YouTube Video Description

Welcome to the fastest growing city in the entire United States! It’s located in Central Florida around 80 miles from Orlando and 100 miles from Tampa. While it is a bit of a drive from the coastal beaches Florida is known for, it is close to crystal clear springs, a massive forest and even an incredible canyon you can zip line through. In this episode we’re going to show you why Ocala is not at all what we expected, but is absolutely worth visiting. #explorcation #florida #ocala Thanks to Nomad Lane for sponsoring this episode.
