Re: 96 SE from florida
Been to Florida once in my life and I'd like to go back. 41 degrees today here in Wisconsin. It has its advantages and disadvantages.

Re: 96 SE from florida
The one thing I'll always remember about my trip to Florida is how different the plant life looks there; it's quite a different looking world for someone like me that has lived in the northwoods his whole life.

Re: 96 SE from florida
It is not all palm trees and beaches though. There is still plenty of northern/western Florida that is swamp and forest.redmetrix wrote:The one thing I'll always remember about my trip to Florida is how different the plant life looks there; it's quite a different looking world for someone like me that has lived in the northwoods his whole life.
