Learning more about the Everglades via audio field trip
Posted By RichC on July 12, 2023
Enjoyed a long-ish audio field trip shared in the Washington Post last week by Lillian Cunningham. It was educational and a relaxing evening listen while “trying” to read a book (but I could not focus on both). 😉
The Everglades have always been interesting to me. My brother and I dreamt of living on Key Largo and both boating and exploring Florida Bay … as young boys do (Kamback and Joe — just in case my brother reads this). I read a lot of books on early Florida and enjoyed fictional books by John D. MacDonald … and all the Travis McGee novels.
During my college years in the late 70s, I coaxed my high school and college buddies to take our winter breaks to areas around the Everglades including Key Largo and “minimally developed” Marco Island. We camped each year on the edge of the Ten Thousand Islands at Collier Seminole State Park. Of course most of the time we explored beaches, but enjoyed learning and exploring a little bit about the River of Grass.
If you have time, enjoy the listen …
… but in case the podcast is removed or relocated, I’m archiving the mp3 file as there are too many broken links these days: LINK – right-click/save as.
