13hr day

      We camped in the Everglades. We drove.. a lot yesterday. 8am to 9pm we drove from the Everglades to the Apalachicola National Forest area. Along the way we stopped at the Big Cypress area. We watched a few alligators swimming and lounging within 10 -20ft.

     We almost got stuck in an area but the AWD proved to be useful. Now we know for sure it works. Being on an unnamed dirt road getting stuck wouldve put a damper on the night.

     We looked around for a campsite for way too long. We ended up being on the wrong side of the river. Being exhausted from the long haul we just hid in the state forest area.

     The area isn't crawling with mosquitoes though. I made breakfast with only having to kill a couple this morning.

     Currently we're using an open wifi spot and making plans for the day. Most likely heading in to Alabama to find a site.
