Coopertown air boat ride

We went for a ride in the Everglades on an Air boat. This video is of one of the air boats. Rather noisy, we wore cotton wool earplugs. It was good fun, like riding through the long grass back home but this time your on knee deep water. Its full of Alligators although we only saw one. Called Everglades because when the Spanish first arrived they struggled to cross the waterloged grasslands and said it went on forever. When your in it, its very easy to get lost as its all flat grass lands with a few raised tree areas.

  1. We used to live about 30 minutes from the Everglades and even camped there a few times in tents. I'm enjoying all your pictures. Thanks for sharing. I do wish we lived closer to Florida so you and Robert could meet my family.

    Blessings, Kris
