Apollo went to Gator Park, one of the several roadside tourist attractions with airboat rides and everything alligator-related under the sun. Apollo totally had a blast, and definitely recommends the hour or so pit stop to check it out.

Unfortunately Apollo's photographer knows not the workings of his camera and fails to capture any real proof of the turtles.

Mostly, the airboat tours stick to the manmade canals, and not so much the 'true' Everglades.

Nevertheless, the airboat tours allow you to see all the wildlife you'd typically see in deep in the Everglades. Here, Apollo pretended to throw a rock at this 3 foot long alligator.

Now we are getting somewhere. Apollo can only wonder how many hapless gators and turtles just putting along in their own meager reality get totally destroyed when a flockload of tourists tag them with these environmentally-friendly airboats. Hmm.

Regardless of the health and well being of these creatures, Apollo totally loved hauling ass doing water donuts in the Everglades.

What goes fast, ends fast. Before you know it, the fun is over and its back to the manmade waterway. Only this time you've long since scared off any prayer of seeing anything other than a dragonfly at this point.

It's of Apollos professional opinion that all visitors to the Everglades should take an airboat tour. The German family all had a really good time, and Apollo kept bumping into them over the course of the next two days. Apollo states a new law of nature: There are some Germans that visit the Everglades that are indeed good people.

Yep its confirmed. Almost back to the dock and after whizzing in circles for 10 minutes like mad crazies there is officially no sign of anything alive.
