"Land of the Walking Trees"



After we left Goodland,  we turned southward and went to the Little Shark River in the Everglades.  It's a very remote and beautiful area of the 10.000 Everglade Islands.  The stars at night were gorgeous and it was so quiet and peaceful we decided to stay for 2 nights.  Once again the tides and current  were impressive.   When the tide starts turning you can actually see were the "Walking Trees" name comes from...........it really does feel like the trees are moving.

The area took alot of damage from Hurricane Wilma so the first "line of defence"  mangroves took heavies ...........they're trying to recover but it will take time.

Position.......   N25 '  19.53
                         W81'  08.882
