In April Nick and I took a little jaunt to The Great Dismal Swamp…our first stop was to the Wildlife Refuge/Lake Drummond where you can take an auto tour BUT as we rolled up to enter we noticed a fire and a firefighter blocking the entrance…turned out they had a controlled burn happening which they do once or twice a year…lucky us haha…oh well…there was other stuff to see…
I didn’t see any bears wearing masks but I kept my eyes peeled!
I kept thinking of the awful conditions the slaves had to work in 😞
Well even though we didn’t get to see the main part of our trip we still had a great time and I wouldn’t mind going again!

Today I’m thankful for great conversations with my boys when we can catch up on everything! We’ve been having crazy schedules lately so I haven’t really seen much of them but last night I was able to have fun talks with both of them which I really enjoyed!

...I always get a kick out of this name! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI've heard of the place and would love to see it for myself someday.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting place and I like the bear with the mask :) Thanks for linking up and have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteWow, you visited an actual swamp! And a famous one at that! Did you see any wildlife? What a neat place to visit.
ReplyDeleteWe drove past it once. I'd like to go back and get a closer look. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteInteresting place I would like to visit. Great Dismal Swamp sounds like a place from a Harry Potter Book.
ReplyDeleteThe Great Dismal Swamp doesn't seem the right name for such a pretty spot Tanya, lovely series of shots 💚
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't look dismal to me. :)
ReplyDeleteGood to see your fine photos. We had friends who sailed their boat through the Great Dismal Swamp years ago. It is part of the inland waterway. That is when I learned of Washington's involvement in the place.
ReplyDeleteWe were only talking about making a visit to the Great Dismal Swamp a couple of nights ago. This is great :)
