turn left / North after bridge on the 1A. Go to end to boat launch & park. Access to ghost river on left hand side of launch, a small beach. I will have a propane fire pit going and a thermos of hot chocolate.

This is the NEW LOCATION since we had to break 2” thick ice last Sunday..

What people usually bring:

-Bathing suit + towel (or shorts and tank)

-Warm, cozy layers for after — hoodie, sweats, big socks

-Easy slip-on shoes for getting in/out of the water. Crocs, water shoes etc

-Optional but lovely: hat + gloves

-Don’t forget an open mind and sense of humour, I hear it helps! Haha

The “how do we do this without looking ridiculous?” part:

Most of people wrap up, toss on a big hoodie or robe, and sort themselves out after

Some do a super-speedy change outside… others absolutely do the awkward car-change wiggle — zero shame, we’ve all done it

Crank it up a notch and bring something warm to sip after — tea, broth, hot water — it hits the soul different.
