Rural Florida

When you think of Florida, do you picture the Atlantic Coast, the Gulf Coast, the Everglades, the Keys, or how about Disney and Universal? Certainly, those things are the public face of the state, but much of the state is rural and agricultural.

A few years ago we spent the Winter mostly in Frostproof which is at the center of the vast orange growing and processing industry and today I am reporting to you from an even more rural part of the state.  Mayo, FL, is the seat of Lafayette County and is the county's only municipality (pop. about 1200). There are two very small towns as well
with populations in the low hundreds and one ghost town.

This area is only a bit over 100 miles away from where we spent the first month of our RV adventures in 2007, Folkston, GA., and I have plans to revisit some of the same sites to see the effect of 10 years time.
