On The Road

May, 2008: Entering the farming district, a vast area in central/western Palm Beach County which begins about twenty miles west of the Atlantic Ocean. This road, old Route #98, leads directly to Canal Point located on the south-eastern tip of Lake Okeechobee. In years gone by, before there were connecting roads, the canal served as the "highway" to and from Canal Point, including the early farms and settlements along the way. And like the turnpikes of today, boaters had to pay a toll to travel the waterway.
