South Bay, Florida

South Bay is on the southern tip of Lake Okeechobee. There is a 100 mile levee around the lake and bike paths on most of it. The levee was fund by president Hoover to tame the flooding. The area surrounding the lake here is rich farm land producing sugar, beans etc. The calm wind mornings bring out the crop dusters and we are entertained by their aerobatics, if you lived here full time it might become a pain.


I took this photo of the South Bay campground from atop the levee, our vehicle is the on to the right of the pole, there is a lake behind us, each evening as we sat in our chairs by the lake we had an alligator visitor, he would just swim up to the shoreline and watch us. I'm sure he meant no harm, expect he was spoiled by some folks feeding him and he was looking for a hand out.


Chevy on the levee or bike on the levee. The lake is on the left and sugar cane on the right. Nice riding, just returned from 2 miles behind the bike where you have to detour around a golf course, further ahead toured a fish camp and another rv park on an island in the lake. The smoke to the right/ background is from a cane burn. There are many rv parks to choose from in this area.


Caught this crop duster flying over us, looks like a near collision but as I snapped the photo a bird flew in the view.
