“There’s more to Florida than beaches and theme parks. There’s a whole different world out there, but you have to get off the main highways to find it. It’s cattle country, and it probably gets fewer human footprints in one year than the major amusement parks get in five minutes. Nearly one-fifth of the state is devoted to the cattle industry.” Patrick Smith
