Non Kayaking Post, NKP, so no comments...only pics. Just let me tell you that the wetlands were closed to vehicular access. Not that it mattered for me as I always walk but if you prefer to drive around, that might be a problem.

  1. I need to go there. Great post. I saw a glossy ibis on Friday. In a rentention pond at the west bound 408, northbound 417 merge. Not a place to stop for a picture. (Toll roads in Orlando for you out of towners)
