People love coming to Florida for their vacations. The sand, the sun, and all of the different amusement parks are hot attractions, but there are also great things to be said of the odd or the off the beaten path adventures that one can find all over the state for a unique Florida vacation. Everyone goes to Disneyworld, but not everyone learns what a skunk ape is! If you are of the curious sort, you might want to check out the Skunk Ape Research Headquarters, which is located in Ochopee. This creature, which gets its name from the nasty stench that accompanies it, is said to be the southeast’s answer to Bigfoot. At the Research Center, you can view footprint casts and photos of the alleged creature. If you would rather steer clear of the skunk ape, you could always head to the amazing Coral Castle, the construction of which began around the turn of the twentieth century. This rock garden, containing massive sculpted rock, is something of a mystery –a single man built the Coral Castle, and he supposedly used no tools or moving equipment to arrange the rocks. So how did he do it? That’s part of the fun of investigating the mystery of the Coral Castle.
