“There’s a series of rivers that come out of the Everglades—like the Watson and the Chatham. I’m friends with fishing guide Steve Huff; you get in a boat with him and it’s 12 hours of going places where you won’t see another human. It’s not for everyone; there’s an abundance of mosquitoes. But I’m a fly fisherman, so we get back into these creeks, casting at giant tarpon. You see gators, crocodiles. It’s as close to a flashback to what Florida was centuries ago as you’re going to find.” —Carl Hiaasen, novelist
