"text": "Taking some time off that needed to be used before the end of the year, and today, took a trip on the Tamiami Trail. This is part of my continued effort to get out, but yet avoid close contact with groups of people.\nThe Tamiami trail runs from Tampa to Miami, thus the name. We drove from Miami to Naples, Florida.\u00a0 The Trail opened in 1928, but since 1968 when Alligator Alley(now I-75 from Naples to Miami) opened, it has been more sparsely used.\nAlong the early part of the route is the Dade-Collier Training Airport, whcih was meant to be a large Miami airport, but was halted after only one runway was built. The airport\u2019s callsign is amusingly TNT. 2.6 million sticks of dynamite were used to build the Tamiami trail.\nThe Trail forms the northern border of Everglades National Park, which is the third-largest park in the United States. The trail is the dividing line between the Everglades National Park and the Big Cypress National Preserve. The Preserve is a cypress swamp, compared to the Everglades which is a submerged prairie.\nOur first stop was the Oasis Visitor Center, which is a former airport hanger/restaurant, which adjourns the Oasis Ranger Station airport. While we didn\u2019t go inside, we were able to, shown by a dedicated park ranger, see some alligators.\nWe also made a brief photo stop at the Ochopee Post Office, which was a former storage shed that serves a region of 130 miles.\nFrom there, we headed to the Big Cypress Bend Boardwalk. This takes you into yet another park, the Fakahatchee Strand State Park. We walked a bit of the boardwalk, which goes about a half mile into the park. If you weren\u2019t looking for it, you wouldn\u2019t find the boardwalk. We parked at a closed building, and walked a dirt trail off the highway until we found the boardwalk, which continued for another half mile.\nAfter that, the road passed through the Picayune Strand State Forest, and the Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge. The Ten Thousand Islands are a chain of hundreds(not thousands) of islands that are mostly uninhabited.\nThe road also passes along the Miccosukee reservation and multiple villages.\nOur final destination was Naples, Florida. there, we got a look at the Gulf Of Mexico at Lowdermilk Park, one of the many beach parks in the area, before turning back and returning on Alligator Alley, aka I-75, which is the faster, if less scenic route.\n\u00a0\n\u00a0",

No, I’m not watching Georgia Tech. I watched the first half and that was plenty, thank you very much.
