Everglades National Park and Big Cypress National Preserve.

In this weeks video and blog post we are going back to the Everglades and Big Cypress National Preserve to do a couple of things we haven't done before.
We are staying at Monument Lake which is one of the few places this time of the year with any site available. We’re visiting in February at the peak of snowbird season.
In South Florida, besides alligators, pythons, panthers, great blue herons, and anhingas, the most abundant member of the animal kingdom is the mosquito. The mosquitos are relentless on the Florida trail. I was under the impression that the winter was the non mosquito season. I was obviously greatly misinformed. It has also been an unusually hot and humid winter.
We are Traveling in Florida and the rest of the USA aboard a 2015Winnebago Micro Minnie 1706FB travel trailer. You are more than welcome to tag along by subscribing to this channel.

I need to go back to Florida someday. Last time was 1995 during Speed Week. Had an extra week to drive around the state and see things but mostly in passing. Everglades are beautiful. Nice of you to take time to feed the mosquito's. Thanks and take care,,,

Robert, this is a wonderful video showcasing the wildlife in the Everglades. I really enjoyed how excited the kids on the tram got. Good to hear that the Everglades health is being restored as evidenced by the flock of woodstorks. Thanks for the tour!
