Attached are two photos of the swimming area.  We will need to watch for bears and alligators, along with the usual raccoons, possums and alike.  There are bike trails, hiking trails, 4 wheeler area (have to register and pay a fee), and swimming at the National Forest.  We will have running water and showers., but NO electric at  the tent sites. 

Please try to let us know if you will be attending & if you will be staying in a tent or need a RV site so we can be sure we have enough sites reserved.  It will fill up fast as this is a popular place.  It would be nice to know how many are in your group.

Some attractions that are within 1hr drive are:
            Kennedy Space Center
            Orlando:    Disney World
                             Universal Studios Islands of Adventure
                             Sea World
            Silver Springs
            Wet & Wild Water Park
            St Augustine (with beaches on the east coast)
            Alligator Farm
           ICHNETUCKNEE Springs State Park (slow floating down the river)

There are many other things to do and see.

I know I do not have everyone's email address.  Please forward as needed and any additional email address back to us would be appreciated.
