I felt this. One of my partners cars was hit with a bat because she had a pride sticker on it. Our partner was asked to resign as a math teacher because they're trans and respected students' pronouns. By the end of COVID I was concealed carrying just to go grocery shopping.

I miss Florida wildlife deeply. I was part of Florida trail association thought I was never going to leave but life throws curve balls it's up to you to figure out how to catch them.

Alabama native. Right there with you. The people changed so much during COVID that we started making plans in 2020 to get out before the next election. We moved this summer. Life is better and I'm no where near as worried about having to shoot someone to protect myself or family.

I brought a jar of red clay dirt with me. I'll always miss the woods and creeks I knew.

Damn I should have brought some of that clay with me too.

We left 2022 I don't have anywhere as much money as I did when I lived there but I'm far happier then I was there post COVID. Glad to hear you and your family are safer now.

Nothing quite like Florida cold springs for sure. I lived in Orlando and definitely took advantage of Rock Springs, Wekiwa, Blue Springs, etc. Truly magical places.

Thanks friend you reminded me of vortex springs in Ponce De Leon that's some good memories.
