I
made John stop at the smallest post office in the United States. The
interesting part to me was that there were a lot of people stopping at the post
office to take pictures. We tourist will take pictures of anything!
This
is the Skunk Ape Research Center. Well…it’s also a gift store (lots of Skunk
Ape T-shirts) and campground. But there’s a section that talks about the Skunk
Ape, which is the local name for Bigfoot since he apparently gets stinkier in the swamps
of Florida. This area is supposed to have the largest sightings of Bigfoot
outside of the Northwest. The rangers make fun of this whole thing. Sometimes
people will hear a noise in the area (probably a gator) and ask about it. The
rangers have been known to tell them it’s the Skunk Ape. At the ‘Research
Center’, there was a picture of the Skunk Ape, a casting of his footprints, and
they sold a booklet about him. Very cool!
