A maze of mangrove islands meanders from Marco Island to Florida Bay, an ever-changing tangle of trees and shallows that inspired a larger-than-life name -- the Ten Thousand Islands. In this watery wilderness, hardy pioneers scratched out a living on high heaps of shells left by the Calusa Indians. In 1947, most of Florida's final frontier became part of the new Everglades.
The sunshine state has a rich and colorful history. For hundreds of years the state has attracted dreamers, opportunists, inventors and fortune-seekers. WGCU's Untold Stories aims to preserve the history of Southwest Florida communities.

My friend and I canoed it back in our 20’s , my roughest adventure to date . Paddling across vast stretches of 3’ deep water in a loaded canoe fighting the wind and small chop. Paddling our butts off to try and outrun massive thunderstorms , got drenched. Raccoons stole his sunscreen on the first night beach camping . Dudes ears were blisters after another day and half on the water . Second night at the old homestead site the no seeing were so bad they were eating our eyeballs and we picked tent and went to sleep without dinner or anything . Brutal place , and this was only April .

A friend of father’s took me fishing in 10K... got there early...when tide was out, you were in mud flats, with creeks running through..raccoon washing a crawfish. Tide comes in, and you’re among a bunch of mangrove islands, fish coming in to feed. Incredible transition.

Lived in Marco Island as a child. I distinctly remember the bus ride to kindergarten at Marco Island Elementary because of all the water and bridges. I don't know why it has stuck with me all these years. The beaches were beautiful back then. You could collect coconuts off the beach. My mom would make coconut pies for my dad so often that I got so sick of them I wouldn't eat coconut for years to come. It was breathtaking back then.. much less populated.

I have been in some pretty cool places in the world. Machu Picchu. Death Valley. Redwood national forest. 10,000 islands is at the top of the list. I’ve done many 6 day boating trips with multiple other boats. Mostly camping at Highland Beach and fishing all day long. I have also kayaked from Chokoloskee to flamingo twice. With no GPS or cellphone and not on the marked trail. Compass only. No room for error. I did it once with my girlfriend and then again solo. Trolling a gold spoon the whole time. Snook for breakfast. Redfish for dinner. Sharks, crocodiles, manatees, bald eagles, the nightmare, Broad River, White Water Bay. That place is heaven.

I was born in Tampa and grew up traveling all over FLA. The southern part of the state was always my favorite. My gramps had an airboat tour and guide business for a while in the late 70s and early 80s and we lived outside of Everglades for a few years before moving over to Ocahatchee for another few years then up to Sal Apopka then Pananma City and finally going full circle down to Lakeland before I joind the Army and settled up north. My childhood was the greatest, days full of fishing, hunting, boating and camping.

Even in the 80’s you could see hundreds of them and they all take off together such a beautiful sight to see, it’s truly a place where to this day feels like a good adventure any time you go. You do feel like your back in time and cut off from the rest of the world. Nothing better than the Everglades.Great video ❤️🙂😂

It really was a whole other experience back then. But a Entrepreneur can always spit an opportunity. Good thing Florida Residents established a method of balancing their environment and nature with the Humanizing and expanded building. I'm surorised the Gators didnt disappear, like the Buffalo. Dad bought us kids each a lot in Lehigh Acres, and I spent a number 8f Speungbreaks + vacations in Florida. I love the Gulf, the Oysters and the Dolphins that come in each morning, least by Santa Rosa Island, they are Puppies of the Sea, I love em. Been all over the Pan Handle and down the East coast to Miami, but Ive yet to experience the Keys. I'm gonna do that. Best Thoughts to all the Flloridans ...

It sounds rustic and romantic, but I grew up in south Florida. Without air conditioning you would be absolutely miserable. That area is great for fishing but afterwards you’ll want a clean bathroom to chit and shower, and enjoy your meal in a cool air conditioned environment. Those people had none of that. It was probably a lot rougher than this story makes out. I imagine everyone living there back then didn’t smell very good. Modern Americans couldn’t cut it today. Those were some tough mofo’s back then. And they probably didn’t live as long as Americans today live.

What has always been amazing to me was how many hermit hunts are out there. Some times I could come across them when I was young back in the late 80's. Sometimes.. there were still someone living in them. I haven't found anyone lately living in one. Late time was about five years ago. The old fella must of past away. I looked for him. Didn't find anything. So I pray someone found him or he made it into civilization and passed. I always would check in when I was down there on the ones I had met. Left a marker by were there places were at. But the hurricanes would make it hard to find some of them years later. Some would just disappear back to nature.

My Dad was on vacation in the Everglades in maybe 1996 or 1998. He couldn’t sleep, so he ventured out just at daylight. He’d gone about two miles on a road, then a path of sorts. He knew to look out for alligators, but he didn’t think of other wildlife. Upon seeing a really huge alligator in the path ahead, he turned around and headed back. When he reached the gravel road into the campsite, a cougar slunk across about 10 yards ahead of him. Not knowing what to do, he finally started yelling, screaming and throwing pine cones into the woods where he’d seen the cat. Mom chewed him out when he returned for his folly. He didn’t take any more early morning strolls away from civilization.

Neighbors girlfriend was eaten by this ''giant swamp owl". Spooks him today. There are so many predator species we have not documented properly.

The mindset that animals would last forever being killed in the thousands is mind boggling. Extreme selfishness and outright stupidity. So glad gators eventually were protected from dumb greedy men.

@@vakkerdame8557 There were no other ways to make money. I don't think that you really watched the video. These people were dirt poor living off of the land was the only way to survive. They lived in 90-100 degree F heat and clouds of mosquitoes. You may want to try learning something from the video instead of just spouting your psychopathy all over the place.
