Synopsis "Offbeat Florida: The nature, history, culture, and quirk of the Sunshine State"
Offbeat Florida: The nature, history, culture, and quirk of the Sunshine State is a guide for the independent traveler who knows there is far more to Florida than beaches and theme parks (even though our beaches and theme parks are stellar).Over 800 separate attractions in more than 230 towns across Florida from the Flora-Bama Bar (site of their famous mullet toss) at the north west corner, to Fort Jefferson where the infamous Dr. Mudd was once incarcerated (and why he was released). Along the way you'll discover that we still have drive-in movies and where to find them. And where to see snakes being milked, and the colorful tale of how Tates Hell State Forest got its name, as well as how the Conch Republic got its name. Where and when to see the swimming Santas.Our history is so complex that there's actually a place that has flown under eight separate flags. Hint: It isn't Pensacola.So much to discover, we've created special Focus On sections to take a closer look at things you might not know about Florida, like cypress knees, or our Barefoot Mailman. Then, there are moments of history like the East Florida Patriot Revolt. What about just quirky stuff, like the origin of Swamp buggies. Join us and we explore the heart and soul of the Sunshine State. And because money matters, the free admission places are tagged with FREE.Follow us on Facebook for updates as we come across fun facts and new places to visit and explore.https: //www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100095209819410
