Robinson Preserve Lovers: We are trying to get Bradenton, Florida, home of Robinson Preserve AND the Taking Flight GeoTour on the map as the best small town for Geocaching. (I admit - I'm hoping we win because if we do we may be able to put in another GeoTour too!). This will recognize our own Taking Flight GeoTour, the first official GeoTour in Florida with TWO stops in Robinson, as well as all of the AWESOME geocaches in our area. Please visit this website and vote (you can even do it every day) - we'd love to see the tour and the preserves YOU love recognized! http://www.bestoftheroad.com/town/bradenton-fl/3615

Rand McNally wants to put you on the map! Our search for the Best Small Towns in America continues in 2013.
