This past weekend I got to go visit my cousin Faye in Naples, Florida where she is doing an internship with a law firm. We had the once in a lifetime opportunity to go visit her coworkers 9,000 acre ranch. They are the 5th largest land owners in Florida and on their property are deer, turkey, their cattle, gators, Florida's first oil well, and lots of beautiful scenery. Here we are getting ready to four-wheel (notice we got sprayed and covered in cow manure):

Then we decided to trade those in for the swamp buggy. 
Here are some of their cattle called "Cracker Cattle" they are the original cattle to Florida:

The beautiful woods:
The limerock hills, used for building roads:
And their land is also where a lot of landscaping palm trees come from. They were digging them out while we were there:

After that we went to the everglades and on an air-boat tour, where we had a visitor:
It was beautiful:
And of course there were gators:
And finally, Faye took me to the beautiful touristy Naples Pier so we could get a picture:
