Travel in Florida: All About Elephants at Two Tails Ranch

It’s not an elephant sanctuary, although I’m aware of at least one in Florida, and since its inception in 1984, about 300 other elephants have passed through its gates.

There’s No Crying on a Harley-Davidson, But I Did Anyway
Just as there is no crying in baseball, there is no crying on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Yeah, well, I’m here to confess I did just that.
