Cycling the Capital City to the Sea Trail: EcoAdventures North Florida
The popular St. Marks Trail is a 16 mile multiuse trail that connects Tallahassee to the Forgotten Coast town of St. Marks. In the coming years, cyclists will be able to continue their adventure beyond the trail, as it becomes part of the larger Capital City to the Sea Trail. Existing trails such as the St. Marks, the Ochlockonee Bay Trail, and the Trout Pond Trail will be connected into a network with over 120 miles of multiuse trail that lets cyclists enjoy their ride off of roadways. Project Managers Jon Sewell and Jack Kostrzewa peddle along segments of the trail and help fill in the blanks of a project that will take over a decade to complete.
Towns and parks connected by the eventual trail are the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge, St. Marks, Wakulla Springs, Panacea, Mashes Sands, Sopchoppy, and Tallahassee.

FLORIDA PANHANDLE - WikiVidi Documentary
The Florida Panhandle, an informal, unofficial term for the northwestern part of the U.S. state of Florida, is a strip of land roughly 200 miles long and 50 to 100 miles wide , lying between Alabama on the north and the west, Georgia also on the north, and the Gulf of Mexico to the south. Its eastern boundary is arbitrarily defined. The terms West Florida and Northwest Florida are today generally synonymous with the Panhandle, although historically West Florida was the name of a British colony , later a Spanish colony , both of which included modern-day Florida west of the Apalachicola River as well as portions of what are now Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. As is the case with the other eight U.S. states that have panhandles, the geographic meaning of the term is inexact and elastic. References to the Florida Panhandle always include the ten counties west of the Apalachicola River, a natural geographic boundary, which was the historic dividing line between the British colon...

St. Marks Lighthouse, Apalachee Bay, near Tallahassee, Florida, via DJI Phantom 3 drone
Florida's 2nd oldest lighthouse is an absolute treat to visit. Situated on an impressively large natural wildlife refuge, St. Mark's Lighthouse is awesome. The landscape it overlooks is quite different from any other lighthouse I've visited (and I've been to quite a few), which I truly didn't appreciate until seeing it from the drone's perspective.
The area is immaculately cared for, with not a single speck of garbage or tired structure to be seen. There are several trails in the area, and I reckon a full day could easily be spent taking in all the refuge has to offer. Unfortunately, it was a quick stop for us while travelling from Orlando to Fort Walton (I love lighthouses!), so we didn't explore beyond the lighthouse itself.
I was very impressed with the area, and would certainly not hesitate recommending it to others, especially if you like hiking, lighthouses and or Florida's wildlife (including gators, which I understand will sometimes lay out on the walking trails to sun themselves, though we didn't see any). Take the time to visit... you won't be disappointed.

Cedar Key Clam Farming
Fishing is a great way to enjoy the outdoors, a challenge of man versus nature. However, sports fisherman led an important turning point in history, a battle between the fisherman out for leisure and the commercial fisherman, supplying food for market and providing a living for his family. In one day, through the action of voters within the state of Florida, at the urging of sport fisherman, an entire industry was wiped out. And, from that struggle, a new industry was born. For decades in our country commercial fishing was a well respected industry, even receiving recognition as an important food producer for our country.
Things had changed by November 8, 1994, when Florida voters approved Amendment 3, a proposed amendment to Florida’s state constitution. Also known as the net ban, Amendment 3 called for the banning of all entangling nets and all other nets larger than five-hundred square feet within 3 miles of Florida’s Gulf Coast and one mile of Florida’s Atlantic Coast. This amendment put commercial net fisherman out of business, eliminating their way of life for generations Amendment three of the constitution was proposed and funded in the beginning by Karl Wichstrom. He was the founder and editor-in-chief for Florida Sportsman Magazine. He proposed this Amendment because of his belief that the Marine Fisheries Commission and the Florida state legislature hadn’t done enough to regulate and control commercial fishing. Florida Sportsman Magazine supported this amendment claiming dolphins and sea turtles were being killed by entangling themselves in gill nets. I had the privlage to sit down with former net fisherman Hal Hodges of Cedar Key, Florida, this is what he had to say about these claims: In the end, the Florida sportsman magazine, sports fisherman, and environmentalists won the battle. Florida voters approved the net ban.

Happy 4th of July Ladies and Jellyfish!
I cannot believe that these Haughtons are getting modded!
Correction, I can believe it. I have a failed take of these where the door sensor didn't work. THAT will appear in Vertical Misbehavior 2019...
According to security, OTIS is modding these, but I cannot confirm this...

Florida Coastal Scenics 1 - Florida - Beaches - Wildlife - Best Shot Footage - Stock Footage
Beautiful Footage of the Florida Coastline; Aerial and Ground Views of Beaches, Oceans, Sand Bars, Islands, Wildlife, Manatee. Florida (i /ˈflɒrɪdə/) is a state located in the Southeastern United States. It borders Alabama to the northwest and Georgia to the north. Much of the state's land mass is a large peninsula with the Gulf of Mexico to the west, the Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the Florida Straits and Caribbean to the south. Florida was admitted as the 27th U.S. state in 1845, after a three hundred year period of European rule. With an area of 65,755 square miles (170,305 km2), it is ranked 22nd in size among the 50 U.S. states. Florida has the longest coastline in the contiguous United States, encompassing approximately 1,350 miles (2,170 km). The state has four large urban areas, a number of smaller industrial cities, and many small towns. Florida is nicknamed the Sunshine State because of its generally warm climate—subtropical in the northern and central regions of the state, with a true tropical climate in the southern portion.[5] Florida is one of two states containing an area with a tropical climate, the other being Hawaii which is wholly tropical. The United States Census Bureau confirmed that the state population was 18,801,310 on April 1, 2010, ranking Florida as the fourth most populous state in the U.S.[6][7] Tallahassee is the state capital, Jacksonville is the largest city, and the South Florida metropolitan area is the largest metropolitan area.
Hurricane leaves Mexico Beach in shreds
(11 Oct 2018) Hurricane Michael all but erased the tiny community of Mexico Beach on Florida's Gulf Coast, reducing some homes to mere concrete slabs and leaving others in shreds.
Rescuers and residents struggled Thursday to get into town to assess the damage and search for the missing after it was slammed by 155 mph (250 kph) winds and a 9-foot (2.7-meter) storm surge.
The town of about 1,200 residents had been a quiet weekend retreat for tourists and residents of the state capital, Tallahassee, offering a handful of independent hotels and restaurants. Many of those buildings are now destroyed.
Debris now litters the town's streets, jammed together helter-skelter with vehicles and boats.
The area is on the western stretch of what's called Florida's Forgotten Coast, so named because it doesn't have the heavy development of places like Panama City.
Instead of students on spring break, it attracts visitors looking for quiet weekends and local oysters.
