Another Levee Hike

There weren't any meetings or other activities on the calendar today, so we went exploring! This was the last levee hike in the Everglades Wildlife Management Area, the one that parallels the canal along I-75. (The last one along the L-35B Canal went straight across through wilderness.)

The asterisk marks the end of this hike.

It was supposed to start at the boundary of Markham Park, and go about five miles one way, with no pick-up at the other end, so Wayne decided to hike it alone. That was a wise decision because it turned out to be closer to 12 miles total; that's a bit beyond my daily limit, particularly if it's to be done in less than four hours.

I went for about a mile to make sure there weren't any barriers in the way, then turned around and enjoyed exploring the butterfly garden at Markham Park before doing some reading and relaxing.

The flowers were beautiful, and the art was fun and colorful. I even saw a butterfly or two, but had a difficult time capturing them in a photo.

It was a gorgeous day and we both had a great time.

Next up, although it will be a while before we get to Broward County Parks, will be the New River Greenway. I bet you didn't know there was a New River in Florida as well as Virginia!
