November 25th, 2006 – Desert Inn, Yeehaw Junction!

by on Nov.29, 2006, under Florida Attractions, Florida History!, Florida Restaurants

2006-1126-desertinn.jpgSaturday we headed south so that Sandra could research park areas for one of her upcoming books. We stopped at the Desert Inn for some food. The Desert Inn opened somewhere between 1860 and 1883 as a stop for cowboys and cattlemen to pick up food and/or for lodging. All can still be done today at the crossroads of 441 and 60 just west of the Florida Turnpike. Got a great hamburger! Here’s a sketch of the fellow managing things at the bar.
