Ride to Tamiami Trail and Big Cypress Reservation for Seafood, Frog legs and Gator tails

As posted on the site http://www.ridesnroads.com/events/ride-to-everglades-seafood , we got started at 10 am from Holiday Park, Weston; FL. Weather was really nice and sunny.

This ride was about wonderful scenery, seafood, frog legs and gator tails :)

Deep In Everglades

The following map shows our route.

Tamiami Trail is a highway time machine that passes through Everglades National Park. It seems like, in those days, building it was considered an amazing engineering feat; the Trail was built through sandy pines, oak hammocks and finally the inhospitable swamps of the Everglades.

As we stopped at Dade Corners for some gas, I met an old friend of mine Andrew filling gas, he was going to Alabama Jacks.

Of course, what is a ride in FL without an Alligator.

After few miles we came across Big Cypress sign that confirmed we were going in the right direction.

This is the smallest post office I have ever seen.

Enjoying the ride

I stopped at a gas station at Everglades City; couple of hot bikes that were parked outside.

And Sea Food Depot

Food is really good, I enjoyed their Conk Fritters, one of the best.
