Obviously, Serge, Coleman and their 1969 Plymouth Satellite endure Irma with minor cuts and wounds, uncover, and head back up the Keys to proceed with their most recent excursion: a burial ground voyage through Florida.
"Graveyards rock! They're gateways to our underlying foundations with all the conspicuous history, also perky arranging and bitchin' statuary… The ideal spot for an outing, aside from I generally appear to be the just one with a bushel and checkered cover."
Their first stop is the Dolphin Research Center on Grassy Key, the last resting spot of one of the most well known Floridians: Flipper, the TV star dolphin of the 1960s. "My visit, my principles" Serge says to clarify why he is including acclaimed singular grave locales, just as graveyards. The visit incorporates the entombment destinations of a portion of the state most prominent inhabitants, including abstract symbols Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings and Zora Neale Hurston. In North Florida they visit Beluthahatchee, the compound of Stetson Kennedy, folklorist, Klan contender and buddy of Woody Guthrie.
En route Serge proceeds with his fatal science-venture extraordinary battle against the state's numerous scalawags; one includes Alka-Seltzer and seagulls, another gets especially dreadful with screw worm flies.
Dorsey consistently embeds an other plotline that in the long run works its way back to our saint. This time it includes a fortune looking for pontoon commander and a little youngster who needs to play secondary school football.
Everything reaches a critical stage as our dynamic couple comes full circle the visit by working their way around Okeechobee, from the rodeos in the north to the sugar stick fields on "an inappropriate side" of Palm Beach and Port Mayaca, where 1,600 sea tempest unfortunate casualties from the 1928 tempest are covered in a mass grave.
We end in the Muck Bowl, the yearly football match-up among Pahokee and Belle Glade, poor towns that produce a bewildering number of NFL players, and the Ortuna Lock and Dam, and its beast 20-foot-wide whirlpool.
Amazing! Another champ. Dorsey keeps on conveying.
