Drive through the Everglades

We drove from Ft. Myers to Marathon on scenic Hwy 41. Many people think it is alligator alley but the freeway 75 is really called alligator alley. However, hwy 41 has hundreds of alligators all along the road in the canal and lots of birds, too. We saw hundreds (and I really mean hundreds) in the 90 mile drive. These are just a few. I actually got to see some going after the fish. There were so many more than we have ever seen and I assume it is because there is so much more water in the canals as Florida has lots of rain this year.



This one had his eye open and watched every move I made.





This is what the Everglades looks like. Those alligators are on the other side of this canal with only this railing between them and the road.
