Isn't it cute!?!
The Ochopee Post Office is the smallest post office in the United States. I stopped and snapped a few pictures of it on my way to Clyde Butchers Gallery in Big Cypress. This closet-sized, 7x8-foot building used to be an irrigation pipe shed for a tomato farm. It was turned into a postal service building after a fire destroyed the Ochopee General Store. The General Store housed the original post office - in 1953. The building has an airconditioner, light and a computer. If nature calls, there's the Skunk Ape Research Headquarters is a mile east. Yes, I asked about the bathroom and no I didn't see the Skunk Ape.
The town of Ochopee sits on the edge of the Everglades. The population of Ochopee is 11. Ochopee is 60 Miles East of Bonita Springs Florida.
