Actually, the St Louis connection goes back a long way. Some biologists from Washington University found it while doing research in the 1970's, before the Navy was kicked off. They were actually part of that effort. They were, also, responsible for the buildings at Punta Aloe. (now called something else I believe) I believe Jerry of Jerry's Jeeps lived here for 13 or 14 years. I discovered it when I was teaching at Wash. U.,j ust before Hurricane Hugo hit. I haven't been back for quite a few years. I have taken a lot of people from St. Louis to Culebra. All have loved it, but only a few get truly hooked. We have, of course, tried to keep it a secret. Descriptions of the plane landing usually worked. But then there was this article in the Post-Dispatch. Now I know who to blame!I'll be back on Dec 18th. I love being there for the Winter Solstice so the days are getting longer when I return. Makes Winter in St Louis bearable.
