You ease onto the two-lane highway and the landscape changes: sawgrass stretches like a green sea, mangroves lean toward the road, and the occasional alligator sunbathes at the water’s edge as if daring you to stop. The car becomes your hide and the audio narration your guide—stories queue and play exactly where you are, turning patches of swamp and boardwalk pullouts into points of meaning.
