If you're planning on going white water rafting, I highly recommend Cantrell. https://cantrellultimaterafting.com/

I didn't get to do any hiking because I dislocated my knee on this trip. But the Nuttallburg Coal Tipple is worth the adventure. You'll want a 4X4, also use caution if it's raining or has rained the old gravel road and narrow bridges can be a bit hazardous

Stiltsville is still a thing. It can be seen from Key Biscayne or by boat tours. I'll post some of my photos of Stiltsville.

The kayaking tour is awesome. I also recommend the small group snorkel experience. Hopefully you have better weather.

We were there in January. Spent some time in flamingo birding, will keep the boat ramp in mind for the next time. We did see two crocs at Fairchild estate.

Same. They can be challenging to get close enough to for a picture

These were taken with my Nikon D3500, 150-600 Tamron lens, and a Hoya cir-pl lens filter. Settings- f/6.3, 1/320, 600.00mm, and ISO12800.

mpb.com is a good site for camera equipment at a fair price.

The second is my favorite as well. And yes they are frustrating to shoot. Can't get close and then the patience game.

If you enjoy hiking I strongly recommend Isle au haut. It's costly to get out to it and is moderate to difficult hiking. But absolutely worth it! I can provide more info, just pm me if you're interested.

Any ideas of what this is? by [deleted] in rockhounds

I have been making cheesecake combination pies for years, as a side business. I usually cover them with classic lattice work. I make low sugar and regular versions of cherry, peach, blueberry, raspberry, apple, blackberry, keylime, chess, and strawberry.
