Weird day trips from Tampa

The strangest Tampa finds are often a short drive out. These 5 day trips — Cassadaga Spiritualist Camp, May-Stringer House (Hernando Historical Museum), Boyett's Grove & Citrus Attraction and more — are each hand-vetted and sourced: ghost towns, hot-spring soaks, roadside oddities, and odd small-town museums worth the gas. A weird day trip is its own kind of date.
