            I would like to explain to you about my canoeing trips. Rowing in open water brought back an old memory of mine. When I was eleven years old, my dad and I went canoeing in Georgia’s Okeefenokee Swamp on a Scout trip. I took it a step further in the Everglades.

            The Everglades is much more spread out than the Okeefenokee is. We went through many spread out bays to reach our campsites. It takes lots of teamwork to canoe in the Everglades. It gets hot down there and your arms will get a good workout in them.

            Unfortunately, we had to retreat back to land prematurely because of an incident we had. I wish I could have seen more but it was worth it. We then camped back at Collier Seminole State Park. I will have more adventure stories to come in the future.
