see % . . . . . Q
! A few weeks ago l took time
out to tell you something about
Caverns State Park near Marian
ma and that little yarn got me in
a peck of trouble, not because il
wasn't a good story but because
a lot of other sections have dis
tinct and unique attractions that
they feel should be talked
about"
Before the ink was dry on that
Mariana column Dan Kelly of
Fernandina is all over me like a
cloud of dust demandin' that /
come up to Nassau County and
get load of sure-enough State
Park.
Dick Pope of Winter Haven re-
minds me that Cypress Gardens
can furnish material for no less
than a thousand columns and
when will I be over.
Shorty Davidson of Silver
Springs calls my attention to the
fact that during the recent press
meeting saw first hand the Won
ders and glories of the eighth
wonder of the world" and why
don't | say so.
Ernest F. Coe informs me that
if / want to see a REAL park I'd
better take a month or two off
and let him show me Tropic Ever
glades National Park and then I'll
have plenty to shout about
IF you really want to do your
readers a favor. writes Trent
Collins, you'll tell 'em about
Rainbow Springs and our famous
/ falls.
From Mcintosh, Mrs. Gist
threatens dire consequences if ]
don't drop what I'm doin' and lei
her take me on a cruise to BIRD
Island. There's nothin' else
like it in the world'', she says.
Ed Ball wants to know when
I'm comm to Wakulla Springs tc
see his new hotel, watch the
/ trained fish and take in lot Of
other things that the well-inform-
ed tourist should be informed
about.
George Burr. just back
from Key West. says: boy.
you ought to see that town
now and the new overseas
highway. it's marvellous and
wait until you get messed up
with some of the he-fish
they're got down there and
their 'Taverns' are more in
ferestin' and enterfainin' than
Mariana 'Caverns'. You don't
want 10 miss IL.
Then there were several others
and while I'm willin' and anxious
to give 'em all break, I've only
got one column a week and ]
know that anyone of the above
mentioned attractions couldn'i
possibly be described in less than
ten or twelve volumes.
guess the only thing left for
me to do is just hop in the car
and spend my vacation nosin
around the state. You can go t.
Alaska or the Virgin Islands il
you want to but I'm tellin' you
that you'll find no more interest,"
in and charmin' vacation land
than your own state.
For a lot less money than you
will spend on trip to some dist
ant spot, you can pile in your car
and start out from anywhere in
the state with a thousand and ono
/ interestin' Things to see and plac.
es to go.
