So much cement and so many cars.  Signs saying \u201cno animals\u201d on the beach, huge mansions and cute old cottages hidden between the ever growing cultural on slot of Naples and Key West and so many  small towns everywhere\u2026\u2026.<br \/>\nWe did stay in a great old Mobil Home Park outside Naples the last two nights  The Greystone RV Park on Hwy 41.    The park was primarily for stationary travel trailers from the mid 1960\u2019s.  Most of them had fences around their wheels and one or two small building attached to them.  Very pristine old trailers well kept and in good repair.  Was like walking back into the early sixties.   Then there were a few spaces for  travelers like us to camp for a night or two.<br \/>\nSo there was some magic left in Naples.  I\u2019d spent the morning photographing some of the old trailers and wanted to do some trippy- dippy images of them connected to some images of the mansions in Naples so off we went on a walking tour.  No way we were going to drive the airstream through upper class Naples stopping to make photographs along the way.   After what seemed like miles of walking we started back to where we\u2019d parked and from over my shoulder I heard what seems to be a familiar voice shouting some unrecognizable words and who should appear but Richard (the artist who didn\u2019t use one of my many photographs of him, or ask me to shoot a new one,  for his first book cover, may he rot in painters hell) Segalman.  Surprise he was in Naples for a party and we just happened to occupy the same space as he.  Met his friends Paul and Eileen, seems we were walking right by their home and he came out just then.  Had a nice visit Paul and Eileen and then Paul drove us back to our parking place and off we went .<br \/>\nLeft the big road and got onto HWY 17, hit farm country, or what is left of it after the last hurricane.  Good to see small towns, people moving a bit slower and no \u201cNo Animals Allowed\u201d signs.  Ran through fields and swamps all afternoon and arrived after dark at The Peace River Camp in Arcadia Fl.  www.Peace River Campground.com   Looking forward to seeing the Peace River in the daylight.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/miccosukee-indian-and-aliga.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"432\" height=\"324\" \/><br \/>\nMiccosukee indian and alligator show in the Everglades<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/indian-and-alligator.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"432\" height=\"324\" \/><br \/>\nMore of the show<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/1-trailer-and-mansion.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"504\" height=\"191\" \/><br \/>\n#1<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/gravel.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"504\" height=\"198\" \/><br \/>\n#2<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/neighbors2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"504\" height=\"194\" \/><br \/>\n#3<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/neighbors3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"504\" height=\"197\" \/><br \/>\n#4<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/notice-plant.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"504\" height=\"195\" \/><br \/>\n#5<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/water.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"504\" height=\"196\" \/><br \/>\n#6<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/paul-eliene-richard-heather.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"432\" height=\"324\" \/><br \/>\nPaul,Eilene,Richard and Heather Naples<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/henry-pillow.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"432\" height=\"324\" \/><br \/>\nHenry with an additude&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>January 20, 2005 Peace River Camp Arcadia Fl With Key West and the Everglades behind us we pulled in and out of Naples.
