    Cattle drive demo at Lake Kissimmee

    If your over from 1st October to 1st May what about taking the kids to see a 1876 COW CAMP reconstruction in Lake Kissimmee State Park?

    Sounds like it will be fun - will report back when I done it.

    The blurb says:-

    As you meander down the short trail to the Cow Camp, you will travel back in time to 1876. At the end of the trail, you will find a Florida Cow Hunter in a frontier camp along the route of a cattle drive. He will be cooking, making coffee, tending to the cattle or just resting up until the next roundup or cattle drive. The Cow Hunter will be very happy to share stories about what his life is like and the challenges he faces. Pack up a picnic lunch and bring the whole family out to Lake Kissimmee State Park to enjoy this little bit of The Real Florida.

    **New Cow Camp Hours**
    The Cow Camp is open from October 1st through May 1st on Saturdays and Sundays from 9:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.. The Cow Camp is also open on Holidays (except for Christmas Day) from 9:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

    That sounds really good. It would be interesting to hear what it is like.

    We've been a couple of times. It's a fun thing to do, although you won't see an actual cattle drive - there's just the one "old-timer" there, and he has his hands full drinking coffee and talking to the visitors.

    That sounds like our kind of thing. Anything like that really interests us so we've put it on our to-do list for the next trip to the villa [msnsmile].
