I well remember Alligator Alley in the mid 70’s well before the rebuild....every week a Caddy w/ New Jersey plates w/ a dead guy in the trunk was always found abandoned

Last time I was on Alligator Alley I was a kid going from Naples to Fort Lauderdale. Mom kept saying look at the pretty Orchids in the trees until dad pulled over so we could pick one. Walking to the tree line dad said STOP, look what’s on that mound! It was a 10 foot Diamond Back sunning itself a dozen feet from where I stopped. I don’t think my feet touched the ground running back to the car. In retrospect I think I could have been bitten easier running than walking.

Yeah times have changed.Today its a high speed toll road with troopers making big time busts at the western end and the injuns making big bucks in the middle selling $3.00 cokes at the only gas station.The semi-holes control all the gambling in S.Fla and dabble in other stuff as well but mostly they sit back and drink a lot of firewater on their air boats and smoke some more natural “tobacco” if you get my drift.
