Hey, gang,
I heard back in early November that there was a "cut list" for certain Florida State Parks due to planned 2009 budget cuts by the Florida legislature. I attended some meetings in November and it sounded like it wouldn't be an issue until March. Then the legislature decided it will meet in special session on January 5 to start cutting programs. So...
I've written about all 22 of the Florida State Parks at risk of closing and posted details about them at http://www.floridahikes.com ... you can access from the interactive map on the front of the site. I've also set up a blog at http://floridahikes.com/stateparkissues for folks to share their concerns and comments. If you live near one of the affected state parks and can add details, photos, video ... please get in touch with me ASAP and I'll set up a userid for you to join the blog. I'll be contacting key Tallahassee folks again to get them to keep up with the blog.
Thanks for caring and enjoy your holidays!
Cheers, Navigator
