John Pennekamp state park

Tonight we are at John Pennekamp SP in the keys about a 100 miles from our destination.  Last night we stayed at another state park, Collier-Seminole SP.  We spent most of the free time riding bikes and walking on trails and boardwalks in the Everglade's NP.  The weather is great and in the 70's.  Here are some pics.  The machine is the Bay city Michigan walking dredge machine from 1920's.  It was used to build the road thru the Everglades from the west coast of Florida to the East coast called the Tamiami trail.  The butterfly's are Zebra Longwing.  The alligators were in the Everglades.
