Used to take the kids out to loop road in a Honda Civic (don’t need to 4x4!) back in the ‘90’s and go fishing… One time, tons of “coo-ing”; was about 200 ibis all walking and feeding amount the cypress, talking to each other! Another time a cold snap killed tons of fish and they’re all floating, but hadn’t started smelling/rotting yet… So peaceful among the Cypress trees!!

Just viewed this video. Did you know my uncle, Pete Bethea? I believe he was the second person to make Loop Road his home. He recently passed away, but he wanted his ashes spread near his old homeplace there. There's a roadtrip in the plans! The last shot in this video looks like his old house and dock on the little lake where they used to feed the "pet alligators".

Beautiful country back there. I’d be surprised if you can drive a conventional vehicle back there anymore. Last time I drove the loop, it looked like they were doing artillery practice on it. Lol. Was once approached by law enforcement back there while fishing. Checked my license and told me to watch out for “Bigfoot”. Lol. I asked him if he was serious and he said yes. I am gave a look like he was putting me on. Low and behold, I never saw the elusive beast. lol

OMG, what an awful feeling... running out of gas. Out there in the middle of the glades. I've boated out of Flamingo a few times. The overwhelming feeling I get when I set out from Flamingo is that I am in a truly wild place. You must have been out of your mids facing a night out there with no power, no ability to control the boat. Good on you that you had the cojones to share the story with us. No question, that could have happened to any one of us.

A great day, great memorable people!!!!

One day the outboard of my very little boat was damaged just crossing the Tarpon Creek channel between Coot and White water Bay Bay and nobody wanted to help me. One fishing boat stopped and asked what happened to me and when He realized that I was a Fu.... Cuban he started and run away I had to row all the way up to Flamingo I will never forget that incident I hope that God will bless that guy that run away and left me alone in the middle of nowhere

We hunted the loop back in the 60's. Snakes, Snapping Turtles and Alligator Gar were plentiful. Occasional bobcat....We we popped out on the other end of the loop, we headed back to Miami on US41. Got my first speeding ticket on 41. 85 in a 55 by an FHP dude who was really pissed when I didn't pull over. The guy was parked on the side of the road ahead of me, so I did not think he could have clocked me. Watching him scramble to get in his car through my rear view mirror....The other FHP in the airplane is the one who clocked me...Still laughed my ass off watching him coming after me with guns a blazing...

Loop Road Update! 7/15/2020. I drove from Clearwater, Florida down to Cypress to drive on the Loop road and then to visit Clyde Butchers gallery. I entered Loop road and decided to turn around after 1500 feet, just past the gun club. This unpaved "natural" road is full of rivets and potholes and it is impossible to exceed 10 mph. So the trip would take you an entire day if you could tolerate being tossed all over your vehicle. I arrived in a all wheel Subaru but the road will pound your suspension. I would never even consider driving my truck on this road. So I was disapppointed about this. Next, Clydes business was closed on Wednesday! Another let down but Everglades City made up for it. Very quiet town off season. I'm certain everyone knows everyone else. Nevertheless, interesting things to see and of course Air boat tours rule the landscape. Enjoy! I will definitely go back and I'll take this route next time to Miami from Napes as opposed to Alligator alley. Great drive!

@@urhiredhr421 Excellent. If you are coming down from Naples or west to east drive passed the old Monroe station which no longer is there I was told .but that's where you probably went through first but if you keep driving eastward you will turn right at the 40 mile bend. Entering from there you will see Miccosukee indian homes to your left .you will also pass by the old station where Al Capone had his casino . Couple of camping sites which are closed now and then few more miles to Lucky Cole but about a mile or so after that it turns to dirt road again. Have fun .

We were just driving home from the keys this week and saw the road and attempted driving it trailering our boat. That's wasn't fun AT ALL. What WAS interesting is driving backwards with the boat lead to a zig-zagging pattern, which nearly eliminated the endless shaking. So if you're going to drive it, do an S shape pattern. Do it backwards for best results. 😂 I don't understand why they have a couple thousand tons of gravel at the start of the road but they haven't used it for repairs🤷♂️
