Everglades, Fl


After a couple of days in Key West we were ready for some quiet time in a real campground. We procured a campsite at Long Pine in the Everglades National Park and then spent the afternoon taking short hikes along the boardwalks to view mangrove swamps, mahogany tree hammocks, and other features of the area. We drove 32 miles down to the Florida Bay and Flamingo camping area and even did one geocache while there.
On Friday morning we walked along the Anahinga Trail which was totally delightful. We saw many species of water birds and I especially enjoyed watching the wood stork. There was a plethora of alligators not to mention turtles and photographers.
Look at some of our other photos.
