Just got this.

Yeah that could be nasty, mosquitoes are the size of drones.... and it's swamp all around it. Now since it became part of I-75 and get federal funds they have several rest areas and a few road rangers that go up and down helping folks but at one time it was just a two lane road in the middle of the Everglades.

Yes. It was just a two lane road and not a lot of traffic then. I guess a lot of people didn't like crossing there back then.

I would not mind getting bitten by a gator now and then if it keeps me away from hotel guests and AirBNB party people.

Actually I said hotels but I meant condos. There is only one hotel in the island locally owned and it's a historical building. Two story building. Chain stores are not allowed either, everything is locally owned, except one CVS pharmacy. One local bank, a couple lawyers, a few real estate offices, many stores and restaurants all mom and pop shops. USed to be three grocery places. one got destroyed and is rebuilding, one is for sale and a large one fully operational.
