11/19-21/2004 - Okefenokee Swamp
Stephen Foster State Park in the Okefenokee Swamp was our destination for a long week-end. We explored Billys Lake by canoe, getting out on the lake early each morning before the motor boats and wind. A hike and lunch on Billys Island was enjoyed on Saturday. We found Sunflowers and Spatterdock blooming and saw lots of alligators, a few snakes and turtles, Wood Storks, White Ibis, lots of deer, and an armadillo. As usual, the Okefenokee is a great place to see and get fairly close to lots of wildlife.
