New Resort Alert! Have a new RV? You'll love @cabanaclubrv in Auburndale. Opening in February, this resort is just off Polk Parkway, south of Interstate 4. You'll be close to @elitecablepark, @legolandflorida @safariwilderness, @boktowergardens and other central Florida attractions in Tampa and Orlando. 🧭⁠⠀

We’ve got an ax-throwing venue in Lakeland now! @axcaliber opened in late 2020 and features 14-lanes. Best part - Ax-Caliber is also a coffee shop and restaurant.

Headed out to @axcaliber to have some lunch, throw some axes and do some viking things while wearing my thebeardstruggle hat & ring, and custom blacjacclothing Ægishjálmr shirt.

So funny story. I played baseball and QB for or so long that I couldn't throw the axe right-handed to save my life. Found out I'm a natural axe thrower left handed. If you ever see me with a football in my right hand and an axe in the left...you better run!

If you're in or near the Lakeland area, you need to check this place out. It's so much more than axe throwing. I'd venture to say the axe throwing takes a back seat to the food and drinks. I'll get more videos and pictures to highlight it soon! Keep an eye on my stories for more! Or hey...just GO! Let them know the big viking Beard Struggle Guy (and Visit Central Florida) sent you!

This path will poin-settcha in the right direction!👉⁠

Next week, the holidays will once again return to @BokTowerGardens, it'll just look a little different. Due to COVID-19, Pinewood Estate will not host Holiday Home Tours in 2020, but that is certainly not putting a damper on holiday cheer!⁠
