Well that's the main reason we're doing the videos, many of the old folks with the great stories are unfortunately passing and history is being lost.

Sadly they seemed as if it was a norm to be fed, a spit in the was good enough to interest them to come over.

Not sure if many of you have heard of Lucky Cole or met him, but he was a close friend of Greg Dupignac.

We interviewed him as he discusses his business of photography and life on Loop Road.

You mean nails. What about the other one about 12 inches above it sticking out the other way?

One of the members of our group has been visiting loop road for many years.

As a team we've started to go out and film and take pictures out on the loop for about 2 months now.

From what I hear there are many opportunities out on the loop road, just like anything just a matter of being in a certain spot at the right time. If you continue west past shark valley as you approach the big bend you have the entire loop road traveling west. You can continue west through Ochopee and approaching Everglades City with wonderful locations.

One spot to definitely check out on Loop Road is the Sweetwater strand.

These truly fascinate me, the way they root on to the trees.

Many thanks for the info, floridareel and I do have several water tanks under the van, but still quite a bit of clearance. I watched a youtube video last night where you could almost get lost in the ruts and the young couple became almost lost in the darkness and was driving on something that hardly resembled a trail as it was so grown up, and by the time they finally made it out think that they would have almost kissed the ground! Thanks again and take care!

I actually saw a 18 wheeler driving down loop road from east to west, there was a accident on US41 and the officer probably told the driver to make a u turn but he failed to understand and instead continued down Loop Road.

Nice photo. Any pythons there?


Didn't stick around too long to look, we were filming the rain coming down as we passed the trees was able to take a quick shot after we finished.

Simple shout, thought it would be great to pull the nice greens and reds in the RAW image.

Beautiful image, floridareel and is any part of loop road paved. I had intended to ask Gregory but never got around to doing so. About four years ago we camped at the Big Cypress Campground overnight when we were on our way from the Everglades to the Gulf side and the people in the campsite beside us said that they had been on Loop Road and their camper van which was very similar to our Dodge 3500 van that had been converted by Road Trek into a compact camper. They seemed to have made it ok and was just a little dusty and dirty and think that it late February or early March but if it has deep ruts as I saw on a video taken in Fakahatchee Strand I don't want to take it on! Many thanks! (Swamp-Cork) Corky!

Yes in fact there are about 15 miles of paved road if you travel from East to West. If you enter from the western side (where monroe station used to be) it's a dirt road.

You should be able to cross with no issues the dirt road is in good shape. We actually saw a few tourist driving down in rental Corvettes and mustangs.

Let me see if I can post a true size image for those interested in really seeing the details on the snake.
