Field Work days in Dupius Wildlife Managed Area

I hitched a ride out to Dupius Wildlife Area managed by South Florida Water Management. Great access roads and tons of areas to explore. Hunting season is on right now-so there are some time restrictions.
Special thanks to my friend Chris, his intern-Katey, and Jim Chutte for listening to my rambling questions and constant whoah's. Here are some images from the adventure of exploring the edge of the Everglades,where Lake Okeechobee once met land flowing easterly. Yes, we did discuss the different theories of the Evergaldes orig. hydrology and flow. Between looking at land scars via google earth and tramping through dry slough beds, I know we all had a great time.
