The son of a Peat Miner in Central Florida, Dave spent much of his childhood amongst two of Florida's great staples: Disney and Wetlands. So we spent the next two days touring the mine, Disney's property, and some of the lake/swamp area of Florida. We started with the peat mine, where Dave's father has been hard at work for nearly thirty years. Here Dave got to re-live his summer days of operating the front-end loaded and show Emily a little of how it's done. Emily also got to tour the operation and learn that, yes, one man's dirt and refuse is another man's treasure. And that second man will indeed pay a lot of money for it.
We then toured Disney's property. Although we didn't have time to justify spending 80 bucks each on tickets to the parks, there was plenty to see on the grounds alone. The most fun part was the marketplace known as Downtown Disney.
On the way home Emily got to see another Florida staple- orange groves:
