Day 83 of a Year Long Road Trip Along America’s Scenic Byways
The Everglades National Park
After dropping Carol at the airport, I continued on to Wellington for another night at Page’s before heading to The Everglades National Park in the morning. I passed by acres of farmland, some merely plowed and barren and others planted with vegetables and fruit. The Everglades in Southern Florida span over 4,000 square miles. The area is so large that the 1.5 million acre National Park occupies only 20% of the area. The widest river in the world, 50 miles, slowly flows through the grassy wetlands whose highest elevation reaches only ten feet.
ON THE ROAD AGAIN!
