I would take the 13-15 weekend if i were doing it. BTW the Flamingos at the end of Snake Bight Trail are usually in place by the end of Nov. You want an incoming tide and I recommend renting a bike at Flamingo (the place) so you can pedal down the trail quickly to avoid the mosquitoes. A Tri-pack works well to carry a scope. Have fun!
