Fort Meyers is located over on the Gulf coast and has one of the 10 teams who call the Florida State League home.

Tonight at 6:05 p.m., the Mighty Mussels will host the St. Lucie Mets.

Food doesn’t count against the total because one would be eating anyway, right ?

The first cost wasn’t a planned one but a cost just the same. A stretch of I-75 down here is called Alligator Alley and comes with a toll of $3.75. But, hey, one doesn’t get to cruise the Florida Everglades every day, right ?

Naples is the city that welcomes you to the left coast, the one that sits on the Gulf of Mexico side of the sunshine state. It sits just south of Ft Meyers (30 miles).

There is one stop ✋️option on the stretch across Alligator Alley, and it sits on the Miccosukee Indian Reservation. Options are gas, Dunkin Donughts, a cafe, and a handful of slot machines.

Let the travel adventure begun!

Once you get to Naples, a scenic option is to take US-41 North up to Ft Meyers. It’s a little slower but on the coast and turnoffs for different beaches ⛱️.

Ft Meyers is an affiliate of the Minnesota Twins and they lean into that all over the place. $10.00 for parking at the game.

Grapefruit 🏡🏠🏡 for the Twins comes with multiple practice fields outside of the stadium 🏟. Everything here is named after a famous Minnesota Twin.

The waterfall out front is wicked cool 😎
