While my adoring fans wait for my thoughts of a recent trip to Florida’s Everglades NP, please check out this news story.  Does anyone detect any reason for optimism?

Headin’ to the ‘Glades

Tuesday, April 10th, 2007

My family and I are planning a trip to Florida this summer and Everglades National Park is one place on the agenda.  I’ve heard so much in the news about the suffering that this park has endured.  I’ve also heard things that describe the park as nearly destroyed.  A combination of chronic drought and overbuilding nearby have taken their toll.  I am very interested to see first hand what the Everglades still are and what might have been lost.

 Any suggestions from our readers?  What should I expect?  Any particular points of interest?

I most certainly will follow up in a few months with my review.  Swamp lovers beware.
