FORT INDIANTOWN GAP


 I was able to meet some nice "nature nuts" today at Fort Indian town Gap.  This is the one of the few habitats left for the beautiful Regal Fritillary Butterfly.  The area where this population is found is closed to the public so you must go on special days when their staff lead tours.
