So today was the 4H Forestry Contest out at Austin Cary Memorial Forest in between Gainesville and Waldo. I went up as a group leader and while the 4H’ers were out on the contest, I walked around and took some nice pictures for you to enjoy.
The Austin Cary Memorial Forest is owned by the University of Florida and is used as a training facility for those enrolled in the School of Forestry. It features a really nice lodge, some historical forestry memorabilia, tools, etc. There’s a nice little trail with markers for the different tree species. There’s also lots of ticks so either wear a full body wetsuit or apply some bug spray. I recommend the latter.
Check out the pictures in the gallery.

I got a chance to go up to the top of Bok Tower! Now, not every Tom, Dick, and Harry gets to go up there, you have to be somebody to gain access to this incredible structure. That said, I’m not too sure how I got in…

So I was stingy and never shared this video here with you, my loyal fans. It’s been sitting on my YouTube channel, but for some reason I didn’t post it here. Sorry, homeboys and homegirls, hopefully you will be nice and give me a pass this time, it won’t happen again.
We all know and faithfully [...]
