My Trip Along The Wilderness Waterway- The Culmination Of A Thirty Year Quest

Beginning in early winter 2008 I determined to fulfill my dream of canoeing the length of the Wilderness Waterway running between Everglades City and Flamingo Florida. That is a ninety nine mile crossing. By January 2009 I was ready to give it a try. At the beginning of February I finished the journey. It was a great adventure.

Toward The Coast

Taken during a trip out to one of the barriers islands north of the Park. I found an inside route off the marked channel which both cut off travel distance and allowed me to get out of the incoming tide. I did not have my motor on this trip, so every advantage was taken to ease the paddling. Here I have emerged from the shortcut and am on a wide channel which took me to the coastal island. I shot this keeping the birds level, a vantage which rendered the distant shore seemingly inclined.
