I biked from Boston to Key West (6) years ago and spent (2) winters living on Wisteria! Great adventure

I just remembered! I wrote a song about Wisteria! Wisteria Oh you dark green rose I love the way you let your hair hang down everytime the wind blows You make me cry in a silent way For every time I ever dreamed that I could ever live this way You've been living on the other side WIth no one to sing your tune A lonesome land in a lonesome wind Beneath a lonesome moon

I lived on Wisteria for a year in 1977. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Myself and a woman named Nancy once cleaned up the entire island of trash. A group of us formed a little tribe for a while. We had a sweat lodge. There was Shelter, Dreaming Eagle and Cynthia and Moriah, Black Elk, Prairie Rose and Honey Bunny and Becca. There were some really burned out Viet Nam vets with PTSD and a few crazy people that came and went. I called myself Morningstar then and had a little styrofoam 'Kool" sail boat as well as a 17 foot Thompson mahogany that I turned into a gaff rigged sail boat using side boards for a keel. It sailed great! I am so happy to learn a Hilton Hotel doesn't exist on Christmas Tree island as I'd heard one had been built. I wonder if any of my old friends will read this. Ahoy!

This is a man of character and the rarity of such traits is what makes this appealing and why I seek such an interesting experience. Live long morningstar or long live.

Had nothing to do with the island being a "hell" or "paradise", just with it being clean up day.

I wonder if they cleaned up all the human faeces?😳

I hate to inform you all, but this Island is now owned by Ocean Properties Hotels Resorts, which is a hotel development firm. I hope you enjoy the Island as much as you can now before it is destroyed.

No development that I saw, just seemed like a bunch of people living the Conch Republic life most of us mainlanders daydream of from our cubicles. (Alas, I didn't have the opportunity to go shoreside, so accept or disregard my opionion knowing that.) I wish nothing but the best for the folks that call that island home. Between Irma, covid and life. They've managed to keep their priorities straighter than most of the folks that can afford to vacation in Key West.

I think that might be the Wisteria (the ship the island's named after)

Is this the one they call Meth Island?

They look like fun people 😊😊

I lived here in ‘96

Why don't they leave that island alone?! Let those who have no place to go live there and enjoy life, for God's sake.

Maybe because they are polluting the ocean that people swim in with their garbage and feces.

Lots of people picking up poop garbage I didn't see one person wash their hands with alcohol at any point in this video😢
