We took a nice three-day ride to the Everglades. We don't have any pictures, but want to let folks in southern FL that this is a nice area to ride. Oh, watch out for the gators!

Did you get to Chokoloskee..and the Havana Cafe'..???
Definitely worth the trip. Great authentic Cuban cuisine and some fabulous fishing in the "back country".

Thanks for the heads up. making plans now for the Keys Christmas week. Looking for a two or three day ride back to Ormond Beach, wanted to go to the West coast, maybe this is a good starting point after the Keys.

Would you care to share your route? I was thinking of heading down there early next year. Thanks for the tips on food stops.

Yes, this would be a great detour. Turn west on Alligator Alley and enjoy the view. But be sure to ride during the day. At night the alligators warm themselves on the road.

I was living on the west coast at the time, so I went south on US 301 for most of the route. I'd go Alligator Alley and back up on US441 for the best scenery.

Mike I'm glad you had a good time. That is a cool place. I really enjoyed riding through 41. These pictures were taken last December 29th. I'll be back there this year with the wife after three days over Christmas in the keys. She wants to take an air boat ride!
