LIR: Paynes Prairie State Preserve

            Several Learning in Retirement members drove 107 miles south of I-75 to Micanopy, Florida to visit Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park. We first stopped at the Visitor Center to view an informative video, saw specimens of animals in the park: Buffalo, Deer, Eagle, Sandhill Crane, Florida Water Rat, and Grey Fox. In addition we were able to view wild horses in the distance from the back porch of the Visitor Center and heard a woodpecker knocking on a tree. Next we drove north on US 441 to a wildlife observation boardwalk where we saw Buzzards, Snowy Egrets, Sandhill Cranes, and an Eagle.  Next we parked at Bolan Bluff Trail and hiked for 1.3 miles round trip. We saw very large Live Oak trees, palmetto bushes, palm tree, an orange tree, wildflowers, and fungi. Then we drove into the Historic Township of Micanopy for lunch. We parked on the quaint street lined with vintage shops full of antiques and unique items. We wandered into the Old Florida Café and managed to find a table, ordered Cuban and Reuben sandwiches with chili and settled down amongst the myriad of antiques. We topped off the meal with Key Lime pie. Finally we drove through Micanopy Cemetery where the first burial occurred in 1826. Tired, but satisfied we drove back to Valdosta State University with new knowledge and fond memories.
