One of my favorite stops when riding in the south Florida back country....

Just a tidbit of information on the Desert Inn and that period in history. It originally opened as a bordello for the cow hunters (cowboys) who worked cattle in that area. Those cow hunters were called crackers due to the type of whips they used when driving the herd.

AND, they were all crackers, too.

Still in cattle ranch country.

Yep. I have several family members that live in the area (Lake Wales, Indian Lake Estates, and one near River Ranch). Cattle is half of the Ag industry today in Florida with 4 of the ten largest cattle operations in the country.

Here's a food spot to hit in that area. The Cherry Pocket. https://g.page/CherryPocket?share

Went thru the pics on their web site. Man do they make some appetizing dishes!

Our current standby is JB's Fish Camp just north of Canaveral Natl. Seashore: http://jbsfishcamp.com/

Best Pina Coladas in Florida and right on the water.

It's just so hard to find park at your door these days.

Looks like he tried to stop before he hit the building and jack knifed the rig.
