Letting Off Steam

On our drive home after Christmas, we stopped at Crystal River to eat at Charlie's, a seafood restaurant right on the dock. It was such a lovely day that we decided to take a drive down the nine-mile road to the Gulf.  This was a new place for us and we enjoyed exploring. The road out to the islands gave views of the nuclear power plant at Red Level. We drove through the salt marshes of needle grass and spartina and.....

out to the water.

All along the way, we noticed the siren towers.

A visitor could easily find themselves having a freaky Friday if they had not read the sign.
