Well, the actual name is Tate’s Hell State Forest. It was named for Cebe Tate, who while hunting here, got lost, got dehydrated, got bit by a rattler, and stumbled out of the forest naked and delirious and just before dying, claimed he had been in hell. The state has owned the land for about 25 years now and is actively restoring the forrest. There are many rare plants and endangered animals here, and it has been the only place east of the Rockys that we carry bear spray. We really walk a lot of miles in this area especially the beaches in Carrabelle and on St George Island. Due to Covid this year, we are avoiding restaurants, so we had to buy, shuck, and flame grill our own oysters, and they turned out great. Out on the St Joseph Peninsula, we saw many birds and sea life. Occasionally, you will find a jellyfish or octopus that was caught stuck on the sand by a receding tide.
