Canaveral National Seashore

Just into Canaveral National Seashore is a turnoff with a boardwalk to Turtle Mound. Back about 1,000 years ago the Timucuan Indians called this barrier island home and we are able to climb (on the boardwalk of course for safety and preservation) this large midden. Its basically their trash dump with millions of discarded shells! Beyond you can see the Atlantic Ocean!

Off of this side of the mound is the Intercoastal Waterway a hundred or so feet below!

I also took another turnoff at Eldora Village on Mosquito Lagoon! Not much happenin' here though, but was a nice little hike. And...it was interesting to see the ferns and air plants growing on these old trees!
