Lake Trafford
There's a celebration Saturday at the Lake Trafford Marina in Immokalee marking the completion of the Lake Trafford dredging project which removed 6 million cubic yards of muck from the lake's bottom.
The project restored the health of Southwest Florida's largest fresh water lake. The project was spurred by a major fish kill in 1996. The fish kill was caused by a buildup of muck on the lake's bottom -- a by-product of treatments for hydrilla and other exotic aquatic plants. Eventually green algae covered the lake's surface, shutting down photosynthesis and depleting oxygen levels.
Action taken by the Lake Trafford Restoration Task Force led to more than 15 million dollars in funding from the state to clean-up the 15 thousand acre lake by removing the muck. Ski Oleski and his late wife Anne, owners of the Lake Trafford Marina, were major players in the task force --a coalition of government, non-profit and community members.
The muck was piped to nearby former agriculture land now owned by the South Florida Water Management District. Water Managers have not yet determined what to do with the property. Lake Trafford has been restocked with bass with hopes it will once again be a major bass fishing destination.

Gators spotted hiking the CREWS Cypress Dome Trail near Immokalee, Florida 01/20/2014
I hiked the white loop (AKA Wild Coffee Trail) at the CREWS Cypress Dome Trail near Immokalee, Florida today. I saw three gators and got two on this video. One was the biggest gator I have encountered in the wild.
January is the perfect time of year for hiking the Florida swamplands due to temperate weather, few insects at this time of year, and low water levels due to dry season. Fun hike and a great day! :)
Driving through Downtown Immokalee, Florida
Within the central business district will eventually appear new directional signs, streetscapes and building facades all featuring the unique Immokalee Latin “look.” Anchoring the space to the east and west will be new squares or plazas, public gathering spots with fountains and landscaping.
“Public gathering places, such as zocalos in Mexico are the heart of the Mexican-Tenochtitlan community and are often anchored by a church or market place,” explained the project designers, Land Design Innovations. “In Immokalee, the two proposed plazas are intended to inspire civic pride and revitalize the central business district by creating a more livable and walkable community.”

Team8 Tour - Immokalee Volunteer Video
Food insecurity and family care-taking responsibilities prevent many Immokalee teens from focusing on their education and fitness opportunities. On the second stop of the 2017 tour, Team8 Tour volunteers built a weight room for female students and stocked a school pantry with healthy fare and athletic clothing to reinforce the importance of making healthy choices and staying active. Together with a high-energy fitness clinic, the new resources established at Immokalee High School will help local students—and their families—get the support they need to thrive.

A trip to Immokalee, Florida
Uniendos Culturas, the Palm Beach State College Spanish Club, and the College District Diversity Committee visited Immokalee, Florida in October 2010 to donate clothing that they collected to benefit the Coalition of Immokalee Workers. This educational field trip opened the eyes of the students and staff that visited the town, which is home to more than 50 percent of its residents living below the poverty line.
Immokalee, Florida Campus Ministry Trip 2019
Spiritan Campus Ministry will be traveling to Florida from March 3, 2019 - March 10, 2019 (Spring Break)
This cross-cultural experience to Immokalee (which means, My Home) involves many different activities and an immersion into the lives of migrant farm worker families in the agricultural hub of Immokalee Florida. Participants may see the fields and groves of fruits and vegetables and spend time at the homes of adopted families.
The week also consists of prayer, journaling and reflection each day. There will also be time to relax and go to the beautiful beaches of Fort Myers and Naples.
This past Spring Break Spiritan Campus Ministry led a group of 14 to Immokalee, Fl. Immokalee, where 90% of the United States tomatoes are grown during the winter months has all of the allure of nearby beaches (Naples) and beautiful Florida weather, but instead of being a vacation hotspot it consists of vast farmlands and the hardships of those who work at them.
Our group worked with the community of Immokalee learning about the Coalition of Immokalee Workers and their plight for fair wages and safe working conditions, and volunteered with organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, Guadalupe Social Services, and Immokalee Non-Profit Housing. A huge accomplishment for the week was to work with the community to build a raised-bed garden.
Also, the group was lucky to attend a press conference where famous authors, activists, and small farm owners spoke on issues of sustainability practices in the agricultural business and how farmworker rights and wages should be included in its practice (e.g. organic foods).

Alligator Lake Park
While camping in Lake City Florida, we found this park while out exploring on the motorcycle. We wound up returning numerous times and hiked each of the trails within the park. All the trails are relatively easy but scenic and relaxing. For those who Geocache, there are several caches in the park.
It's a great place for hiking, spending the day picnicking, or just plain relaxing.
This video will give you a quick look at the main part of the park and the different trails. We have thrown in a few stills from each of the trails.
You will notice the leaves covering the ground. That's because we were there over the winter months.
If you would like more information on this park including hundreds of pictures, visit our website. You will find Alligator Lake Park under the Florida Day Trips menu.

Please remember to subscribe, comment and thumbs up! thanks.
With dancing Seminoles, police color guard, and introductions by Tribal Chairman James Billie, the Seminole Tribe of Florida opened it's latest venture in it's worldwide gaming, entertainment, and hotel empire.
Grand opening of the multi-million dollar expansion of the Seminole Casino Hotel in a dirt poor neighborhood of Immokalee was Thursday, March 12 at noon. Guests were able to tour the Seminole Casino Hotel, along with the 800-seat Seminole Center entertainment venue, the Lucky Mi Noodle House, the newly remodeled Paradise High Limit Room, the new Seminole Poker Room and a 5,600 sq. ft. expansion of the casino.
The Seminole Casino Hotel Immokalee is the only gaming destination in Southwest Florida with slot machines or table games and the parking lot is always filled with hopeful gamblers in the extremely noisy and possibly ear damaging casino.
But for peace and quiet, walk to the east end of the building and check into one of 99 new hotel rooms, which are nicely appointed and very very quiet. There's not much of a view. The windows and balconies face the giant parking lot.
The 99-room hotel features 19 well appointed suites and 80 normal size guestrooms in the four-story edifice. plus a swimming pool with private Seminole Chickee cabana huts, a 24-hour fitness studio equipped with a wide variety of exercise machines and free weights and a small 24-hour Business Center next to the check in desk, complete with computer availability and internet access.
