Myakka River State Park - Deep Hole Cave Exploration Nestled deep within the Myakka River State Park lays a true mystery-awaiting discovery. Like a scene from an old Tarzan movie, Deep Hole is teaming with wild life. Our goal is to explore and document what lays below the alligator infested cave entrance.

Warm Mineral Springs Revision Project (on-going project) Ten thousand years ago giant ice sheets covered most of North America. At that time, Florida had a climate more like North Carolina, unlike the subtropical climate it has today. The vegetation consisted of large grassy plains and thick forests of oak and hickory trees. A variety of animals including Wooly Elephants, Giant Ground Sloths, North American Camels, Saber-Toothed Cats, and many other species, roamed throughout Florida.
