I remember going up the citrus tower in the late 60's and your view was orange trees in every direction to the horizon.
Went up last winter and the trees seem to have been replaced with bungalows, still plenty of wasps hanging out up there.
Weeki Wachee river has banned tubing thanks to people tossing their garbage into the river but you can rent canoes or kayaks at the beginning of the river and take a 4-5 hour float down it..
Websters Flea Market is just wow,the flea market to judge all others by.

Great thread!
I'm surprised that I've already have done some of the things on that list.
I just checked it out and found we're only about 18 miles from that Flea market, so we'll need to check it out.

Keep those ideas flowing.....

I have been going to that flea market since I was a kid.

As an antique junkie that market is a must stop if we are around it on Monday morning.

Old fashioned flea market that is not like the typical t-shirt, socks markets.

You will enjoy it Frank.

We walk out of there with a treasure every single time.

To replace all the antiques and treasures I'm not taking with me in the move...?

I look forward to going to many of these places...

A friend and antique nut from Zephyr Hills relies on us northerners to take our treasures down to Florida so he can buy them up.

Webster has plenty of fresh home grown fruits and veggies right at the front gate too! Of course you wont need any oranges you have them in your backward Frank.

Something for everyone.

Airboat rides in the Everglades. I believe it was straight out west on Griffin Rd. in Broward County. Everglades Holiday Park - Airboats

I enjoyed going to St. Augustine. The best thing was taking the trolley around for 3 days and not having to drive anywhere. Love historical places like that.

Key Largo, John Pennekamp I went on a snorkel trip once, absolutely loved it. I haven't been there in over 20 years so I'm sure it's changed. Welcome to John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park - Key Largo, Florida Keys
