Today was a big day in Big Cypress - the new visitor center, eleven years in the making, opened today. I wish I had the words to describe what a unique, pristine and sometimes downright spooky place it is. There is nothing quite like leaving home at dark-thirty in the morning and arriving in Big Cypress just as the sun is starting to come up and all the critters are waking up and beginning their morning chatter. It's a different universe out there.
As the sun rises, the fog burns off and the dew evaporates, and you get a good look at how dry everything is this time of year. Where there was almost two feet of water four months ago, there is only crunchy grass now. On these kind of mornings, you can't even buy a cloud.
The upside is that there are no mosquitos this time of year. But they will be back in about two months, when the rains return. :cussing:
