Everglades, Big Cypress Swamp and Gators !!

Recommended Posts

Incredible, incredible last 2 days exploring the real deal Alligator Alley, a little 2 lane road that branches off Highway 41 and runs along border of Everglades National Park and thru Great Cypress Swamp.....parts of the road were completely covered with water.

 Yesterday we saw Crocodiles...today we saw lots of Alligators...largest one about 8 feet long. Sometimes I walked up to within 6 feet of them...when they see you, they run away from you to the water. Doc was barkin' at the Gators....almost jumped out the sidecar, wanting to chase one.

In the Everglades, we went over a high pass....then another even higher !!  LOL.

Is that fresh water? Is it affected by tides? Silly maybe but curious.

It's fresh and/or brackish.

Tides ?....too long of an explanation....google Everglades swamps for full details??

Thanks Randy, I was curious whether you were riding in saltish water, and because when I was up in Delta country the tides did weird things in the sloughs.

Have fun.
