Today Kevin and I left the Keys behind…*sigh*…and drove to a KOA campground near Fort Myers. We will be staying for just a couple nights before heading a little further north to a state campground (and a visit with one of my sisters!). Our scenic route took us through the Big Cypress National Preserve (https://www.nps.gov/bicy/index.htm ), where we stopped at the visitor center and saw lots of alligators and quite a few new birds! The Big Cypress National Preserve was established in 1974 as the first ever national preserve, and came about in response to a proposed jetport development in the area.
Travel, live, experience!
