  “ A fun way to explore a side of Florida not often seen. You likely will get a bit muddy if it has rained recently. ”

  “ It was fun crawling about in the caves. I'm glad we got their early before it started getting crowded. I'd like to go back to hike the trails. I wish I'd had more time to meet everyone. With any luck we'll all meet again soon at another event. ”

  “ this was so much fun! Something so simple, something so natural in our area, something I never knew existed here. I loved this outing! This was something that I think anyone who wants to get outside in nature, get dirty, be silly, be slightly adventurous would really enjoy - I know I did! ”
