Tough scene in the everglades

January 23, 2010 • No Comments

Some pics from Pat Ford on a trip into the Everglades National Park last Thursday. Shows you what record low temps will do down here. Shame. Have been hearing from some guides that the fish kills were widespread, but pictures bring that point home like nothing else. And keep in mind these were taken more than a week after the cold spell.

Tough to see, but here’s to hoping it keeps a little Teddy Roosevelt alive in all of us. Everglades National Park is a special place – and it’ll bounce back. Let’s hope our backcountry guides do, too.

In the Glades

Went airboating in the Everglades last weekend as part of Leadership Monroe County Class XVIII.

If you ever have the opportunity, jump on it. This video doesn’t begin to do it justice, but it is amazing – even before you get to see the gators.

And remember in “Crocodile Dundee” when he hypnotizes that water buffalo in the road? Anyone?

Well, it works on gators, too.
