Sunrise at Pahayokee

Cliff Kolber

The road leading to the Pahayokee Overlook always has potential for dramatic images.  We visited the area within days after a storm dumped almost 20" of rain over South Florida in October, 2000, 

I wanted to see how wet the Everglades would be.  The road to the Pahayokee Overlook was under water and closed to vehicular traffic, so I waded through the road one early morning and found many scenes similar to this one.  The water was at a record high level for the everglades.
