Sunshine State of Mind: The Florida Keys
On a sunny Florida day, the Cranky Campers take a drive down the Florida Keys; stopping at beaches for swimming and snorkeling, with a drive down the iconic Seven Mile Bridge. Take me to Florida!
At Home in Homestead
Homestead is home to the Homestead Air Reserve Base, and located between two national parks, Biscayne to the east and Everglades to the west. In addition to access to these South Florida national parks, it is also gateway to the Florida Keys. That said, there are several attractions in this resilient city.
Later Gators: Long Pine Key and the Visitor Center
At the end of the summer, I revisited Everglades National Park. On this visit, the Ernest F. Coe Visitor Center was now open, and I was able to spend some time watching a September Florida thunderstorm from the outside porch overlooking a manmade pond and the river of grass. I also revisited the Anhinga and Gumbo Limbo Trails and trekked over to the Long Pine Trail.
