Ocala National Forest

This week, I traveled headlong into the Ocala National Forest in desperate search of one thing: a Florida black bear. I learned about the forest, the people on its outskirts, the bears hiding in the woods, and the history that built this place. Our theme song is Good Thoughts by Lobo Loco. Additional music this week is Basic Banjo Man by Lobo Loco.
