I liked the Emerson Point Preserve. We stayed in Palmetto at I-75 for a weekend, it was a neet place to walk in the mornings. We went through Myakka river state park, it was pretty wet, had to walk through shallow water to get to the catwalk,looked like a great place. Lots of neet places near Bradenton. Your photos are all great Dave.
