Not sure, but thought that's what they looked like. I lived in S FL for 34 years and ventured out to the Keys quite a few times for play. They each had there own special attraction. Much difference between past and present.

Thank you for another interesting bit of information. I sure hope they stop destroying them. Sadly, they're taking the tropical out of Florida.
