Sat, Jan 23, 2021:  The Glades RV Park:  Drove down to Fakahatchee SP today.  The park entrance was just off Rt. 29.  But the place we wanted to see was off Rt. 41.  The SP itself is really pretty with little lakes and streams.  All kinds of hiking trails.  We looked around there for a while and then headed to the Fakahatchee strand on Rt. 41.  Was a beautiful walk through lush vegetation, huge cypress trees and even royal palms.  I was encouraged to see most people wearing masks.  Was a beautiful day for it.  81 here today.

Somebody built this huge cairn.

This strangler fig took over this tree and killed it.  They start out as an epiphyte, but once they establish roots, they take over.

I've never seen so many huge cypress trees.
