She sure was a special place!

I was able to take my whole family to CRK in May before the hurricanes struck. We stayed at the lodge so my elderly parents and young kids were able to escape the bugs, heat, and lightning midday but still able to enjoy the wonders of Flamingo. I hope they rebuild some lodging so out of town visitors can continue to spend more than a few hours down there. When I come down I usually travel by skiff and we set a tent up on the bow so we don't need to use a chickee.
