My Outdoor Florida Bucket List

This winter instead of making a yearly state to-do list, I decided to just make a bigger state bucket list.  Then I decided to turn this into a little series. 

I wanted to do specific states that I spend a lot of time in, want to spend a lot of time in, or am close to a lot. 

I also wanted to do more general regional bucket lists for all the other things I want to do, which is a lot.  They are all pretty outdoor focused with a few non-outdoorsy things, too.

I’m starting this little series with my outdoor Florida Bucket list.  As I do things and write posts for them, I’ll update this to link back to those.  If I do something and don’t have a post, I’ll just cross it out.  I would like to do one a month with 12 total.

These bucket lists are partially to help me keep track of things, but also to inspire you to get out there, too.  You can find the rest of my Florida posts here and my bucket list posts here. 

While this is outdoor-focused, there are so many other cool things to do in Florida, too.  As I find new awesome hikes and activities, I’ll continue to add to and update the awesome Florida bucket list to make it even better.
