Miccosokee

Next to Shark Valley National Park is the Miccosokee Museum. This is a Native American museum with an actual village inside. Native people work in the village; each in their own chickee (thatched roof on poles). They offered free fry bread and talks about the culture and the practices. The tour was very interesting.

After the tour was the gator show. We watched a woman handle a gator.


 

The trick to handling gators if to boss them around back and forth for a long time until they get tired and docile.

I have only been to Maplewood State Park once before. The time of the year was autumn and we thought we could snag a campsite. Wrong. Despit...
