When we lived in Clearwater and drove up to Sowal or to visit my dad in Chipley, we would stop at this quaint little park/rest stop on Hwy. 19/98 near Fanning Springs, I think. It was located on the banks of a river, maybe the Suwanee. But posted on a sign near the banks of the river read, "Beware of falling snakes from trees!" The first time I saw that I almost broke my neck trying to run from the beautiful oak I was standing beneath!Ewww, same....now that would freak me out.
I was naive and never thought snakes hung out in trees, literally! Maybe they were moccasins?
