“River of grass”, it is amazing. We have already managed to mess up the natural flow of fresh water from Lake Okeechobee and leave the whole area hopelessly, irreversibly dependent on humans to manage the flow with canals and locks and gate systems. I hope we manage to save it for generations to come.
We are in a quiet small campground. It has lightening bugs. I just realized that I haven’t seen those little critters for months. I never really noticed but I guess they don’t live out in the arid west. We have driven wildlife drives and walked every board walk we can; but, it is really difficult to get out into the heart of this place. The guided canoe trips were full, maybe next time. That would be a very different look at the place.
