You can't find a much smaller town than where we are currently located in Holt, Fl. So far I've not been able to confirm a population figure, but I'm guessing it is probably not more than a thousand or so and probably only a few hundred within the actual "city" limits. Nearby (8 miles North and East) is the town of Baker (Pop. about 7000 - and most of that population must reside well outside of town). Since the time we started on this adventure, we've enjoyed participating in 'small town' events and activities in many of the locations we've had the fortune to explore.
The last two Saturdays we spent some time on the grounds of the Baker Block Museum enjoying sunny afternoons and an art show, music, the museum itself and a heritage celebration which included demonstrations of such things as lye soap making, bee keeping and hand hewn wooden shingles. This part of Florida is of a very conservative bent and one major attraction at yesterday's event was a mobile GOP headquarters which I've included in these photos.
