We left Peace River bright and early in the morning. I chose driving along 41 through the Everglades. It was an uneventful three and a half hours. Our arrival was much more interesting than the drive. This resort is actually almost 100% mobile homes. The turn in to the gate house was so shallow we could not get ourselves moved into the center lane out of everyone's way. While I was trying to get us registered a fire truck came by and wanted in...so the gate guard had no choice but to let us through. Finally after getting registered, we were told we had to turn around due to a tight turn we needed to avoid. I got us turned around and we backed in between mobiles. It felt a bit strange... strange enough that I spent the time to get our return trip moved to a different RV park, one that does have mobiles, but at least all RVs park together.
We left Homestead just before 11am, putting our arrival on Big Pine Key at just before 1pm. I called and was told that we could come at any time. I made a video of this leg of our journey. Video length 13 min 56sec.
Thanks for stopping by, please feel free to leave comments or questions, I am here to help!

At first Peace River looks like a sleepy campground, which it is, compared to Orlando. But after a week at each Florida resort I am surprised at which one wins for us. Drum roll....... Peace River! And yes, the pictured signs are all along the river's edge...good thing we are not overly scared of either, cautious yes, but more curious than anything, and no we didn't see either one!
