Everglades National Park -Shark Valley VC
We're considering volunteering at the Everglades this winter. Does anyone have any experience working in this park?

We rented a cabin twenty years ago in the park. Very pretty, however at dusk the Mosquitoes and No see ums were so bad that no one could go outside. It was really bad and folks that got caught outside had to run for it and many were screaming.

Check that out first.

Try Kirk and his website here: Home

He has volunteered there and I'm sure would be glad to share his experiences.

He is a real nice guy.
