This past weekend I went camping at Collier-Seminole State Park, unfortunately my camera died so the picture posted are from websites. It was beautiful there, with all sorts of plants, animals, and was also rich with history. There was an original dredge there that actually helped build I-75 from Tampa to Miami. There was also a monument to Mr. Collier where it explained his life and mission. He came to Florida because he loved the nature here and the state park is part of the original land he had bought. He bought over a million acres and didn't build on part of it so that it could be saved and turned into a park. In the park, there were activites like hiking and canoeing so that people could explore the nature. Animals that could be found in the park were panthers, bears, raccoons, and other natives. It was a fantastic trip and a beautiful area and I recommend to anybody that loves the great outdoors to visit here! |
