I remember reading a trip report in Canoe & Kayak magazine (or maybe it was Sea Kayaker) a couple years ago about a canoeist or kayaker who went camping in the Everglades and reserved one of those wood platforms. I believe they have a Porta-Potty on them, a picnic table, and space to pitch a tent. Well apparently the water level was a little high and when the author paddled to his platform there was a big fat alligator sunning himself on it. A paddle trip to the Everglades sounds intriguing. -Bob Matter Hammond, Indiana *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
