Still Running....

We spent the last 3 days in the northwestern end of the Everglades, camping at Collier Seminole State Park. Below is a funky old general store in Chokaloskee Island near Everglades City which is now a museum of how life used to be. The back of the store overlooks the bay. Location, location, location! The Smallwood Store also features the distinctive stitchwork and beading of the Seminoles.

It takes a while to take it all in....

Out in the canal, dinner is served...or caught, and yes, the place was crawling with gators.

At Everglades National Park, we took the boat tour of the 10,000 Islands Wildlife Refuge. There were these birds.....

And meanwhile, back at the ranch, there were these Roadtreks! This was the camping ambience at Collier Seminole. Fortunately, folks were considerate and quiet...until Friday night of the 3 day holiday weekend. But we left Sat. AM for central Fl. Oh darn!
