Gliding thru the ‘Glades…

This morning we headed back up the Tamiami Trail into the Everglades to take an airboat ride.

We passed a place called Coopertown Airboats on our way down thru the Everglades from Ft. Myers and thought we’d check them out.

Not Us, but one like ours!

 And it was a blast!

The water levels are low in the Everglades so in some cases we were airboating over mud flats and not water, but an airboat doesn’t really care as long as there are no stumps.

And there were alligators everywhere.
