Years ago my parents went to the Everglades. My dad said he didn’t understand the big deal about it. It was a swamp. Mr. M and I went in February. My dad was right. We canoed (by ourselves not a guided tour) half a day into the mangroves and we saw lots of mangroves and that’s pretty much it. Then we road our bikes several miles on a trail through the mangroves and other trees and say pretty much nothing but mangroves and swampy ground. I’m sure it’s important to Florida tourism and I apologize if I’m insulting any Floridian freepers but Florida is way overrated. I don’t feel compelled to ever go again.
As a disclaimer, I'm a native Floridian. On the one hand, that might make me impartial but on the other, I'm used to mangroves and swamps so even for me, the Everglades is special.
The Everglades provides fresh water for the lower part of the state.
Floridians are capable and willing to care for it; the federal government (especially under Valerie) isn’t needed to care for the place.

My Dear Mercat,
While in the Everglades, you missed the unique insect life forms dwelling therein.
Did you know that one species of FloriDUH mosquito is large enough to rape turkeys?
While on a bike in teh Everglades, is is interesting to note that wile all indigenous vertebrates have declines except thee alligator, one cohort has undergone a remarkable population irruption.
During the 2/3 century of AgencyPerson management, the population of ParkPersons multiplied manyfold.
Doesn’t that make you remember your Everglades vacation more fondly?
Or not . . . . .
