Everglades NP to Jonathan Dickinson SP, Jupiter, FL:  Left the Everglades at around 10:30.  This is our sixth year coming to the Everglades and we’ve never seen a snake in the park.  But at the kiosk on our way out there was a picture of two eastern diamondback rattlesnakes in the road just off the nature trail, which we’ve been on a few times.  They were huge!  They’re all around, but we’ve never seen them.  I started driving, taking the Florida Turnpike north out of Homestead.  We stopped at the West Palm Beach service area after two hours, had lunch, and Mike took over driving.  Arrived at Jonathan Dickinson and were set up by 3:00.  We now have full hook-ups.  After getting set up we drove to Hobe Sound to do the laundry and grocery shopping.  Spent most of the evening getting caught up on e-mail and other computer stuff. 

Greater Miami--looks pretty good from the water.

Rush hour traffic we encountered on our way out of Miami.
