Fans of Pogo will recognize this place, but Pogo has been out of print and off the funny pages for a couple of decades now, so the rest of you are forgiven. For me, the Okeefenokee has been a place of wonderment for almost six decades--since I saw a movie sometime in the 1950s that was filmed there and featured flat-bottomed boats, poisonous snakes, fierce alligators and characters in bib overalls with dubious ethics. We have been to central Florida many times but each time, we've always been in too much of a hurry to take a detour. Not this time. Marilyn cheerfully (?) agreed to a side trip. This, the largest wildlife refuge on the east coast, was chilly, quiet and . . . well . . . swampy. We promised ourselves we would go back when there is more action.

I've been there before! I like the swamps, a neat ecosystem.
