Deane and Chris invite you to enjoy some of the natural beauty of Southwest Florida. Chris and Deane live on Oil Well Road, named so because it led into an Oil Well area of the Everglades.

Work continues to prevent oil wells in Florida Everglades ecosystem.

Everglades is flat, dominated by sawgrass, with a series of alternating ridges and sloughs, through which an imperceptible flow of water courses south from Lake Okeechobee. Ridges are only six inches higher than the sloughs, but this makes a huge difference in this sodden world. Sloughs are the valleys of the Everglades and the tree island ridges are its mountains.

The islands formed on elevated bedrock a few inches higher than the surrounding marsh, provide havens for animal and plant diversity. Tree islands are a half-mile to two miles long, and have two or three times more plant and animal species than the surrounding marsh. Wading birds use the island trees to nest; alligators and turtles lay their eggs on the dry land; and deer, snakes, lizards, and other animals find refuge there from rising water.
