As we head south towards Miami, the temperature’s get hotter, especially at night. The advantage of staying in a state park is the shower facilities, access to trails and other amenities. The disadvsntage is the increased noise from RV’s. running generators, AC’s, etc. I find the background white noise soothing at night and don’t mind it. At this point I’m choosing comfort and convenience over atmosphere. You can learn to appreciate whatever situation arises and mske the best of it. Our journey in Florida is nearly over and there is much wisdom to be gleaned from each moment. So what happened a moment ago is irrelevant to what’s happening right now. Some wise person said, “the past is history, the future is a mystery, the gift is now, that’s why it’s called the present”.
The state park is named after Barton Collier who gained fame by financing the Tamiami Trail across the Everglades His only stipulation was that they name the county after him. He also donated 800,000 acres to create the park. The picture is the mrmorial erected in his honor.
