Este día realice un viaje muy temprano en la mañana por( Janes Scenic Drive ) . El camino esta cubierto de agua en varios tramos y entre la 7 y 8 milla es imposible continuar si no tienes un 4x4 off road.
Ubique la entrada del trail que conduce a la Old Cabin, en cuanto a la fauna vi muchos Red-Shouldered Hawk, algunos Deer en el camino (imposible de fotografiar) y por supuesto Alligator.
La Ranger de la caseta de entrada fue muy amigable y atenta.
