Ocala National Forest
The fun began early today, just after sunrise. I wandered into Marshall’s swamp. Thickets, ferns, and falling trees decorated the environment. Yet, there were only patches of almost dry water pools. Was this really a swamp?
Dryness has its advantages. I saw another slippery copperhead snake as it wiggled rapidly inches in front of me. I yelled out a startled fear, but the little guy was long gone. Later in the day I encountered more of the same but continued wobbling a lawn in joining the national forests in its pristine clean and thankfully reasonably devoid of people environment.
