Picnic Platform
Submitted by woodstrehl on Mon, 03/10/2008 - 7:57am.Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge provides miles of canoe trails, some with platforms on which you can camp. Our trip was a day trip, but right at the appropriate lunch hour, this picnic platform appeared in our path. Fortunately for Anne there also was a port-a-potty, since there is no dry land to stand on.

Canoeing in the Suwanee Canal at Okefenokee Swamp
Submitted by woodstrehl on Mon, 03/10/2008 - 7:39am.March 8, 2008 – Brunswick, GA
Submitted by woodstrehl on Mon, 03/10/2008 - 7:27am.Moving south once again we toured the Savannah River National Wildlife Refuge from our motor home with auto in tow. We seldom attempt to bird this way. There are risks. Low hanging trees can force a turn around, and the double rig needs a large radius. Backing up is impossible. Still, worst case is to unhitch, turn around, and then have to reconnect. A nuisance certainly, but not the end of the world.

Okefenokee Swamp, GA March 9, 2008
Submitted by woodstrehl on Sun, 03/09/2008 - 6:42pm.Okefenokee is the word Native Americans gave for this "Land of the Trembling Earth". It is a large wet depression in southern Georgia, with pine trees, cypress, live oak, palmetto and lots of water.
We spent 2 days there. One, a canoe ride up the old Suwanee Canal that was built in the 1890's and the other a hike through the wetlands. When we started the latter, there was a sign that sections of the trail 'may be covered with water'. That was an understatement. Fortunately the 'Neos' we keep in the trunk of the car came in handy.
