I spent a significant chunk of my childhood in central Florida. My grandparents lived in Winter Haven and for half my childhood I spent 3-4 months a year with them. I still have family in Orlando that I don't get to see often enough. Some of my favorite memories come from the summers I attended at a day camp outside of Lake Alfred. Fishing, swimming, and horseback riding through the Florida scrub. There's a part of that region that will always be "home" to me.
Hi, Jason, I’m a new subscriber and Florida native. I grew up on the coast in South Florida but my mom moved to Sebring where I had the great pleasure of getting to know Highlands Hammock. Thanks for writing this.
Thanks, Jason. I love these critters too.
I appreciate your love of Florida.

Man, I miss it.

I know Highlands Hammock well! And MAYBE it'll be in the book (once I finish it) :)
Love seeing the tortoises and marmot.
Oh just wait til it warms up and I get to see more marmots. Love those little things.
