Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park is home to Lucifer, the oldest captive hippopotamus in the Americas. He dabbled in show biz in his early years and has lived at Homosassa Springs since 1964. Lu, as he is now known, is so popular that the governor granted him special Florida citizenship in order to allow him to stay in this park as a non-native species.

Picture this: I’m relaxing outside on our campsite at Hillsborough River State Park when my youngest suddenly starts pointing and exclaiming at someone across the way. Sure enough, our neighbors were also camping there! They were in the area for a Munzee event. But what on Earth was Munzee?
