Revisit to Big Cypress and another stop at Everglades

Date of visit: February 18th, 2014

On the last day of the Derry's visit, we decided to make a run out to the Oasis Visitor Center for Big Cypress, the Shark Valley VC for Everglades, and get in an air boat ride to finish off the day.  

It was about an hour ride through a bit of traffic to Oasis, but it did not disappoint-  Lots of bird wildlife present on the drive out the Tamiami Trail and lots and lots of wildlife present at the lagoon at the center. Got two stamps, but did not see any of the three bonus stamps. 








Then, about 10 miles back towards Miami, is the Shark Valley Unit of the Everglades.  Not much going on here, just one stamp, and we were in a hurry to get the airboats, and we had previously visited here, but we did get the two stamps.  


Then, David and the boys went on a 45 minute air boat ride, which they said was very cool. 

Weather was perfect today, 77 or so, no humidity, no bugs, bright sunshine.
