One day blends into the next and almost a week later, our blood and energy is slowly getting drained. The fresher air lasted a few days and then the mosquito meter hit the top of the charts at “hysterical” and seems to be stuck. It is possible this is the new norm as the park continues the restoration of the watershed. Not surprising, the campground has been very empty. People come and go just as quickly.
Regardless, we have been trudging around in long pants, socks, buffs treated w/insecticide, hats, nets and DEET. Soon you will see a group photo in our attire but until then here’s a preview of Nina modeling the Buff.
We are still enjoying the birds, biking, some fishing and canoeing around to Snake Bight. Ellen has finally seen the elusive mangrove cuckoo and we both got awarded Everglades Junior Park Ranger badges for not bailing with all the mozzies. S & E planned to leave on Sunday and we have decided to cut our stay short by 5 days and do the same. Harry has been a pretty good sport but it’s time to move on. We’ll head west along the Tamiami and up the west coast of FL.
