I had the opportunity to take an airboat ride into the Everglades a few weeks ago. Holiday Park, located at the west end of Griffin Road at U.S. 27, is a step back in time. The boat ride was an eye opener as well. The thickets of cattails from all the fertilizers finally gave way to sawgrass once we got out into the Water Conservation Area.
What a magnificent place the Everglades is!
Here are a few photos from the trip ...
There's only one Holiday Park in the Everglades!
There are quite a few peacocks in and around Holiday Park and,
on this particular day, this guy was showing off!

If you ever visit south Florida, this is one place that's worth the ride to get there. And, you've got to do the airboat ride. It's better than any carnival ride ever!
