    I was recently at this location and LOVED it. Lots of natural setting and wildlife. Sunset was glorious.

    Great video and music, Larry and Alice! We will have to go there and experience Rodman Dam, as you did.
    We saw the Cross Florida Barge Canal as Florida's Panama Canal. Having spent 3 years of my life being stationed in the former Canal Zone of Panama 🇵🇦, Rodman Naval Base was on the Southwest end of the Panama Canal, close to the Pacific Ocean.
    Thank you, L& A, for an awesome job! R&K
