B-Day Invasion - 12:00 Noon, March 5, 2009 - Today at 12:00 noon the Ex-AO forces landed and secured the former America Outdoors beach in Key Largo led by Paul Mason and Earl & Evelyn. About 45 to 50 AOers participated. There were no casualties during the landing (everyone brought their lunch & chairs). The Marine police stopped and tried to out flank us but were not successful due to Reggie, Susie, and Gary & Barb with their German Shepherds. We moved off The Beach at about 2:00 pm and moved onto other campsites without any resistance or casualties. The average age was high but all fought bravely and successfully took the Beach. See pictures here... if you have pictures too please send them to to me via and I will add them to the slideshow!

11/29/07 - Phil Clarke took panoramic pictures of the beach at AO a couple years ago. He sent me the files and I spliced the four photos together (you would be very hard pressed to tell where the seams are) into an image that measures about 6"H X 24"L. You can download this TIFF file to your hard drive and then copy it to a CD. Take it to Staples or someplace where they have a large format printer (it may even be able to be made into an even larger image at a printer or sign shop) and have it printed on photographic paper for just a few dollars. Frame it and you'll have a really great AO memory! The file is about 9 MB so if you have dial-up connection you might want to go somewhere where you'll have a faster connection to download it - see the image below.
To download this large file, RIGHT click and then choose "Save target as" and pick a place on your hard drive to save it: RIGHT click here to download.
Have a picture you want included on this web site?
