Great Dismal Swamp

 

Great Dismal Swamp . Suffolk . VA


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!

  6. Interesting place I would like to visit. Great Dismal Swamp sounds like a place from a Harry Potter Book.

  7. The Great Dismal Swamp doesn't seem the right name for such a pretty spot Tanya, lovely series of shots 💚

  9. Good 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.
