Everglades National Park to Jonathan Dickinson State Park, Jupiter, FL:  Left the Everglades (reluctantly) this morning at 10:00.  Another great stay here.  I drove for the first time since December.  Taking the Florida’s Turnpike, drove past greater Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Boca Raton, and Palm Beach. Stopped at the West Palm Beach service area for lunch and Mike took over driving.  Arrived in Jonathan Dickinson State Park and were set up by 2:30.  We’re directly across Hwy. 1 from Burt Reynolds’ place.  Headed out to our favorite restaurant for dinner, but it’s closed and has been bought out by Bubba Gump Shrimp Company.  OMG!  Went next door to Jetty’s and had an appetizer and drinks.  Had some great fun with some people from New Jersey at the table next to us.  Back home to our site and watched TV.  I’d rather be in the Everglades.  At least Jupiter has a lot of open areas dedicated to wildlife preservation.  They haven’t built high-rises or shopping strips on every space available.
