In 1963 Aerojet-General built a rocket manufacturing plant in the middle of the Everglades. They were hoping to build rockets for the Apollo moon mission. The rockets were built and tested in a 150 ft. deep silo, the deepest hole ever dug in Florida.
In addition to the site, they dug the largest canal cutting through the Everglades to the Atlantic ocean. Because the rockets were so big (solid fueled), they could only be transfered by barge.
The Saturn rockets ended up with liquid fuel and Aerojet never got the contract. The site was abandoned in 1969, along with the rocket in the silo. It's been sitting there for nearly 50 years.

Near St. Andrews State Park in Panama City is an area where the dolphins will swim right up to you to check you out and see what's happening.
Gabrielle has been swimming with this same pod since she was four years old. They're extremely friendly and curious, and love to pose for a picture.
Shot on a Sony EX1, Flip Ultra HD, and Flip SD in a Flip underwater case.
Here's a post on the whole backstory and technical fiascos.
