To Hell and Back? More like Paradise!

Liz and I got to spend a day with WFSU-TV's Roberto Diaz De Villegas and Dan Peeri in Franklin County exploring the Apalachicola Wildlife Environmental Area and Tate's Hell State Forest. The video clip above aired on WFSU-TV's Dimensions show last week.

Rob writes a blog for WFSU called "In the Grass, On the Reef" which promotes eco-tourism and educates people on the ecological importance of our wild lands.

The next show will air on February 29th at 730pm on WFSU and will highlight kayaking and camping with Wilderness Way. If you don't get this channel in your area you'll be able to watch the program on Rob's blog the week after the show airs (see link above).

The Apalachicola area is one of Florida's best kept secrets with many great opportunities for birders, wildlife enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers to enjoy. Cebe Tate may well have thought he was in hell but I can assure you it really is paradise.
