Payne's Prairie

Weather is beautiful today and since Bob's hip/leg are bugging him we decided to head out and be tourists today. We're going to Paynes Prairie north of Ocala. This park became Florida´s first state preserve in 1971 and is now designated as a National Natural Landmark. There are over 20 distinct biological communities in this state park which are perfect habitats for wildlife, including alligators, bison, wild horses, and over 270 species of birds. Eight trails provide opportunities for hiking, horseback riding, and bicycling. We're not sure if we'll take Mandy or not, as we don't want her to get bit by an alligator! So no golf or art work today! Just exercise.
