During the Cuban Missile Crisis of the 1960’s, a portion of the Everglades National Park was used by the U.S. Army as a missile site for the defensive installation of Nike missiles in three bunkers.
There are no missiles there any longer but the bunkers still exist and tours are provided a couple of times a day. Unfortunately for us, we didn’t arrive at the site until after the last tour of the day was already underway and upon reading the sign near the gate we decided not to go looking around on our own.
The weather was once again less than optimal for photography and with a breeze blowing, also not that warm for cycling but we decided to cycle back over to the Anhinga Trail for another visit with the Black Vultures and the Alligators.
