Homestead FL

TUE

Today I went to the Everglades National Park and strangely with all that water around me I believe the humidity was down and it was rather pleasant.

When I was driving along the northern edge of the Everglades was one of those time you wish you could click an instant picture; big sign, “Burns Lake Campground” and under that a smaller sign “No Camping”. Followed a mile later by “Monument Lake Campground” “Closed”. Not very hospitable.

I didn’t do an airboat ride and I didn’t see any alligators or crocodiles or manatees but I did see a lot of birds and heard a lot of bull-frogs, ribbet. I did see a Florida Soft Shell Turtle and bromeliads growing in a “Pond Apple” tree.

I hike a couple of trails and just enjoyed the pleasant quiet of nature.
