In the middle of the State of Florida right above I-75 sits a small vegetable farming town called Immokalee that produces a very large volume of high quality vegetables shipped around the US. In the Seminole language it means 'my home' which was one of the 2 tribes that occupied the area.

Hey, what can you say about a place that has 100LL at $3.12/gallon...

Here's the challenge, when you land you better keep the prop high because of the many bumps on the runway (36). And along the edges of the runway are tall weeds growing out of the asphalt. So, when I took off I used a soft field takeoff to get my nose off the runway asap.

Quiet and friendly, a great place to stop to top off if you are traveling south to the Keys. 

But, for the extra $.35 I'd probably stop at North Perry Central where I know the runways (and taxy ways) are in great shape. Because a prop strike just isn't worth it, especially flying in a low profile Mooney...

See you at the next FBO...
