I have searched the strand for around 3 years, but now I'm focusing on Big Cypress. I consider The Fakahatchee my home and haven't been their for awhile now.

I haven't really done big cypress yet....I've been focusing on Fakahatchee over the last year. Perhaps a new location is in order for tomorrow?.?.?

Any recommendations you could make if I decided on big cypress? How's the layout of the park?

Big Cypress is just that Big. I have walked every inch of the Florida trial and many of the dome's and strands near it. That would be a great place to start. You can access the FT off of 41 at the Oasis Ranger station or the rest area at the 63 mile marker on Alligator alley. Check out the Florida Trail website.

No matter how many times I've come across Butterflies, they are still one of my favorites.
