Scenes from Port Charlotte on Highway 41

Now that we've crossed the Peace River, Highway 41 goes through Charlotte Harbor and into Port Charlotte -- and there isn't much there.   Here's a highlight, the "X" intersection of Highway 41 and Highway 776.





Since there isn't much to see, we might consider visiting the Emerald City.  Bring your dollar bills.  The building is a bank, you'd have to drive a little further to get to paradise.  Just follow the yellow brick road.

 


Getting back on the road, the Deer Creek Prairie Preserve (forested area) is just before the Myakka River crossing.  I think the Streetview camera had a smudge.





And we'll finish here with a crossing of the Myakka River, one of Florida's semi-wild rivers.  Closer to Sarasota is the Myakka River State Park. 



Down the road is Venice, and we may take a side trip to the beach.
