After a hike at Conservation 20/20's Galt Preserve and lunch at the Lazy Flamingo, we explore the Calusa Heritage Trail at Pineland. This site on Pine Island off the Lee County, Florida coast was once a part of the Calusa nation in Southwest Florida. The remains of several shell mounds still stand here, as well as part of the Calusa-built transportation network of canals. It was a hot afternoon - unusually hot for April - and we probably made quicker work of our self-guided tour than we would have in more pleasant weather. Still found beautiful things to see and wonder about. Let's go!
