Fossils, botany/herbalism, Keys history - this place has it all!
Windley Key Fossil Reef Geological State Park的点评
点评:This is truly a hidden gem tucked away in the middle keys! If you are interested in fossils, Keys history, botany, and/or herbalism, this park - and the phenomenal tours they offer - are a must-see!
Carl and Mike were the very friendly and funny at check-in and, after a hilariously awful misunderstanding on my part, I was the only person taking the $2 tour of the park. If they are offering a tour, TAKE IT. Mike was insanely knowledgeable, giving all sorts of history, pointing out every species of plant, and answering questions. I was shocked when he said he is new at giving tours - that guy is a natural.
Before you leave, stop in at the ranger station to see a photographic history of Windley Key. Worth the additional 10 minutes of your time.
**It is hot, humid, and buggy most times of year. Bring water, reef-safe sunscreen, and bug repellant if you are coming anytime other than winter. There is plenty of shade but Florida's humidity is brutal.

卡尔和迈克在办理入住时非常友好风趣。由于我犯了一个令人啼笑皆非的误会,我成了唯一一个参加2美元导览的游客。如果他们提供导览服务,千万不要错过!迈克知识渊博,讲解了各种各样的历史,指出了每一种植物,并回答了所有问题。当他说自己是新手导游时,我简直惊呆了——他简直就是天生的导游。
离开之前,不妨去护林站看看温德利岛的历史照片。这额外的10分钟绝对值得。
**一年中的大部分时间,这里都炎热潮湿,蚊虫也比较多。如果您在冬季以外的时间前来,请务必携带饮用水、对珊瑚礁无害的防晒霜和驱蚊剂。虽然阴凉处很多,但佛罗里达州的湿度实在太大了。
