“I think were extremely lucky to have Calusa sites like the Mound House and Mound Key open to paddlers along the Calusa Blueway,” says Calusa Blueway Coordinator Mike Hammond. “Adam’s wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm bring these sites back to life. It’s going to be a fun night learning about the trail’s namesake.”
