As funny as it sounds for someone trying to do better for the environment, I am not too much of an outdoor person. Bugs scare me, mosquitos love me, and I hate the heat! But last weekend, my family took our first camping trip to Myakka State Park. Myakka is about an hour and a half south of Tampa and it was well worth the drive. The park is beautiful with lots of picnic spots, great views, and an interesting tower and canopy walkway through the trees. Although the actual campsites were small and our group thought this park was better suited for cooler weather because there was no swimming, we still had a great time. I am sure we will go back again when the weather is cooler. It also brought up some interesting problems with making camping environmentally friendly. I am on the lookout for a blog or info for environmentally friendly camping so look out for some info soon! Enjoy the pictures.
