Everglades & Big Cypress - 09 November 2013
We stopped at the Tribal Welcome Center near the entrance to Everglades National Park for a bite to eat, then continued on to Big Cypress National Park.
|
As we turned onto the Tamiami Trail (Highway 41) to traverse the lower section of Florida, we entered the land of the Miccosukee and the Everglades.
|
Big Cypress is where we got to see gators ... lots of them! We spent quite a bit of time searching them out of their camoflage, learning how to spot them in the wild.

We turned down Hightway 29 to visit Everglades City. I kept thinking this must be where they filmed "Flipper"! We passed up an only gas station on our way out, thinking it would be higher priced than the one we had seen on the main highway where we turned in. Were we ever wrong! We should have fueled up in Everglades City!
