Having just finished a 4,000+ word essay on living in the Everglades to be considered for an antholgoy about living and working in national parks, I’m in a mellow, national park mood. Photo was taken at Eco Pond at Flamingo. Enjoy

Great posts! I used to go to Eco Pond by myself and I loved it there. The older I get, the more I look back on those times in the parks. Whether it was Bryce, Zion or the Glades, I loved them all.I met so many wonderful people. I haven’t been to Flamingo in a long time. After my last season there, I was picked along with another girl who worked there to drive a car to Yellowstone N.P.,and that was the last time I saw the place. The biggest memory I have of the place is riding my bike, A ghastly orange bike, through alligator alley and the chain coming off. I tried to fix it there but eventually gave up in frustration and ran away as the mosquitoes swarmed me. A great place and a great experience and these your posts are a great trip down memory lane. I miss the little employee pub as well and fishing for shark at night.
