Day 21/22 – Everglades National Park/Big Cypress National Preserve/Naples, FL – Sunday/Monday February 23-24, 2020

Sunday and Monday morning we continued spending time exploring the southwestern portion of the Everglades at Flamingo. We stayed at the Flamingo park area of the Glades and again had no RV hookups or cell signals for our phones. We took several hikes, rode bikes, and took Kayaks deep in to the mangrove water trails of the Everglades. Tina had never been in a Kayak before and was uneasy at first, especially since the area has a good many America crocodiles. Since Kayaks are so low to the water, it puts you at eye level with the Crocks. We did see a good many as well as more manatees. And as I promised Tina, we did not flip the Kayak over and stayed dry (and not eaten by Crocks). After lunch today we headed out towards Naples where we are staying tonight. In the morning we’ll head from here to Silver Springs were well stay several days. Slowing making our way back north and hoping to be back in Clemson around March 3rd in anticipation of Sophia Rose’s birth on March 12th. Then we leave again headed west.
