Wait! Wait! There’s more to Everglade City that we haven’t seen?
we parked our scooters with the big boys 
Little Havana Restaurant 
Dale qualifies to sit here (by a fish cleaning station)
Then there’s the historic Rod and Gun Club. It has the feel of Old Faithful Inn at Yellowstone and The Lodge at Yosemite. Built in 1864, the Rod and Gun has counted a few U.S. presidents amongst its guests including Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Truman and Nixon. It was originally built for fur trading between the Indians and the white men. It’s definitely a remnant of old Florida.
look at that huge alligator hide and the tiny keys deer head 
Picking up supper at Grimm’s Stone Crab. Only the claw is harvested.

Bedtime stories
We visited with John and Bobby, two delightful RV park residents who owned their own RV lot. From them we learned that several of the RVs in the park were worth $2,000,000. Yes, my zeros are correct. $2,000,000. To bad it was dark or I’d of had pictures! Here’s a couple of links to some of the ones we saw in the park.

I was surprised at how many companies there were that make these luxurious luxury motor coaches. It’s more than just these two!
Floccinaucinihilipilification
The Florida stone crab loses its limbs easily to escape from predators or tight spaces, but their limbs will grow back. When a claw is broken such that the diaphragm at the body/claw joint is left intact, the wound will quickly heal itself and very little blood is lost. Each time the crab molts, the new claw grows larger.
