The Western Everglades: The Big Cypress Swamp
Come out and visit the Big Cypress Swamp and make one of your stops Clyde Butcher's Gallery and go on our swamp walks offered October - March behind our gallery. A Big Cypress Swamp walk is more than a walk in the park, it's an adventure, a getaway and a thrill. Experience the primordial beauty of Clyde Butcher's world when you experience a guided eco-swamp tour through the swamps of Big Cypress National Preserve behind his gallery. Marvel at the pristine splendor of natural Florida as you traverse through a rarely seen world, filled with vibrant colors and mysterious sounds. In this spacious, richly diverse wilderness of subtropical flora and fauna found nowhere else, you'll learn about the fragile Everglades ecosystem. Deep in this serene, sacred space, your guide will point our endangered orchids, rare ferns, threatened bromeliad, native birds and a host of swamp creatures. Beneath the ancient cypress trees, stop and listen to the deep stillness of an unspoiled world that seems far from everyday life. In this light-filled realm of wonder and awe, you are completely surrounded by nature in her purest and most sacred state. Visit clydebutchersbigcypressgallery.com for more info

While visiting Clyde Butcher's Venice Gallery and Studio, his daughter, Jackie Butcher Obendorf, opened our eyes to the wonders of the Big Cypress Swamp in Ochopee, Florida. Worrying all the way, we will be walking in the swamp with gators, snakes and who knows what, on Christmas Eve, 2018.
Happy Holidays to you all, from your favorite Worrywarts, Linda and Irene.

WTD #5. Big Cypress National Preserve & South Beach Miami
Welcome back to Wheeling to Dream! Episode 5 brings plenty of fun in the Everglades, as well as a family outing to South Beach, Miami, Florida.
We were lucky enough to get to watch an air show, right from South Beach! We got to see the Blue Angels, the Coast Guard, and many other aircraft perform. South Beach was pretty crowded, but we made the best of it.
We stayed in Midway Campground, right inside the Big Cypress National Preserve, right in the center of the Florida Everglades!
We did plenty of hiking, jeeping and wandering about through the swamp. #Swamp life! We saw tons of wildlife such as alligators! Some pretty large ones too!
Make sure to stay tuned in for our next episode in the Florida Keys!
We would love if you followed along with us on our journey!

Hiking Gator Hook Trail - Big Cypress - Loop Road
Just a few friends and I out slushing through the swamps of the Everglades. Pictures first then the video starts. This is the famous Gator Hook trail out on Loop Road in the Big Cypress preserve. We saw no gators! We saw some frogs and a couple baby rattlesnakes. That being said... I'm sure many gators laid eyes on us.
Rayado Ruffians Big Cypress #2: Wagon Wheel
Our cameraman captured an incredible performance of the Rayado Ruffians at Big Cypress. The Ruffians are the one and only band from Colfax County, New Mexico that have performed for the Seminoles at Big Cypress. And we thought the St. James and the Lucky Shoe were big doings! The show was going great until Josh was eaten by an enormous, exotic python...dang, we are going to miss that snake. It was our fault really, the Seminoles told us to stay out of the swamp.
