The following pictures chronicle a canoe trip in the Everglades National Park and into the Florida Bay. This trip is one of an annual canoe trip that takes place in Southern Florida. We took off on Thursday October 16th and made landfall in the Keys on the 18th. This is the first of hopefully many trips that I will be joining them on. Well sit back and enjoy the photos, I expect more photos to come in in the following weeks from other canoeist that joined us on the adventure, also expect a few additional guest articles.
(also, as usual all images are thumb nailed, click on them to enlarge them.)
