On Jan. 2, 2009, Richard and I started our travel down to our next job with Legacy Resorts...We left our resort park at Deer Creek about 10:13am and headed south on US Rte. 27...It took us a while to get past all the towns with all of these red lights...I think it took us almost 2 hours to go 50 miles...If it was going to be like this the rest of the way, then we were in for a long day of driving...But after 2 hours, we were on our way...
We saw many things along the route...We saw many orange groves...then we saw lots of reed like things that we came to realize was sugar cane...Wow! It was pretty awesome to see...The fields were being burned to make it ready for the next planting for the sugar cane...There were many trucks with open fenced in backs that had full loads of sugar canes in the back of them...
On US Rte. 27, there are no rest stops...There are no rest rooms...and definitely no place to pull in to in order to go potty...We had to pull over at a long turn lane in a town so we could take a potty break..Then on the road again...As we got closer to the area of the campground, there were many nurseries...We have never seen so many nurseries in an area...The other thing we saw were workers in the field...What an eye opener...I know it's a job but it's tough to realize that the field workers don't make that much and that they probably share a "home" to make what they make...
The arrival to Miami Everglades Campground came about 3:13pm....Exactly 5 hours later...We pulled up to the main entrance and walked in to the registration office...There we saw a friendly face, Barbara...Barbara came from Lake Ridge Rv Resort in Hillsville, VA this past summer (2008)...One of the managers was in the office too, Nancy...We introduced ourselves and got our new "home" for the next 3 months...We were put on site 216...It's a pretty good site...We are close to 2 wifi antennas so Richard and I can stay on the internet with hopefully no problems...The area is all grass which is a good switch from sand...We do understand that there are ants under the grass...There is a concrete pad which is nice...Richard decorated up the yard with what he could cause beneath the 4 inches of soil is coral...Yep, coral...Couldn't believe it...Richard kept pounding and pounding to get our flag holders in the ground...to get our holders in the ground that holds our string lights...The awning is out along with a sunscreen panel on the front of the awning and one on the side...Our swing is next to the deck...The Ravens flags are clipped to the flap of the awning...But we could not believe about the coral in the ground...Our rv is all set up until Mar. 27...
That night after setting up, we drove to get a bite to eat...We went to a place of Redland Ribs but it looked scary...So we went on driving...We drove to US Rte. 1 and started looking for Applebees...Next to US Rte. 1 is another road called a Busway...It's the commuter bus lane...That was really something to see...We drove up US Rte. 1 for a while and then we came across Applebees...Next to Applebees is a mall...Southland Mall...We went in and had dinner and drove back home...What a day!
