I really enjoy exploring and learning about old buildings and this place was a great find. Usually my research is done post-visit when looking at the photos. I can imagine this would be a great visit in the fall months with all the foliage changes. I will be dropping in for a visit to your blog spot too. Please feel free to re-visit anytime.Beatrice P.

I had originally taken the photos in color and then realized they needed to have an older feel and look, so I reshot them and then deleted the color shots, except for the rooster. <br /><br />Grammie G., Mona & Daisy, glad you liked the rooster, he was the only chicken we saw that day and crowed loudly to let us know he was there. <br /><br />Mama-Bug, a garden had been started, but I neglected to take any photos. Thanks for mentioning the new visitor center which is really nice, but then I never saw the old one. One thing I noticed is there's a charge for nearly every brochure, except the park map, most likely because park admission is free and it's a way to raise funds and not have brochures go to waste.<br /><br />Christer, unfortunately, our visit was self-guided as there were no tours or programs going on, but they are conducted during summer months. That guide you talked about sure was in the wrong job it seems.<br /><br />Steve, I agree this farm was an interesting bonus to our park visit, except that the gnats were out in force(s) that day. The rooster wasn't too active and was in the back of the barn. Thanks for the snake info.<br /><br />Welcome John (Don't Unplug Your Hub) and thanks for the visit and compliments - both are much appreciated. We just have fun with the blog and it's great to have visitors, please come back anytime. I'll visit your blog too.<br /><br />Hi Sandra, log cabins are nice, but I would opt for a modernized one over these basic models. I don't suppose there are many log cabins in Florida.<br /><br />Welcome Pauline and thanks for the return blog visit. I'm glad you enjoyed this post and I also learn a lot about history in getting the background info. The rooster just HAD to be in color. Drop in again anytime and I'll do the same.Beatrice P.

Most the old ones I see just look desolate and I always wonder about their history. I love how you presented them, too, with the brilliant splash of colour from the rooster.Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15276284964859313257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504757647826212517.post-17509432645685038452011-05-21T09:16:57.977-04:002011-05-21T09:16:57.977-04:00this will go on my bucket list, i would so love to...this will go on my bucket list, i would so love to see all of this. we have always wanted to retire in a real log cabin, as in OLD not the new ones they build. these are wonderful and i can't pick a favorite because they are all my favorites. thanks for sharing. your video is probably to large a file, i had that happen to meMadSnapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08163140037276496519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504757647826212517.post-21704691957418163642011-05-21T09:15:08.510-04:002011-05-21T09:15:08.510-04:00One day when I have learnt how to use a computer p...One day when I have learnt how to use a computer properly I hope that my blog will look as good as yours.

We have something similar south of Gothenburg and we visited it several times when I went to school.<br /><br />The guide loved talking about that place but he hated children :-) So the thing I remember best from those trips was that he threatened to hit us if we weren´t quiet :-) :-) :-)<br /><br />Great photographs!<br /><br />Have a great day!<br />Christer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504757647826212517.post-41237567399124164272011-05-21T00:03:43.270-04:002011-05-21T00:03:43.270-04:00Very interesting post.
