Forgotten Florida


Limestone, Florida

This past Sunday we headed south into the deep interior of the Florida peninsula in search of wild unadorned nature and to experience the essence of a largely ignored and forgotten region of the state. As many of y'all know I like ignored and forgotten places. The world is full of 'em and I intend to get to as many as possible before I finally expire in one.

Thank God for the forgotten places.

Associated with lawn bowling...

"Flat green bowls is usually played on a large, rectangular, precisely leveled and manicured grass or synthetic surface known as a bowling green which is divided into parallel playing strips called rinks."

I grew up in Bowling Green, Fl. I went to Bowling Green Elementary, spent many years of my youth there, and always loved going to Payne's Creek. I still have dreams about my old home, after I moved to the city. Actually, my sister who died in my mom's womb is buried in the old cemetery going towards Wauchula. I loved those years when there was no war, just peace and quietness in that small town.
