(2) S-343B looking southwest (That’s the Tamiami Trail to the left) Mile 1 |
(3) S-343A looking West Mile 2 |
(4) First of four temporary pumps, looking North Mile 4 |
(5) Second of four temporary pumps, looking North Mile 4 |
(6-8) Third and fourth of four temporary pumps and the S-344, looking North Mile 12 |
(6-8) Same spot as above looking Southwest Mile 12 |
(9) First of three breaks in the tieback, looking Northwest (the water in the gaps flows from right left) Mile 17 |
(10) Middle of three breaks in tieback, looking Northwest Mile 17 |
(11) Third of three breaks in tieback, looking Northwest Mile 18 |

More proof that the swamp isn’t just a rain-driven watershed.
