Sacred swamp
Uploaded: 01/30/24 9:59 PM GMT
This is one of my most favourite parts of the swamp to hike. Yes, there are lots a big gators in the water along with snakes galore, spiders the size of your hand, otters, snapping turtles that can remove fingers along with nasty parasites etc. But there is a beauty history that goes back thousands of years. There are some ancient Indian burial mounds along the shoreline along with modern turpentine camps, old moonshining stills etc. Years ago, our canoe was tipping, so I jumped in the water not far from where this was taken and an alligator swam around the corner to see what was going and swam away. It was so cool to see us for a moment looking at each other and connecting much the same way I have with other animals. This was taken around 2006.
