#summer2021 Journey to the Keys, Day 6 - St. Pete to Marathon.

It is another day on the road.  The journey south continued across the Sky Bridge in Tampa, Naples, Ft. Myers and the Everglades.  The KOA was nice but we did not take advantage of many amenities due to time.  

One last look at the view of the lagoon from our site - DW 47.

Weather was clear through our morning drive down I-75.  We teased each other that we should stop and look at Airstreams. We filled up with gas instead.  Price seems to be holding steady around $2.95, at least in the Naples section of South Florida.  

Stephanie drove from our fuel stop and was at the wheel when we entered the toll road in Alligator Alley.  The sign - no gas for 50 miles!



After Alligator Alley we turned onto South 29.  Watch for panthers!

We got in 2 national park visitor centers - Big Cyprus Preserve and Everglades. 

Then in Homestead, Robert is Here Fruitland.  We bought a Mamie Sapote, a couple of mangos, and a dragon fruit.  The Salome we shared at supper. Then off to watch the sunset at Jolly Roger. It is going to be a wonderful 3 days!

Jamaica Beach, Day 4

Today started slow, as vacation days should.  No real plans other than a bit of shopping and a nap. Quick breakfast and then helped Brandon....
