Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Jewel of the St. Johns RiverWhen travelers plan a getaway to Florida, they are almost universally swept into a commercialized current that pulls them toward artificial resort destinations, crowded amusement parks, and transactional beachfront strips. The modern travel industry has conditioned us to believe that memories must be purchased, that a fulfilling vacation requires ticket counters, entry fees, and regular credit card swipes. But if you steer your vehicle away from the coastal gridlock and journey deep into the historic heart of Putnam County, the commercial facade disappears entirely. The fast-paced tourist traps give way to ancient cypress swamps, historic brick streets, and the timeless, slow-moving majesty of one of the world's rarest rivers. Welcome to Palatka, Florida-the authentic, rugged jewel of the St. Johns River.
