After leaving the Alligator Farm we headed into the actual Everglades National Park. We made sure to stop and pose with this panther statue outside of the Visitor Center. Jess and I never hesitate to climb all over a National Park statue.
Due
to its abundance of wildlife, the star attraction that the Ranger pointed us to
was the Anhinga Trail. As we drove down to the parking lot we noticed that half
the cars in the parking lot were covered with tarps. Obviously we were missing something.
We finally saw a sign near the bathrooms that warned vultures may eat the
rubber off of your car so it was advised to protect it with the provided tarps.
As we weren’t planning on staying long, we decided to risk it. Luckily this did not end up happening. Can you imagine coming back to your car and seeing this!?
The Anhinga trail winds
through a sawgrass marsh, where we saw all kinds of good stuff!
