After a delightful chat with our neighbors across the way, we broke camp and headed out of Everglades National Park and south on US-1. We’re in new territory. We lived in Florida for fifty years and never visited the Everglades NP or the upper Keys. It’s a pleasant and short drive from Homestead to Key Largo. We just sort of poked around a little bit getting ideas for ways to visit in the future but felt a bit hampered with the trailer behind. We did get a fabulous Seafood Burritos lunch at Snappers in Key Largo. The local brew was good too. Then we headed north on US-1 into Miami then over to Miami Beach and up A1A. We must be crazy. It was a gorgeous day and with the windows and the sunroof open we enjoyed the sun-drenched glory of Miami but were glad too to escape the frenzy. Ended up camping on a tiny overflow lot about 15 feet from US-1 and three feet from the restrooms in the smallest KOA in the country, in downtown Ft Pierce. Grateful for a place to park the camper but not anxious to stay long.
Burgh House Hampstead
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
