The morning came quick it seemed, although winds were incredibly strong and there was some rain during the night as well. We all have doing a lot of reading during the trip and for the better part of the morning we just sat outside and read our books with the sound of nature and campers as white noise.
Emma found this great recipe online and said all we needed was bread, peanut butter, and jelly. We scarfed down what will be an all too familiar sandwich by the end of the trip and started looking at a map of all the different walking/hiking trails in the park. We decided on the furthest from our campsite, so it was a bit of a drive to get to the start of the trail. A good part about this was that it wasn’t too far away from cell phone service which we took advantage of. I think my mom would freak out if she didn’t even get a text from me after two days. So I had to get my almost daily quota into the parents informing them I’m still alive.
The trail that we chose was pretty easy. It was literally a straight two-mile path towards the inner bay of the southern tip of Florida. We saw some birds and with the help of another couple of the trail we saw a snake. No alligators though. The boardwalk at the end gave us a nice view of the water in the far distance. Like I said before it was the dry season so what would have been covered with water was just dried up. It was still a great way to see the everglades.
For dinner we took out the gas grill and boiled us some water and made some Ramen noodles and oatmeal....as known as the dinner of champions. The rest of the night consisted of some card playing and some book reading.
