Day 66 11/20/06 Ft. Myers/Bahia Honda State Park

Hi Everyone,

I'm finally getting some-what caught up with my updates!!

The above pictures are:

1-5 Fort Myers- I stayed here one night. It basically was a mobile home park that had empty spots, and instead of filling them with more mobile homes they let RV's and tenter's rent the spots. There is electric & water hook ups at the sites. There was a nice heated pool and clean, large bath house.

6-9 Were taken at an Information Place that I stopped in on the way to Bahia Honda. There were some very hungry fish in a sm. pond just outside the office. There was a banana tree and an orchid tree too.

10-30 This is Bahia Honda State Park. It is one of the 880 keys in Florida. (side note : out of the 880 Keys in Florida- only 30 are inhabited by people) The sites were great!! most were surrounded on 3-sides by trees and a wooden fence. They all had grills & picnic tables, plus electric & water. The site I had was in a good location. If you looked thru the trees at the back of my site the beach was about 100' away. The walk way to beach was about 20' from me (it ran along the side of my site), and the bath house was 30' diagonally across from me!! The beach for swimming was about a 2 min. drive down from me. There were a lot of trails to explore, and they had several nature programs set up so you could learn about the critters in the area!

I was here for 3 days - 2 nights. I would definitely recommend this park to all. One last side note: only tents & pop ups were allowed here- no RV's.

Well I have one more set of pictures to go....the ones of Key West itself!! So I'll be back soon. Until then.... take care everyone-Love Donna

The pictures are great.  Loved the one of the wave breaking on the beach, you caught it perfectly!  You need to set up a barter with some of these tourist places, your pictures for their next advertisement in exchange for free camping.  You could save a lot of money that way.  LOL.  (But I am serious) Chat with ya soon.  Love, Debbi
