Default Everglades Trip #3

nothing too crazy, and not an "offroad" trip, just mostly sight seeing and hoping to catch some snakes (which didn't happen). but a fun day regardless.

-saw some weird cars and crap on the way there and back (you'll see in the pics)
-saw a bunch of baby gators
-some 5-8ft adults (nothing big)
-spooked a young adult gator when hiking in the swamp (actually 2) got within a few feet of one before she shot like a rocket through the tall grass into the lake
-saw and caught some turtles
-almost got hit by a doe deer who was running head on at me down the dirt road (a VERY odd situation in FL)
-took some shots of tanya celica-supra on the way down, and where we left her little coupe on the side of the road before we drove through the rest of the swamping little road.
-the roads were actually quite wet compared to last time.
-oh yeah, i bought a land rover with ponies toy set hahaha

it is called a swamp buggy. they are the vehicle of choice besides an air-boat to travel through the glades.
