Wauchula , last stop before the Keys

We are in in sunny, windy Wauchula.
 In our travels we found  that Wauchula had been called "Cucumber Capital of the World".  Citrus now has become a more important agricultural crop over the past few decades.

Also, Wauchula is derived from the Seminole name of Wauchula meaning "Call of the Sandhill Crain.  This is a fountain in the center of town.

War memorial also in town.

This little fella was running around the porch digging nuts out of the planters.  They are so tame, the darn thing ran right up to us.

Never saw a pineapple growing, almost ready to pic

This is what you find at the beginning of the nature trail.

Pictures along the trail

Fishing and fossil hunting is very popular along Piece River.
