The concept of "Beast & Feast" originated while camping over Spring Break at a corner of Hell known as Jonathan Dickinson State Park. While exploring the rather quiet area of Hobe Sound we came across a wonderful little pizza franchise called "Big Apple Pizza". Little did we know this would become the place of legends. As we sat down for a stromboli an advertisement on the wall for "All You Can Eat Pizza and Pasta Wednesdays and Sundays "caught our eye. This is something I myself have only heard of on television, a deal of amazing value seemingly too good to be true yet we were sitting in such a mystic establishment. Unfortunately, it was only Tuesday so we slated ourselves to come back the next day for lunch. That morning we woke up, walked 5 miles and then went mountain biking on the sketchy at best trails. While grinding our way through the sand and heat, the motivation to keep going was the infinite meal that lay before us. Somewhere on those sandy, mildy crappy trails the moniker "Beast & Feast" came about. After we were done "beasting" these trails we would "feast". We arrived at Big Apple Pizza sweaty, not having showered in a couple days but left feeling too full to walk to the car, much less walk another 5 miles back to camp. Since that day "Beast & Feast" has become a mantra to live by. With this trip we continue its legend, but not only revisiting Big Apple Pizza but adding new and more extraordinary beasts and feasts to our resumes.
