Jason,
I have been following the Image Docs since the beginning. Keep up the good work.
Your trip sounds great. At your suggestion, I have been to the St Augustine Alligator Farm & Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge. I was blown away by both. I am very interested in participating the trip.
Thanks,
Joey
Joey-
Thanks for your comment. There will be virtually no hiking on this trip. Every spot is within driving distance and the walks are very short on paved sidewalks! If you would like to register for the workshop, you need to visit my Meetup Page.
