OK, you're there! No need to rub it in.

Thanks, by the way.

We had an absolutely awesome day. Snorkeling, jet skis, paddle boards, kayaks, dolphins playing around the boat, beer....great weather and good people. Crew on the boat waited on us like we were royalty...awesome day

 

[TriumPhil]

OK, you bastids. That does it for me...

How's about identifying those mugs in the photos?

 

[R3Tex]

We will be pulling out in the morning, riding through the glades and then up the west coast. Weather looks to be fair all the way home

With that route - I'm gonna miss you again! Have a safe trip.

Cold front came through here last night, with rain ahead of it.

Another's coming through tomorrow AM, with rain ahead of it tonight.

If you're taking Alligator Alley across to the west; nothing much but a couple of Indian places for about a hundred miles, until you get to Naples.

You guys sure make some good time. Yup, it's sorta nasty down here. Cold and wet. Well, cold for Florida anyhow.

Instead of Alligator Alley (I-75 north), can I suggest that you guys go across the state on Rt 41 (Tamiami Trail). It's a little slower but much more scenic - you'll have the chance to see plenty of gators in their native habitat. Also, there's a place called Clyde Butcher's gallery. Butcher is an accomplished photographer who has been photographing Florida and the Glades for many years. Much of his work has been compared to Ansel Adams'. I'd recommend a stopover (1/2 hour or so) at Clyde's gallery. And it's a GREAT place to see live gators in the streams surrounding the gallery and right across the street. You can pick up 75 North at the west end of 41 in Naples - easy to do and well marked.

We were planning on hwy 41 so good to know that its a nice ride
