A couple of days ago we drove to Everglades National Park to see if it would be a place that we might host next year. The park has tow campgrounds. Flaming campground is far enough away from town that shopping would be an all day trip, so we quickly discounted it. Long Pine Key is a beautiful campground and is a place we would enjoy hosting.
Long Pine Key has two host couples that rotate days off so that one week you are off three days and the next week four. Responsibilities are light and entail checking to see that people have paid to camp, PR, and assisting campers.
Unfortunately (or fortunately ? depending upon your prospective) hosts are given first opportunity to return before new applicants are considered. The current hosts have been returning for many years and expect to continue.
We had a nice outing anyway. The best part was the trip back across Alligator Alley. We saw quite a bit of wildlife and managed to shoot a few photos.
