Rules of the RoadThere is only one main road going into Kissimmee Prairie Preserve — well okay, two, if you go by names. Peavine brings you in heading north and then you must turn to the west on Military to get to the campgrounds and office. This post is not to explain how to get to those places, however, but to encourage visitors to pay attention while driving it, to limit themselves to the speed limit (or slower), and realize that they are sharing it with the Preserve's permanent residents, many of whom have their own uses for it.
There is always a reward for those who go slowly and look carefully, not just alongside the road and out into the prairie, but on the road itself — at any time of the day or night. Here are just a few basic rules to observe when on the Preserve road:

Congratulations, Christina … a very clever, heartfelt, humorous and compelling photo essay. Someday, when there's money to burn, this would be the perfect handout to Prairie visitors.

An absolutely brilliant way to emphasize a very serious issue for those of us who love The Prairie and its creatures. You are the best, Christina! Thanks for your persistance in moving the CSO dream to reality. We can hardly wait to get back to The Prairie, so we can enjoy the critters, plants, and gorgeous scenery, and be with our friends who are dedicated to keeping this preserve one of Florida's greatest treaures!

I think my favorite is the Caracara as the 'Road Crew'.

as a wildlife rehabilitator, I just loved the way you made "watching out for wildlife" a fun thing. It would be great if it could be posted at the entrance of the park, or on a brochere. Im glad it is on this website
