I’ve been really impressed with your videos-great camera work, editing. You share greatly information about aspects of The Villages that not everyone shows. You appear to have a lot of knowledge about The Villages for someone who has not been there a great length of time.

Such a pretty ride and interesting facts about the Spanish Moss Southern Oak Trees. Beautiful! Stay safe if hurricane hits. Make sure everything's charged up, have fresh batteries, shut off sprinklers and keep Gridley away from the windows. I know you know this but I'm a planner so I like to make sure everything's in order. Take care!

An interesting tidbit about Spanish Moss that I heard on the History Channel. Spanish Moss lead to the first automotive recall because Henry Ford was using it to stuff seat benches in his first cars, and apparently Spanish Moss is often infested with a certain kind of mite!! 🤢 ew!! Btw how does one get to this park? I'm making a list of places to visit on our lifestyle visit in October.

Interesting! If you’re on the golf cart path at the intersection of 466 and Morse Boulevard on the golf cart path, heading south from the Spanish springs area, before you cross Lake Sumter on the Morse blvd bridge, you’ll pass right by it.
