It doesn't take a lot of rain to flood the desert.
Very true. But even without the weather, not my idea of a good time with no showers, real toilets or sane people.

There was a woman who gave birth there this year, who didn't even know she was pregnant.
True story: My aunt was so fat, she didn't realize she was pregnant until her water broke!

And another person found dead in a pool of blood that is being investigated as a homicide.
This should surprise no one.

Of course all that would be considered "just another Tuesday in the Ocala Forest" so I dunno what to tell ya.
I've never been, and now I know not to bother.
