AIRBOATING THRU THE FLORIDA EVERGLADES







We went on an incredible airboat ride thru the Florida everglades on Lake Trafford south of Naples. We nabbed the best airboat tour guide, Fred.  He took us on a one hour tour where we saw at least 100 alligators of all sizes from tiny to at least 12 feet long. We wondered when he slowed to a crawl if one of those giants ever jumped into the boat. Fred assured us only is you lingered to long. We cruised thru the swamps around the perimeters of the lake.  They had a menegerie of animals near the store which included 2 boas (very long and big around). Wondered what they had just eaten and several types of talking parrots.
