Up north, backfilling the Miami Canal.

<p>The ENP and BCNP are both closed as of today. Hunting is closed. Campgrounds are closed. Existing campers must leave but they may have 48 hours. Gates will be locked. Private land owners with hunt camps are permitted access through the Preserve. I am out of work until further notice. I have not yet been asked to vacate so I plan on staying.. I may be considered a temporary resident.</p>

<p>Yes but I think I am living on Federal land and I work in a Federal building. I am not sure if hunting will be allowed to continue if there is a shutdown. But if campers are allowed to stay, I will be too.</p>

<p>I remember this well because I was visiting the Grand Canyon at the time. The gates were open there, they weren't collecting any fees since no one was working. There were no services open, but you could go and see the canyon. However private operations were in business and stayed open. We decided the best option was to go on an airplane flyover tour - it was worth it! C'est la vie!</p>

<p>the most pushing, especially near the canal and High Route gets you out of the canal earliest</p>
<p>but that means you're on your own longer. Cattail Route, cutting between the other two is </p>
<p>the preferred route. The canal can be paddled in the dark so you can get started a hour before</p>
<p>dawn reaching the breakout with just enough light to see. From there it takes about an hour</p>
<p>to paddled unbroken spike rush channels to NP202.</p>
<p>It's a beautiful area and a very good day trip can be made by paddling Cattail Route out to</p>
<p>NP202 for a picnic then High Route back to L-67. Park your cars in the Francis Taylor parking lot.</p>
<p><br/> That and Everglades City might be the only thing we can paddle if they close the park next week.</p>
<p>Back when Clinton closed the parks they locked the gates so we were cut off from everything south</p>
<p>of the Ernest Coe Visitor Center.</p>

The structures were Native American made. I remember him saying 10 minutes in and out of the ENP by airboat, if that helps any.. Im guessing that the boundary may not have been clearly marked 30 plus years ago and/or it may have been breached on occasion. Maybe he walked? Things were different in those days but you need to look just inside the old ENP boundary.. Is there an island called Black Hammock? What is "Outlaw Route?"</p>
