Another Year?s Travel in Florida: More Tales From A Roadtrip Around the Sunshine State

In May of 2015, Lenny left his St Petersburg FL apartment for the last time, climbed into a four-year-old cargo van that had been outfitted with a sleeping bag bed, a homemade sink, a homemade toilet, and a solar panel for electricity, and set out to live on the road. Over the next eight years, he toured most of the continental United States from coast to coast and from border to border. In 2020 he wrote a chronicle of a portion of that roadtrip, titled A Year's Travel In Florida. This book is a continuation of that travelogue. In it he reviews some more of his favorite sites in Florida, and gives a description and historical overview of some of the places that he liked. A few of them are famous tourist destinations; most are known only to the locals. But all have interesting stories to tell. Among them are: a sea monster in Clearwater Beach; the original African Queen riverboat; the Everglades; a history of shuffleboard; the US Navy's Sealab project; the flying saucer house; the Fountain of Youth; and Florida's very own Bigfoot.
