestone shoreline, the largest along the Atlantic. At high tide, during rough seas, the waves crash against those rocks, producing plumes of saltwater 50 feet up in the air. This, unfortunately, was not such a day, and so I walked back to the car, and realized I was just a few miles south of world-famous golfer Tiger Woods mansion. And I thought it would be nice to stop there on the way home, and see how he is doing these days, after suffering injuries in a bad car wreck several years ago. Tiger lives at 462 South Beach Road on Jupiter Island, Florida, but when I drove past, that address was not there, almost as if Tiger did not want drop-in visitors. How disappointing. After doing some research on the internet when I got home, I learned that the property also includes 466 South Beach Road, as well as 467 South Beach Road (which is along the ocean). I am almost sure I saw 466 South Beach when I drove by yesterday, and so I will definitely stop by and say "Hey" the next time I am down that way (perhaps during a storm when Blowing Rocks is at its most dramatic and beautiful). What could possibly go wrong?
