Default Best way to enjoy Everglades National Park?

Hey guys, well I'll be cruising again in 3 days (last minute deal FTW!).

Anyways, I might be stopping by Everglades for a bit. Any suggestions on what to do, what to eat, what to see?

Keep away from those monsters with a huge mouth full of teeth and a healthy appetite for humans

From my youth I know exactly the best way to spend your time in the Everglades.

Firstly, meet and befriend a bear. Not a ferocious bear but something a little more gentle.

Secondly, give the bear a nice name. At this point I'd like to recommend the name Ben.

Thirdly, get an airboat for zipping about on.

Fourthly, film it, get a cute kid to play you, and if Dennis Weaver is your dad that I think you're onto a winner.

It is a great place to bury a body.

What the gators don't eat, the swamp muck will swallow it up.

One day I will tell you about the trip I plan to take there with my mother in law.

A myth actually they fish dead bodies out of Florida lakes and rivers all the time and there are tons of gators in just about every part of Florida.Gators much prefer living prey and there in lies the problem of a dead body you'll be hard pressed to find a gator hungry enough to completely consume a dead body.

The best way would be chopped up and used as bait in a crab trap.I'm sure that Florida crime syndicates have done this many times.

The old Florida saying is that crabbers rarely reported thefts from their traps because they solved the problem themselves.
