Hernando de Soto and his band of 600 explorers followed when they marched across the present-day Southeastern United States more than four centuries ago The bill goes next to the president who is expected to sign it into law Interior Department officials say the study will cost more than $100000 and take a year to complete It will pave the way for designating De Soto's route a National Historic Trail in time for the 450th anniversary of his landing along the shore of Tampa Bay in 1539 The trail is expected to begin in Bradenton at the site of the De Soto National Memorial The 30-acre park and interpretative center commemorates De difficult journey which was the first extensive exploration of the interior of the Southeast by Europeans The trail is also certain to cross Tallahassee where De Soto's winter camp of 1539-40 was discovered fay state archaeologists this spring Designation as a National Historic Trail would ensure that those parts of De Soto's route that cross federal lands would be marked and maintained said George Kyle a spokesman for the National Park Service But no land could be purchased to link the trail segments on federal land without specific approval from Congress he said Temptation It comes with the holidays And in many cases it lingers on in the form of unwanted pounds in the months to follow Well you're in luck Because with Physicians
