We went to Corkscrew Swamp Santuary on 9/7/10. It was a nice trip, but very hot. I was a little disappointed and I guess I need to tour the entire trail to know what I missed. Then again I don't think that will matter since we walked through the swamp on campus this past week.
I was so afraid of this trip and had myself convinced it was going to be the worst and the scariest thing I have ever done. I loved it! I so totally loved it. It was awesome and I can not wait to take my 8 year old on a trip to a swamp. I won't walk him through it but I want him to see it as it really is and not how the movies portray it, to appreciate the beauty and the calm of the it.
I couldnt help but to reflect on the readings from The Land Remembered. I tried to vision it as I was reading but had no idea what the book was talking about. I could see the MacIvey's trying to brave the terrain on a cart with an ox. I found it hard to believe any animal that didn't find shelter in the wetlands and swamp could be convinced to go into it. I wish I thought to bring my camera with me. Maybe next trip!
