We had a wonderful visit to the Key Largo Hammock Botanical State Park. It is one of the largest tracts of West Indian tropical hardwood hammock in the United States. It made me incredibly happy to see tropical hardwood hammock preserved and accessible to the public. Plenty of wild Gumbo Limbo made me feel elated. It had rained before we arrived so the ground was moist. We found Florida Tree Snails crawling on the trail as we walked along. Plenty of deet was useful in keeping the mosquitoes at bay.
