Flamingo Campground @ Everglades N.P.

Sites were 150'W x 85'L HUGE!!! 41 or 230 had 30/50 amp power, water @ dump station only.

No local TV, cell phone or Internet service for 4 days, but the campfires were great!

The Vultures ate your antennas and windshield wipers!

Crocodile along our boat ride into the Everglades on the saltwater side.

The birds had paradise here!

Sun bathing was mandatory!

Don't pet the wild alligators!

Workamping on the old family farm

We workamped partial summers of 2009-2011 on the old family farm.
We built our FHU RV site from the abandoned old mobile home site.
We grew tomatoes in the PVC tubes, an incredibly successful experiment!
Grandma would have been so proud of all of our flower & garden bed efforts!
We harvested more tomatoes than we could eat from 25 huge plants!
Also pumpkins, pole & bush beans, broccoli, & herbs!
We had lots of wild visitors too!!!
Mother Nature was very good to us!!!
A great end to the growing season!!!
