Like most of Florida, Jupiter is over-developed with condos along
the immediate coast line. Had a number of fun and interesting bars
and restaurants though, especially along the ICW. Our place was
about 6-8 miles inland in a gated community, pretty much isolated from
the rest of the world. The community was developed on 1000 acres in
the middle of nowhere and had four major sections, dedicated to
specific interests. One had a couple of golf courses, another had a
full blown working runway for aviation enthusiasts and two were
dedicated to equestrian activities. Of the two equestrian sections,
one had lots that averaged 20 acres each and the other (the section
we were in) had lots that were typically 5-7 acres.

I enjoyed spending the winters there. The weather was absolutely
spectacular with low humidity and temperatures typically in the
mid-70's in the middle of February. But I don't think I could have
handled summers. Too humid.


That is why I like the west coast. There are long stretches of the
Gulf coast with no development at all.
Close to me I have 2 beach parks that are about 3 miles each of open
beach. The one closest to me is pretty much deserted for 8 months a
year. Unless someone wants to walk a mile or so, a lot of it is boat
access only.
We also have miles of undisturbed estuary and mangrove forests.

Being from DC originally, heat and humidity don't really bother me
that much. There are plenty of summer days when we are cooler than
what they report in the North East.
I would not trade my weather for the sleet and freezing rain I had in
DC.


I did my mileage average during the start of the race season so about
half city, half highway, a third with a trailer... I did about 700 miles
and averaged about 17 per gallon with the 3.7 Jeep Liberty.
