    Between the fig story, the Disney Princess soundtrack and the comment “And everybody knows that females are the rulers of the Earth”, this episode had me rolling in laughter and completely charmed. 😂❤tx

    My favorite spot was the Lilly pond beneath the bridge. The huge trees are amazing. The lower trunk of the pony tail tree looks like an elephants foot😀. Thank you for sharing this beauty🌳

    Jack...A suggestion for you that when your boys reach the age of 7, 8, or 9 you let them experience living through Fall, winter, Spring, and the beautiful Summers in Northern Michigan for a rememberable lifetime of memories!!!

    Thanks Jack for this tour. I didn't realize that trees could get so big in Florida; I've never seen a Pony-Tail Palm so huge. We're going to make a special trip to this beautiful place. I think it's only 1-1/2 hours from us. Thanks again.
