Intersections on Highway 41

I took a longer break than expected to return to my pictorial trip on U.S. Highway 41, due to Hurricane Irma.  Luckily, Irma didn't do as much damage as it could have, because it went inland instead of dragging a big storm surge up the coast.  Obviously, it did some damage, but even though it was sporting a bull's-eye, the state managed to avoid the worst outcomes.  And learned a lot in the process about what could happen in those worst case scenarios.

So, now that we have returned to Highway 41, I expect to move faster.  We have a long way to go.  So the next two stops are the intersection with State Route 29, which can be taken to Everglades City, and the intersection with State Route 92, which can be taken to Marco Island.   I will note with these articles that both of them were hit pretty hard by Irma, and the water supply in Everglades City was contaminated for a time.

So, now that I have not ignored the hurricane, here are the two stops.  There isn't much at the intersection with the road to Everglades City:




There isn't a lot more at the intersection with the road to Marco Island (San Marco Road), but this intersection is inside a state park (Collier-Seminole State Park), so it's a bit greener.



Next stop:  Naples.
