Everglades Challenger: Tellin' Tales of Adventure



Santiago posted this photo report today:  "So what do you do when you're stuck by low tide for two hours in The Nightmare, a mosquito-infested portion of the Everglades Wilderness Waterway? Make sweet & sour pork and take a nap using your paddle float! — with Dawn Stewart and Warren Richey."

Tide Traveler got through this channel just before the last inch of water vanished.  He waited for Santiago and SandyBottom on the other side.  They followed SharkChow's advice and made the best of it.  Two hours later the tide came flooding in.  SandyBottom reported that there were no mosquitos there and they were able to catch up on organizational chores and meals.
