An image captured in Kirby Storter Roadside Park in Big Cypress Florida. The deer was very alert and ready to run, silence was the key.

Approximately halfway through your drive across Big Cypress along Highway 41 is Kirby Storter Roadside Park. Named after one of the area's pioneering families, Kirby Storter worked for several years as a carpenter and electrician for Barron Collier, and later oversaw construction of South Florida roads (including Tamiami Trail) for the Florida Roads Department.

The Florida Legislature designated this park in Kirby Storter's honor in 1971, just six years after his retirement.
