Old Florida


Sometimes I am fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of things they way they used to be. In this area we have a scenic drive through some old forest lands which is so peaceful and beautiful it takes my breath away. Reminiscent of the era when my grandparents first came here in the late 1890s, it is a simpler time I often crave... though the paved road is an anachronism.

Even on the hottest of summer days, this area is cool and comfortable and full of interesting wildlife. My Dad always talked about the Florida panther he saw in this area when he was a kid — which would have been about 90 years ago now.
