Decide to spend a day or two in the Everglades. Have always wanted to take one of those air boat rides. Have a very difficult time finding a place to stay. Looked at one place called Gold Coast and I would rather stay on the side of the road! Call Everglades National Park and find they can accommodate a coach this size .... however, the bad news is they have no hook-ups. I learn this is called "dry camping". We can remain self-sustaining for a couple of days and they will allow us to run our generator (for air-conditioning) until 8 pm. The national parks in Canada were great ... views spectacular and full hook-ups. It turns out okay but it's not up there on my list of things to do again. 
We're told by a ranger the air boat rides are outside the park and are enviromentally detrimental, so we pass on that and tour just a small part of the 1.1 million acres of the park. We first see what seems like Africa ... not what I expected in the Everglades. Learn it is called a "river of grass".
Then go to the Anhinga Trail to a boardwalk that gives a
n up close and personal look at the varied Everglades wildlife.
We BBQ huge Florida "pinks" (shrimp) in a Key Lime Chipolte sauce .... quite tasty. And call it a very early evening
