In a work-a-day environment we often loose sight of what the term "relaxing" is all about. Even though I am the saltwater guide, I often wander into the freshwater world to seek that relaxation.

I found a new area recently that offers plenty of that "R" word. Western Volusia County in Florida around the city of Deland offers a myriad of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.
