About the dike

That's what they say.

Reviews say it's pretty good.

Along 27 where the dikes hold back Okey...

Giant engines and pumps to keep the water where it belongs

Amazing!!!!

Mom on this big 6 banger..1240 HP

Water in the canal on this side goes to Miami

Getting into Sugar country

One of, if not the most, pathetic towns I've ever been in... but by the lake and a state park nearby... which is nice.

Over the dike and going down into Pahokee State Park....Okey finally in sight.. and really rough... wind blowing hard.

Looking toward the restaurant and boat dock at  Pahokee State Park....Beautiful

Walkway and wave protection around marina at the Pahokee State Park

Pahokee... give you an idea why it's crummy...also watched a young girls walking down the main highway drinking a 40 out of a bag.
