the bumpy ride (27 miles, or more, or less):
from the epicenter of Everglades local culture .... to the heart of Fakahatchee swamp
half on paved roads, half on dirt roads

From Everglades City, we will cycle paved roads for 7 miles, including Hwy 29 (wide shoulder) to Fakahatchee; then cycle on Janes Scenic Dr (narrow dirt road) into Fakahatchee swamp. Recommend tires at least 1.5 inch wide. Official route will turn around after 6 miles on dirt road at "K-2", and return to Everglades City via same route.
