Everglades National Park...
On the record coldest November 19th in Florida's history (61°), we headed out to the largest tract of wilderness east of the Rocky Mountains- Everglades National Park.
Simply put, it protects more subtropical land and water than anywhere else in the United States, but such a basic description doesn't offer justice to the poignant significance it offers our nation and we spent the day, exploring it all.
Our only alligator sighting.
There are no other Everglades in the world.
They are, they always have been,
one of the unique regions of the earth;
remote, never wholly known.
Nothing anywhere else is like them.
