Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Good news, so some camp grounds are up and running.
I was beginning to wonder.
I'm assuming the boat ride was on an air boat? May not be as many of those as I think though. Most of what they were using in the show last night were regular out board boat engine types.
Most of the rides in the everglades are air boats so that's where my assumption comes from.

No. It was in a boat with an outboard motor -- the kind of boat that is flat-bottomed but has high sides. The guide, for instance, simply skimmed over logs and other debris. All the time going at a speed no greater than a gentle walk -- we cetainly didn't startle any wildlife. I highly recommend it.
The swamps of La are not like the Everglades. It is more like a Rain Forest that was flooded. Speed is not an option.
Yeah, air boats. We took a short ride in the Everglades and I was very unimpressed. The driver thought he was a Carnival Ride operator making the ride the experience rather than the Everglades... of course, the kids on board loved it. Oh! And in the Air Boat there must have been twenty/thirty passengers. There were only six of us on the Swamp Boat.
